29M-250 will also fit
Yes Rudy, also the 29-250 (plastic) will fit. I didn't mention those, because not many would want them.
Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.

just curious but can the bars be made without the holes in them. I like the look of the solid spacer bars. I mean I know they can be just didn't know if maybe it might be a patent issue or something.

TXAngler,
    I'm pretty sure they put the holes in the spacers to cut down on weight and aesthetically they look cool, too. ;)

You can find plenty of reasonably-priced  Jigmaster 500S reels on fleabay... they've got the solid bars.  :)

Ok I understand the purpose behind the holes in the bars, and yes they do look great, but my personal preference is a solid bar. Like Sal said these are the only stainless steel bars made. I do own multiple sets of the 501 bars, but eventually if I don't go with Tiburon frames I would like to upgrade to the  stainless steel bars if I can get them with out the holes. I would think they would be a little cheaper to produce since there would be less machining. Are the stock bars made of steel? They seem heavier than brass. Guess I need to see if they are magnetic.

Dustin,
Don't underestimate the strength of those bars. Even though they have holes drilled in them, they are stronger than any stock no hole bar out there. Thick solid stainless verses thin straight steel is no match.

I'm not underestimating anything I just like the look of a solid bar that is all  :)

Txangler81,

I think they are cut from stainless.  That means they will not be magnetic, or if so, just barely.
So many reels, so little time.
