Title: It fell from the sky
Post by: Maxed Out on July 12, 2020, 02:10:45 AM
 
A few days ago I clicked on eBay to see shipping progress for a small part I bought for my car. So I figured I would browse about at reel listings and just listed for like 1 minute was a jigmaster 501 and the description said jigmaster 500, but what caught my eye was a $15 buy it now and $10 shipping. Must be too good to be true and some kind of scam, but I bit the hook and bought it thinking worse scenario I'm out $25. 3 days later a box arrives and out pops the reel I figured I'd never see.

Here she be as found. I added the clamp, but still haven't gave the reel a good cleansing

I saw it too. I'm glad someone on this site got it.  There are people in this day and age that just wouldn't maintain that reel the way it should be just because of the price.
