whatever you do DON'T let him attempt to "double dog" it himself

the possible effects of such a task could be irreversible and haunt the kid for a lifetime.

This is really generous and kind of you all. Stand up guys you are indeed. I hope the reel lands many fish for its new owner.

ok, paul, here you go!  joel send your reel to me and it arrived in pieces.  that was actually easier because it saved me the trouble of taking it apart.  it was missing a handle, a dog spring and a side plate screw, but that was it.  



i needed just a minute to sort out the screws.



i'm going to add a used handle grip, a clamp that i dug up from the bottom of a box, and a used handle arm.  



i also have a stainless steel gear sleeve kit for the high speed 114hl.



the gear sleeve fit perfectly.  there is only a couple of thousanths of up and down play.



i had to grind down the high speed 114hl dog to match the low speed 114 dog.





it worked fine.  



and all done!  your reel is in the mail.  it should be there by saturday!



send me an email at alantani@yahoo.com for questions!

I should have sent you some 114 dogs to save you some time.
Hi, my name is Lee and I have a fishing gear problem.

Alan,your kindness knows no bounds especially now when you are suffering a bereavement. You have taken the time and made the effort to help a young man in need. If anyone ever needed their faith in human kindness restored they only have to read this thread.

A good example why you're our leader. You're a good man Alan.
I'm glad I'm a part of this great site.

Pcde, I would leave that reel as is and never change it. As you already know, that baby is very valuable,
it is loaded with kindness from others and customized by the Master himself.

I hope you get lots of use with it, enjoy it!

Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.

I think I gave the dog-spring to fastfish in Florida, I forgot to put the handle in box.  I knew it needed a plate screw but was guessing Alan would have one in his pockets or ashtray .......

Looks great Alan.

I can totally understand.  When I was going through a difficult time, it was work/hobbies that helped to keep my mind clear and sane.
