I have a few steel gears with tool chater on the drag contact surface but so far haven't tried cleaning them up.   If I ever get my lathe running I will.
Hi, my name is Lee and I have a fishing gear problem.

I have all of the answers, yup, no, maybe.

HI Keta, Yes mine appear to have chatter from milling. The drags are fine and in my case it probably doesn't pay to polish it up. It would probably create a new problem with the drag stack height if I polished it out.

Hi, 
   Is it right that the new jugmaster 500's are made in China?

Has anyone had experience with them as far as quality/durability compared to the old ones. An ad I saw stated 2 bearings but I was under the understanding that the old ones only had bushings. Have been looking for a good older one but they are a bit harder to come by over here in Aust and the postage from the US makes them more expensive than a new one.

Thanks,
Mark

G'day Mark,
The new ones are great - I've seen a good few and have had no issues with them.
'Bushings' and 'bearings' were interchangeable terms, historically.
Only the 505/506 high-speed versions have 'ball bearings'.
Hope that's of some assistance.
Cheers, Justin

Hey folks - been lurking for awhile and now took the plunge.
Thanks mainly to this board I tackled the clean up of my JM 500.
Got a shot of the parts list brought to life, and after it was all cleaned up.

Lucky is definitely Lucky.  Welcome to the board, and that's one nice reel...BTW, where's the spool?
:D I talk with every part I send out and each reel I repair so that they perform at the top of their game. :D

The side plate is marked 500S. I was looking for that RED spool.

Nice job Lucky, welcome!
I'm trying to figure out how that spool rolled off that tray :-\.
Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.

Spool?  I was so mesmerized by the beauty of the photo, I didn't even think about the spool.  Let's see, what else did I miss....
