Is there an aluminum spool available for a 235-5. The one on there now is graph. I'm trying to convert to aluminum spool and the new tiburon n235 frame.
i don't have one in stock. anybody?
Did you finish the conversion, and if so how did it turn out?
I don't have a spool for you either.
I tried to get a wide newell spool for their new n344 frame and trick out a jigmaster with it. But had no luck. Why is Tiburon making frames that you can't get spools for?
I asked Greg (Chowderpuff) if they were making spools for it yet and got no reply.
That's a reeeeeeeally old post. I've since upgraded that reel. Alum.spool. Tib frame ,new cf's,ball handle, you name it. But thanks for remembering guys.

I think you mean a 338 Newell Spool. A 344 is to big. Let me know.
Mike
This is the frame I'm talking about Mike, but I wanted it for a jigmaster and not a Newell.
Even if Tiburon is making the spools for it, they will cost more than the frame.
We talked about this a while back and I think there are no spools around for this frame other than ones from Tiburon.

If I have one it would be Black. Give me the frame with. I will check tomorrow.
Mike
I don't have the frame Mike. I'm not going to buy one until I have that spool. It was a yellowfin special made by Newell for the jigmaster. The spool needs to be 2 3/4" wide.
Not to sure what is in the closet. Maybe Jimmy Hoffa.
As long as that spool is in there with him. I'll keep it on the down low. ;D
Now that's funny!
Bob, what did you do with the old graphite spool and spacer bars?
I was thinking of converting a 229 over for surf casting because my friends told me the wider spool casts better that the narrower ones. I want to see it for my self. Thanks.
Bryan, I found the spool and an alum. Foot/base plate. Your welcome to them. I'll look around this weekend for the spacer bars. And the graph. Parts.
Bob
Thanks Bob.

I have some good news & bad news.
The BAD NEWS- You will be buying a Frame for the 344
Now the GOOD NEWS - I have a 344 Aluminum Spool for you
Mike
That sounds like all good news to me Mike! ;D

What lb test line would you fish on this reel? Are you using it for jigging or casting?
Tim
I've used it for both...boat and beach. 25# mono for the beach fishing. You can throw 6 to 7oz. Bait and weight from the sand. On the boat for jigging stripers and blues I'll use 40# braid with a 10ft shock leader of 30 to 40# floro. Hope this helps
Bob
When I worked on the Brooklyn VI I used all 40# Mono every Day on the boat. We cast under hand on boats here. I had no problem with 100' casts.
These could be very special reels. The Diameter lets you use Alan's 5:1 gears and Bryan's 5 disk drag and with all the other SS stuff you can put in them you can fish 80# line or more and still have plenty of capacity. I'm thinking big game kayak fishing!
Ron
That spool is a hard to find one for sure. Hopefully it will fit. I already have the full ss kit from Chui including the gears and spacer.
Daron let me know how the build goes. My only worry would be the length of the frame reducing how much drag you can use before you run into frame twist issues.
Even with all ss guts, I don't think this reel will generate enough drag to twist an aluminum frame.
I think something else would fail before that could happen.
I don't think it will distort the frame but you may notice some spool rubbing at higher drag settings. If not even better ;D

Daron,
I believe this is the spool that you'll need for a Penn Yellowfin Special, it should match a Tiburon N344 frame. The spool was made by Newell back in the day...

it actually measures 2.8100 from spool end to spool end

here is a pic of it next to a stock Penn 500 spool.
Let me know if i can help out
That's the one Al!
The frame is on the way. Thank you! You have reached Super Hero status! ;D
Well,
Its official Al! I now have a Jigmaster HLW! ;D

Finally got this conversion completed. Turned out pretty nice:
Nice reel. Your gonna love this one! Nice work and I hope it brings a lot of fish to gaff ;)
Good Job on that reel Bonita! It looks like a Cadillac! ;D
She sure is purdy! Liking the handle too!
Looks great and my favorite frame color for a Newell is silver with those black side plates. Well done.
Liking these Newells more and more.
Thanks guys.
