501 Conversion

[Reel 224]

I just converted the JigMaster 500 I built out of the Cortez Conversions plates to a 501 which is much more usefull for my needs. I added a Shift lever from Ted and the 501 kit came from Randy, handle arm is three7sevens knob is Pro challengers and 5:1 gears as well as SS bridge w/Double dog and 5 stack from Bryan.  Here are a few pictures of the old first and new second.

PS You will notice the great change that Ted's shift lever makes to the appearance of the reel, as a matter of fact all the conversion parts are fitted perfectly.

Joe, you just hit a home run. 

What a beautiful 501 you created. I'm quite certain that Otto Henze is smiling down upon you with full seal of approval.

Nice reel Joe. Did the narrow spool come with the frame from Tiburon?

Yes Sal. It worked right out of the box, no hassles with assembly.

Yup, Looks reely good Joe. Great size and color and the shift lever definitely adds to the whole show. Sweet reel!

I think I'm gonna owe Ted big time when I place my next order. Its all good though as they are top quality parts.

I actually replied to you earlier and for some reason the post is MIA. Don't know where it went and I didn't want you to think I'd lost my mind if it shows up twice.

Rest assured the mind is SHOT at this point and there isn't much that can be done about it!

Have a great afternoon,  ..  Lou

Lou: As I know you better then some, I know your mind is not "Shot", your just working to many jobs at once.

Nice to see a Master at his good works --

Even though we have exceptional products from various talented sources within our family -- the project pieces are made better by the skill of a gunsmith and reel-smith.

It is beautiful, Joe --

Best Always,

Fred
