Shimano Triton Mark 111S SHX Conventional Reel

Description: Desined by the ProfessionalsInside the layout is the same as the other 90s Triton/Speedmaster stardrag reels, nice quality and smooth. It's the same size as a SpeedMaster IV or 500 jigmaster, around 330yrds 30lb mono. Knurled Abu-style screws on the head-plate held in with o-rings made disassembly easy and free of 4 letter words. The stock 2 position power handle is a nice touch too, pretty close to a Penn design. I was happy to see it was really clean inside, with a nice large brass main and stainless pinion. The cast aluminum frame is a nice feature, no worry of graphite warping under load. I swapped the gummed up "titanium" drag washers for greased carbon, penn 113h washers fit perfectly into the 3 stack. What really impressed me the the mag cast control system. First the magnet is freaking huge, the biggest I've seen used in a mag cast reel of this size. At the highest setting the fully lined spool only spins for 4 seconds (even after shaft polishing and tsi321 in bearings), that's a lot of stopping power. A lot of thought also must've gone into the whole system because as you adjust the settings knob the tolerances feel great and even the sound of the clicks going 1-10 seem deliberate. 90's Japanese obsession with quality and packing technology in at its finest. I'm not sure why these really cool, well built reels didn't catch on. Has anyone here used/own one of these?If you guys would like a closer look at the internals or other parts let me know. I didn't feel like taking the bridge assembly apart again since the layout is pretty similar to other Triton stardrag reels, it's the mag cast system that makes this reel unique.
