I also prefer the 112H or even the Jigmaster.To me the 113HSP is too heavy and in my opinion overkill. People use them because of the chromed bronze spool, a must with wire. You are in a boat and can chase down anything that is going to spool you. If you jig all day with a 113 and 300 ft of wire you are going to feel it the next day. The only draw back to the 112H and Jigmasters on sale now is that they only come with aluminum spools. You will be repalcing the spools yearly no matter how diligent you are with maintenence. The leadcore and wire just packs on to tight to rinse way down in the spool, thus corrosion occurs. You can put 300 ft. of wire on them with plenty of dacron backing too. I look on e-bay to find the old reels with the cast bronze or stainless spools. I even buy the crappy looking spools and then have them stripped and chromed for 30 bucks. All the parts on the reels are replaceable. I have collected a life time suppy over the last several years. Paul
