Here are some other options though I know many will tell you to go with the avet and the newell. i was just looking at some faster geared reels as well: the shimano torium 6.2:1 looks good and weighs a whole 10 oz. lighter. I have also heard good things about the daiwa saltist: 6.1 or 6.4:1 ratio and weighs again about 10 oz. or less than the 113H. If I remember the 113H is a 3.25:1 gear ratio so these may be a little too fast for your liking. you may be good looking at a 4.9:1 or so. i'll see what else i can dig up.
