 Here you'll notice the cutout on jigmaster for the main gear, and the new seat that is designed to cover this to prevent water intrusion

Here is the 99 width seat with Cortez Conversions custom jigmaster side plates

 These seats will also fit a multitude of conventional Penns. 49, 149, 1/0,lb65,66,67,squidder 140,145 146,surfmaster 100, 150,200, jigmaster 501,99,500.  180, 49a,209,309 and several more stock Penn reels

Here is one that might get attention of a few here. The born again seaboy 190. Sorry Mo, I couldn't help myself

These seats accept long screws, so toss those short seat screws aside and put in long screws for optimum performance

I also have a limited amount of my 3 piece 113YTS frame kits.

Silver, black, and Red(clamp or spool not included. Tom H is your guy for clamps....Tiburon or Randy Pauly for the YTS spools).

It's been a couple years, but for now they are back. I never get tired of looking at these kits paired up with Cortez new style plates

Those look great Ted, they should fit 300 series Newell's too.
Do what you can with that you have where you are

Looking good Ted - they've got a lot of possibilities.

It can't be too difficult - a lot of people do it.

Very good idea Ted, now we'll have many more options.
Having Tom involved machining these and you as a designer, I'm sure these will be better than expected.
Please put me down for a few sets of red-black and silver... if available.
I prefer squidder  size.
If you have 145 size snd 146 I'll take those two sizes.
Thanks Ted, oh and thanks to Tom as well.

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

Will these work on the newell 200 size also ? I remember a few years back somebdy was fitting penn reel seats to some of the newell reels.
