Hi Tom, any plans for the knobs to fit the Squidder like the Jiggy ones? I would need a few and I bet Mike wants it too....among others :)

Those are shared by Jigmasters and 113H's.
Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.

Guys I went on Cortez Conversions site and he is out of stock for know, but like Sal said the knurled baring cups do fit his Squidder kit also. So when they are back in stock we can purchase them.

I pulled on off my 501 and it fits but it sticks out pretty far on that small reel. Would be handy for adjusting spool tension when changing lure weight for casting
Do what you can with that you have where you are

The adjustable know only fits the very early Squidder kits.I made a revision after the first run that made it a no go on all the later runs.

Ah...and that is the one I tried. I've forgotten all about that thread above, thanks Tom.

   That would be handy for quick adjustments...but I have admit...I set my spool tension when I assembled my CC Squidder and haven't touched it since. I thought when changing baits it would need a tweak, but so far no need. I barely even need to thumb the thing, it really casts great. It could be my choice of bearing lube. I didn't use any super light birds' nest inviting lube, I used CorrosionX HD. 8)

Adjust bearing for freespool, adjust thumb for baits.
