jigmaster spool

[garking84]

IV been fishing for two years so im no expert and I have a couple of questions . I have a jigmaster 500 with the maroon spool i read somewhere that it's a very fragile spool. So i wanted to know if the spools for jigmaster 500 and 309m are interchangeable. also which  reel is better both have ss gear sleeve, but when i opened the 500 to install the gear sleeve i noticed all of its parts  where stainless Steel. Do these  reels come like this or previous owner upgraded everything? Thanks

hi   garking      the spools aren't interchangeable,  as far as the spool being fragile ,alot of guys put dacron on first, this acts like a cushion, the mono can crush a spool.    harryk

garking, maroon spools are usually plastic so shop around for a good used chrome or black aluminum spool.  Red spools from a 500S are aluminum too.      Rudy

Scott's has them (mysticparts.com) and Ebay usually doesn't beat him by much if at all.

The 500 was available with a Stainless Steel spool for a few years.  They are very strong.  I like them.  They can be found on ebay.

I have a couple that I bought on ebay as a set. Cost is $15 plus shipping. Thats what I paid minus shipping.
