Haven't gotten the innards fully tweaked with all the goodies I want as of yet, but I've been sitting on some of these parts for a while and wanted to get them all together. PC kit, spool, blade, Lou knob, PC DD bridge (from Sal), steel gears and chrome other stuff from S, Ted shifter and a silver anodized CC clamp.

Looks great John. That's a color I haven't seen in a Lou knob yet. What are you going to spool your PC Jigmaster with?

Mike, haven't decided exactly but probably 50lb braid and topshot 30 mono. I haven't decided exactly how I'll use it. I got cast control so I'll probably be around 200 yds braid and 75 of mono, maybe a hundred. I have plenty of stuff to bouce straight up and down.

you?

Another beauty,great knob and a nice touch on the clamp. I tried an orange Maxed-Out clamp but just a taste too wide. All these great parts,the lego set just gets bigger!

Nice build John

We're you able to use stock jigmaster bridge screws ?? Mo said his stock bridge screws were too short

Nicely done as usual John. The blues added to the silver give it just enough offset to make it pop.

Excellent!

well, hard to say what screws are in there, I rummaged around in the screw Plano until i found four that fit- it wasn't so much the length as the variance in head diameter to fit the tight tolerance of Alan's plate. One is from a 113H and is longer. I believe the others to be jiggy screws left from Cortez builds.

Lou, when I asked for that knob I had just seen Alan's request of interest on the kit and spools...probably almost two years ago...I had this scheme concept in mind. Ted sent shift and clamp to me last year and it came together in mind.

The stock Jigmaster bridge screws are definitely short. There is a discussion about it on Alan's Jigmaster kit thread. There must be a difference between what they designed with and stock Penn screws. Not surprising...considering the stock Penn screw is older than me and the Mcmaster-Carr screw was made a month ago. I'd like to think I'll hook a fish big enough to rip that single thread off the stock screws...hee hee...so I modded a set of 113H screws.
