Wow !! I don't know how I missed this thread, Are those aluminum plates still available and if they are where can I order it ? And can someone please tell me what the price is involved with shipping fees to South Africa.
If possible I would prefer black my Jigmaster I want to modify like that is black and do I need to do any modifications on the parts or will they all fit ??
Thanks
Regards
Henry

I finally got around to building my Jigmaster with the CC green plates and red spool.  I will start another thread with photos.  I was going to make it a shelfie but decided to fish it but I have a couple of questions.  As you know the plates came with both bearings and bushings. 
One: Which would you use with a SS sleeve bearings or bushings to get the highest amount of drag? 
Two: Has anyone tested the drag and what is the highest amount of drag one may expect out of this conversion? 
Three:  Any other advice I did not double dog it? (I used the guts from a Jigmaster 500)

  My advice is send it to Sal. He will tank it and test the drag poundage with a wagon full of bricks in his driveway  


    Not sure bushings or bearings make any difference on drag poundage. My assumption is the casting capabilities would be different. Also the bushings may fair better for extended use in harsh environments.

I haven't started the thread.  I just received the SS sleeve so I will have to take it apart again and that's when I'll memorialize it in photographs.  Nice greenie there Redfish. Someone captured the name the Green Hornet on the site for his greenie.  I am calling mine the Green Hulk.  Dominick

Sweet reel.

  The narrow green is my favorite.

Sure is a Beauty Clark.
Custom Plates and star. I think a green knob power handle will put it over the top!

 You're right Daron, but those green handles can no longer be found. Maybe someday they'll make a comeback, cause the early accurate matching handles were sweet....How much would a guy pay nowadays for a handle like that ?

Maybe one of the old green swirl penn power handles.
Old school meets new. I like that expression, because I do it weekly.

Got the Red plates put together with a tiburon yellowfin kit, power handle, stainless internals and a steel 4:1 gear. Took her out fishing for the first time, casts pretty well but needs a bit of tuning to get it out to the horizon. She's pretty though, thanks Tom for making these available to us!
