New narrow 112H

Out of stainless? This is very exciting.

I'm with Ron, the cut out would be the way to go, all is needed  is to leave a 3/16" wall. I mentioned this to Alan a little while back but haven't heard anything. I do not mind paying an additional $10 or so per set, these would work on all of the gears that we're getting.
If this does work out, we will need to wait until the gears that Alan is bringing to us,are out of the way.
if it doesn't happen, Doc's hex sleeve will do us.

Sal, we can try few sets on the 112H. Do you perhaps have the diamension how far each ears should be?

[Doug]

If an  insert works for the 112h  it should also work on any reel using the same gear set  right? I am thinkibg about what an awsome 501 you can have  Doug

[Robert Janssen]

Ah, right... again i am reminded to get back to you about that...

[Ron Jones]

Doug,

I believe Sal has already done a 501. Look up Hex drags.

Slots are better than an insert. Black Pearl is checking with his contact, he will let us know when he gets some info.
This is good guys, I was able to push Black Pearl's gears up to 22lb and that was with the star as tight as it could go. With my gears that I placed the six slot , I was able to get 28lb .
My tests are done with the line going through the eyes of the rod and by turning the handle, not easy.

You dudes are killin' me.  When this becomes reality, every 500 series/112H/Newell I own will be this...Bring it!

Out of stainless? This is very exciting.

The first ones might be aluminum.

[Cone]

I don't mind aluminum. Bob

[BMITCH]

Aluminum is just great. So far this winter I've been into ALL my reels at least 5X with all the updates!! Seems like you just get out and they pull you back in. All in good fun. Are we running out of updates yet? Lee, I have a couple of machinist friends looking into an insert for the gears. I don't hold out much hope in that it will get done in a quick time frame. They don't fish so I don't expect there tobe any urgency to get it done. If it gets done at all. Thanks for all your hard work.

Ok guys. I have an update on this subject.

I can make 50 gear sets (main and pinion) for JigMaster 500/112H per Sal's requested. These 50 sets will have 6 ears as shown in the picture. I might have to get in touch with Dawn (Smooth Drag) on making those CF drag washers available.

Theses 50 sets will be SUS 316, helical cutting and 5:1 ratio.

I have not confirmed anything yet, but the original project (with original 2 ears only) for the JigMaster/112H samples will be started soon.


Now the question will be who want it and please show your hand. I don't know how much it will be yet, but it should not be high.

[BMITCH]

Hi Alan, I'm in for one set for now. Maybe a couple more for my buddies reels. One now for sure.

Thanks
Bob

[Ron Jones]

Alan,

I am in for a set. I want to get 1 set of these and 1 of Keta's adapters and do a head to head on my Tuna special.

Hi Lee,

You may want to think about using brass.  it's about the same price, but much less hastle to cut from the machinest perspective.

I would like two set sets of the Jigmaster 500/112 gears with the six ears.
