That's a beauty of a reel, Al.
Clearly, you take nice care of that black beauty.
She'll last you a lifetime and you'll look good too

Thanks for sharing,

As I stated my yoke for the magnum is different then the 113h one, that you have in yours. It looks like a bored out jigmaster yoke. Its good to know the 113h one wil work though.

the 113H yoke didn't work in the reel that I was putting together. Quite possibly it has to do with the length of the jack. The jack I was using was from a jigmaster and didn't quite have the reach to fully disengage the pinion gear from the spool. When I installed a bored Penn 500 yoke, then it worked.

Would you like red, gold or black, and Jigmaster 500, 3/0 or 4/0?

Oh man and Christmas is just over?

Sharkin904 · December 28, 2015, 01:52:14 PM

I'd love a black jigmaster, but I have a feeling it's beyond my budget lol

I have one red Jigmaster Magnum and one gold. I am sorry to say that I do not have one in black. The black Magnum is a mint 4/0 Lefty, but I can easily convert it back to a righty.

What would that Magnum 4/0 go for ?

Vintage Offshore Tackle · January 03, 2016, 05:55:25 PM

The red one would go for $445. I would have a hard time parting with the black one because it's dead mint.

I have a couple of questions about this build. It appears that the plates and the spool are the hard part to find? That is what makes it so costly? Just curious!
