Jigmaster resto

[TongassFisher]

Finished this guy up tonight from parts off a few donor reels. Scored the side plates from an AT member last year but couldn't find the time to do anything with them until today.

Nothing special I know but I thought it turned out alright and wanted to at least share a picture. It's all stock with HT-100s, stock brass main with a used stainless sleeve I had sitting around from a trade I did.

So quick question, is a star labeled 10-60 a fine thread? I'd like to change to a larger star with the same threads to fit this ss sleeve. I tried a larger star off a 309 but it didn't want to thread on smoothly.

Nice! Love the clean look!
I need to get a jigmaster or two to play with soon.

Answered part of my question, Scott's show the 10-60 star as being course threading I believe.

My question now is, what larger star fits this same thread pitch? Does that even exist?

Take a look at Adam's (Motive Fabrication).
Lots of options to choose from.

   Well...that 309(#10-49) star should have worked...maybe it was just tight? Also a #10-66 will work but it's a tad thicker than the #10-60.

Man I guess I'll have to try it again, or try a different one from a different 309. Maybe the tollerences are stacked and it's just tight.


Mo thank you for the reply this is the exact info I was looking for.

Thanks Chad, I'm a huge fan of the motive stars!

I should have said I'm trying to keep it stockish looking.

I really like a 66 star on a Jigmaster. The thicker star is easier to turn when your hands are cold and wet.

nice looking reel. tough to beat a jigmaster for a do it all reel

I've used both the 10-49 and the 10-66 stars on 98-60 sleeves and I really prefer the 10-66 on the Jigmaster. If you go that route you may have to sand or file or grind the cylinder sleeve(what I call it) 'cause a the star thickness factor.

If you work on many reels, its a good idea you get yourself a tap for the star.
Some times they've been under too much stress and re tapping will bring them back.
