I'd prefer diy too. I have a big stash of parts, pretty sure I'd just need parts unique to the reel

Very Nice, as much as I don't like blue that is a very nice shade.
Buy it nice or buy it twice.

Are those yokes the same as the ones found in a Progear 545? Interchangeable perhaps?

Price for the JigMaster Magnum mid-width(99) side plates and spool kit will be $210.00 plus $10 shipping in the US via USPS.
The kit will include the right and left plates, spool, and eccentric lever. The parts kit will include stainless steel hardware, bearings, bearing cups, screws, clicker knob assembly, and pinion yoke, it will also come with a list of parts you will need to source from both JigMaster and 113H reels.

This build requires an aftermarket 99 width frame from Cortez Conversions, Accurate, or Tiburon and is not included in the kit.

I only have Black, Red, and Ice Blue plate kits in stock, and only a few of each at the moment. The spools will only come in Black, unless there's a group buy.

If you're interested in a kit, PM me and I'll process orders first come, first served.

If you would like me to build a complete reel for you, please PM me and we can discuss pricing and lead times.

Well, I'm here now to show off my new Cortez Conversions 99 jigmaster magnum.

It's got 113h 4/1 gears from Bryan Young, fresh ht-100 drag stack, Tom's steel gear sleeve, Lee's steel dog, and also Tom's killer half frame, and custom acrylic knob.

  The build was fairly easy. Jigmaster parts: eccentric, eccentric spring, eccentric jack, shift lever nut, and clicker ring. Rest of parts are 113h: bridge,sleeve,gears,drags,dog, dog spring, scalloped handle nut, 113h handle

All I can say is what a beast of a reel. Huge shout out to Tom for offering this limited run of a magnificent piece of engineering to the Ohana !!

That's really nice Ted and that marble handle is so sweet!

Any updates on the colors available?

Damn Ted, that's sweet! How much would you have saved by just going with a black PG 541?

 Yes Mark, I have a silver 541, and it's wider and bulky compared to Tom's 99 with his lightweight half frame. The 541 did cost less, but I couldn't pass on this opportunity. My PG545's have limitations on line capacity for live bait albacore. The 99 width line capacity is just right. Plus I can also use it for halibut and ling cod

I missed that it's a 99 size! A 545 doesn't have enough capacity for Albies? You don't use spectra backing? I used smaller reels for Albies back when they were a thing down here with straight 25 mono and never felt that I didn't have enough line.
