Black Pearl's gears for 500- 505 & 112H

[Alto Mare]

I received the gears today:

These are the standard, I placed Bryans 5+1 Kit and the last washer sits nice and flush with the gear.

And here is the one that has been customized by lowering the wall by 1mm.
I didn't test the custom....there is no need, I did test the standard set.
These gears will work very nicely in the 505 Jigmaster

Stock 505 gears on the left new gears on the right

I installed Bryans kit, but the last washer is thicker

Gears did great, nice and smooth. No issue with the clutch, free spool or anything else

I also tested the 112H, same results


These are some nice gears, I didn't test them on the 500, simply because I don't believe there is a need to.

Great job Alan, thanks again for making these available to us....you're the man!

[Bryan Young]

Sweeeeet Alan.  Thank you for helping us.

[Alto Mare]

Ok, I decided to do the Jigmaster 500 as well




These gears are silky smooth, the only thing I've notice is that using Bryan's 5+1 kit, the small wavy spring washer doesn't take you to max, you will need the Belleville that comes with the kit.

I really need to learn to double dog jigmasters in alternating sequence. 

[Alto Mare]

Why? you're better off simultaneously. Alternating is much easier to do, you just pop them in.
We have a great fishing reel here.

[Bryan Young]

Sal, i have never had a problem with a single dog in operation even at higher drag settings.  but if I can reduce the back play...that would be great.

[Alto Mare]

I still say you'll be better off with simultaneously, but you're the boss

Guys, this was a functionality test, not a stress test.
Gears work very nicely, but we will need to see if they'll hold up under stress.

[Newell Nut]

You doing the bucket full of bricks test tomorrow?

[broschro]

They look sweet can't wait to get some.

You doing the bucket full of bricks test tomorrow?

Might be better to just fish them for a while and see what happens.

Be sure and bring a sea bass rig with you if you come down next week. We have picked up a few cobias on live bait and jigs.

Sal
We have room for you too and bring the reels. I have plenty of rods for you.

I definitely agree with these Black Pearl Gears. I only have the 113H and 114H standard sets, but they are very impressive!
