 Here is a thread for everyone to post up Cortez Conversions builds. I'll start by posting some Thorhammer bling for inspiration. Please post up your Cortez reels here for all to see

I have a few full Conversions, but most are in storage bins at the moment. Here is a Cortez jigmaster 500.

That's a 146 Jose.  It's in the photo for a size comparison.   The red reel is a 9/0.

Thank you Chris.  Those two of yours are my favorites.  It took brass bells to roll the dice with your engraver, but they came out spectacular.

Port to starboard Jigmasters; 501(Tiburon frame), 99, and a 500. Kind of a lousy picture, but I had to edit out the hand-made stickers, I put in various places. Working reels and I like to keep track of the line and leaders.

Here's my squidders. One with the CC 146 in cobalt, an XN frame from Randy with black plates and a silver 146 with Ted's silver base
Do what you can with that you have where you are

Some sexy stuff there, folks! Great idea, Ted. I'll see if I can get a few out. I counted the builds with Maxed Out and CC stuff on them the other day and it was in the dozens.
