HOT ROD 309

Sal,
I knew what you meant, old buddy.  I wanted to clear things up for Broschro.

Will the 99 size stand fit

[Ron Jones]

Yes, the 99,112h will both fit.
Ron

[Alto Mare]

No Ron, the 99 will not work. The width is the same, but the 99 comes with (3) holes for the stand. It wouldn't have been a problem if the outer two holes line up, but they don't.
Jamie, I have a few 30-66 they're the older type, I believe some called them skeleton stand.
If you need me to send you one, I'll be happy to do so, but you won't be able to attach the rod clamp.

[George4741]

Broschro,
If you want to stiffen the frame a little bit, then use a Newell RB-2 reelfoot.  Since the reel is only held together with 3 posts and a reelfoot, this is about all you can do to make it more rigid.
 George

BTW if you install a Newell foot, then replace those short screws with some longer ones.

so the 99 size won't fit that stinks I just won one off of ebay anyhow I'm going to do what I can to make this a muscle real for my son

Hi Sal, I think those so called skeleton stands are 30-65 LB stands, as they are the same width as a 30-66.   Rudy

[Ron Jones]

Huh,
Their is a Newell stand on ebay right now that says 112H / 99. I've seen other references also, but Scotts does indeed say I'm an idiot.

Rudy, you're a walking encyclopedia , I got my magnifying glass and it does say 30-65, very hard to tell on some though, it looks more like 66 than 65. That said, they will still work.

Don't be too upset about that 99, it's a good item to have. Those are close to impossible to find

Ron, you can't get them all right...I sure don't.

Here is a link to a photo of an ACTUAL 99 stand.  Same width as a 30-66 but with 6 screw holes.

Irish Jigger did some nice and unusual work on this reel.

[broschro]

as always thanks for all the info guys can I use the 99 stand on the 505?does Smoove drag still have some of the stainless steel gears for the 505?

[George4741]

can I use the 99 stand on the 505?

No.  The 30-99 stand only fits the 99 Silverbeach. 

[broschro]

Ok I just re read the listing, jigmaster 99 size. So now what reel beside the jigmaster will this fit? Looks like I will need some more parts 

[broschro]

Is the 501 narrow? 

[Keta]

Yes, it's a 500N
