I bought an old 113h Senator and decided to pimp it up a bit for a new/old trolling/bottom fishing reel.
I like low gear ratios combined with tall spools for a bit of grunt.
The 113h gear ratio is 3.3:1 but because of the tall spool, line retrieval speed is acceptable.
It`s hard to find reels now with low ratios, and I wanted a star drag for simplicity.
The 113h has been made in China for a few years now, but if you want to put a Tiburon frame on it, you will need an older made in USA reel.
The reel I used is about 40 years old and I was fortunate enough to find one in very good condition.
I built this r90899eel for just over $300,00 and on it, I put a topless Tiburon frame, a stainless gear sleeve, a carbontex and new metals drag kit, a new aluminium spool 90898and might even put a custom handle on it if I can find one that looks as good as the original.
I`ll mainly be using it for trolling with 40lb mono.90897
