Cortez Classic Jigmaster

[Maxed Out]

internally they are 100% jigmaster, so yes they are still a jigmaster reel at heart.

Here is another Cortez Classic 99. Tom makes our builds look like a gem no matter how you slice it(or build it Lol)

Ted you're killing me, with that red 99.

You're proto type shift lever looks fantastic.

My messed up right hand, is gonna like your eccentric lever.

There almost close to a lever drag. Can't wait to see!

Ted did you get that handle and knob from Randy Pauly?

[Maxed Out]

I'd also be in for several of those levers, Ted. Very nice, and practical for the arthritic thumb. Greg

 No problem Greg, I'll give you a shout when they're back from the plater in next couple weeks


 Anthony, Black will be one of the lever colors, and of course that handle came from Randy Pauly

Ted, the reel is awesome! 
Please put me on the list for several of those great looking eccentric's. Nice work.

You were already on the list Lou. I figured I didn't need to ask Lol 


  There will be a clearance issue for offset handle arms. the next batch will have shorter top bar and thinner main body to allow more room for offset handle arms.

  Here is clearance with straight blade handle arm

I like 'em Ted!

They loook sharp, and should improve function, as well as preventing wear issues.  No chance of fumbling around trying to find that lever in the heat of the moment. 

Keep up the great work!

  Nobody has posted a 501 Cortez classic yet, I know I'm not the only one building Toms kits, so c'mon and post em up, we want to see them.

  Here is my version of the classic 501, and  99, and a soon to be built 500

Beautiful Set!  Damn those are hot!

Just finished mine yesterday.
I was looking around for a stainless handle but couldn't find one.
That prototype eccentric lever looks great though I'd buy one haha.
Cortez kit, Pro Challenger SS parts, Brian's 5+1 drags and an EVA knob.

If you make those levers for a 113H I'm good for three.
Thanks

  Very nice combo and great first post. Welcome to the forum. Sounds like you've already been hanging out if you have all those internals in your classic Jigmaster.

  Custom levers will be ready very soon, and very affordable. If you're looking for custom handle arms then Adam is your guy, and for custom knobs its Lou, or Alan C.

 Hi Patrick, These levers are direct replacement for Penn #66 lever, so it is the correct lever for jigmaster as well as any 4/0 and any other penn that takes #66 lever. The first batch of 100 is in my hands, just gotta get them to the plater. Waiting for break in the weather to make the 5 hour drive

Thanks Ted! Can't wait till they're available.

Thanks! All I wanted was 5:1 gears and a non counter weighted handle then I snooped around this site and all of this happened haha.
