Jiggy build

thorhammer · January 09, 2018, 01:09:52 AM

I bought a green Tib frame and handle last year to build out a CC green Jiggy, but the colors were off. I was highly anticipating that particular one and maybe that's why I never really liked this reel I built out of leftover parts, UNTIL I got some sweet swag lever and clamp from our man Ted that sets it off.

Very happy the green tib clamp found the perfect home and I think you made great choice to use the silver with the green.....super sexy

Very nice John!

I'm a fan of the 2 tone reels and/or mixed colors. Of course I'm also a fan of solid colors too. Actually, I like them all!

Spent a few hours yesterday installing Ted sawg and dammit didn't take a pic of the red Jiggy arm completing the Cherry Bomb 501 CC. When I get back it I will get one.

I got that same color combo in the new T4N1 to build, actually two, since the green colors didn't match up I got a silver and green kit and a silver and green set of CC plates.

Wow! It looks like there are going to be a lot of shelf queens.

Wow! I love that Tiburon handle with the logo on it...are the colored handles hard to get? I thought they only came in black. Sweet reel John.

Awesome jigmaster build John! What's it got going on inside?

That is a beauty! I might need to start treasure hunting for an electric blue tib blade.... I have a whole lifetime to find one

I like the colors, you did good,

and if we could beg of you where did you get the Tib handle? I love the rubbergrip when its cold. Nice work. Ill be waiting to get a couple. Thanks. gst.

Nick, Ted had some electric blue in the works that should match CC plates way better than Tib blue. They are sweet!

Gary, I believe I bought that handle and frame straight from Tib. The original Area Rule T-bar handles are probably the most heavy duty thing I've ever seen, as discussed with Sal and Dan over a five hour Light meal at Sal's last night. I have one on 16/0 and 9/0 (that handle from Dan). The current iterations, which ate licensures and a bit lighter duty, do feel good in hand as you indicate. I heeled my 14/0 with one as well.

For basically the same money I think Alan's handle is stronger in the arm.
