My first attempt at pictures... Got my fingers crossed.

Just finished these two. All possible upgrades. Started out with a couple of 500 Jigmasters as doner reels and proceeded to get carried away. Side plates from Tom, Tib frame, spool from Randy, stainless gears and bridge from Alan, 5+1 stack from Bryan, stainless yoke and jack.

It's beginning to look like Christmas.
: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

Those came out very nice, the silver goes well there. Are those penn spools or tiburon?

Those are Penn spools that I picked up from Randy.

Beautiful reels

The silver jigmaster 500 spool is very tough to find. I believe Penn only offered them for a very short time before switching to red aluminum spool

Looks killer! What's the point of a donor reel when there's nothing left of it? Kinda like I've had this axe for 20 years and have replaced the head twice and the handle 3 times but it's the same axe!

Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.

Randy may have a few more. But I'm tapped out for now.
