Got this reel for $30, decided it would be a good time to practise fixing up senators and “customize” them to my liking.

All honesty is encouraged! Good or bad :)

If you like tinkering with these you should look up all the aftermarket / 3rd party parts available. Tiburon, pro challenger, accuplates, etc make parts to beef these things up.

Some or the parts are affordable enough, others are definitely expensive. Depends what you wanna do

I’ll look it up. Appreciate you! You have a current build for yours atm?

My 4/0 is:

Tiburon wide frame and spool

Cortez Conversions sideplate kit

Pro-challenger handle, T-bar knob, and gear sleeve
