Loose Bridge Stem on the Jigmaster

[Aiala]

EXPERIMENTATION IS ONE OF THE BEST WAYS TO DISCOVER THINGS...

Ain't that the truth! Last week I discovered that a Tib frame doesn't work on a Jigmaster 500S; the top of one of the attachment lugs on the left-side ring protrudes enough on the ring's inner side that it prevents the frame from sitting flush. Grrrr... but, live and learn.

The guts are the same as a 500 so you could get a set of side plates and "fix" your problem.

but they are not as pretty red...

Aiala, I have a bunch of sideplates if you need a set.  Let me know.

I'm going to the shop soon and I'll look at my 500S to see if there is something else that can be done.  BTW, I prefer the older dark maroon side plates.

I just picked up a Nice 500 with the Maroon side plates. The woman had it listed as a 508, I guess that's why I got it for 25 Bucks!

[Bryan Young]

Nice deal.

Aiala, it should work for you, the only problem that I ran into with those is that Tiburon screw holes don't line up with the plate, but if you keep the screws loose and tilt the frame a little as you go, you should be fine.

Worked for me too, and I had to leave the screws loose until all were started too.

Beautiful reels gentlemen!

With all those modifications, I am surprised to see the factory handle with the small torpedo knob.  That knob just puts the "Auwe" on my hands! 

[Keta]

My 500S is normally stock and collects dust on a shelf, I put the frame on it to see what the problem was. 
It will be back to stock tomorrow.

Lee, you shouldn't have shown your blue along with mine, now the Sharker is going to want one for himself

Same here, just to help out

Not really Sal. I think if you are going with a Blue frame, You need a Black Reel. Black and Blue.

[Aiala]

Well, I still can't figure out how you fellows managed to negate those little protuberances on the left-side ring, but it doesn't matter; I decided to keep my 500S reels in their original classic configuration, and instead followed Mr. Shark's example: I bought another old Jigmaster! (I think that makes eight... ye gods)
