A Few Jigmasters

[Keith K]

I got a 500 and a 501 pretty cheap and wanted to narrow 'em up.  Got some goods from Alan and Dawn...



This will help...



500-501 conversion, 505-506 conversion, 500 with Newell 332 kit, 500 with Tiburon frame, Newell 322 (cousins right?)

Good job....any difficulty mating the handles to the arms and to the sleeve?...also noticed the "parts bins" knida looked like momma's good china ..keep up the good work and make sure to put the toothbrush back before someone notices it missing

The machining is tight.  Zero play, so at first I thought they wouldn't fit, but they are perfect.  The handle nut snugged them down.

Shhhh!

Nice work Keith.  I've done the same for some other reels.  Even though Alan whats to redesign those arms, I like them.

Nice!  Perfect examples of the ideal jigmaster. 

Even though Alan whats to redesign those arms, I like them.

Hmmm, I didn't know Alan has those arms.  I'll admit, though, I prefer the "Khanh Tran Special" style arms.

Yeah...Alan, the arms are cool to me.  What would you like to see different?

[alantani]

i would have preferred the same arm style as the penn jigmaster power handle.   

[Bryan Young]

I'd like to see the arms like the Newells.  I think it adds leverage due to the elbow in the arm at points where you may have less leverage.
