Quote from: Gfish on Today at 12:43:45 AMSeems like one wouldn't really need a 500 size Jiggy. With the availability of braid, a 99 size or Maybe even a 501 size would be wide enough to hold alla line your gonna need.
Then again, I have an 808 extra wide, Randy/Tiburon Jiggy, so what do I know. 500yds of 65# braid...
I've never found "need" to be the right word to use when describing vintage penn mods. Unless I'm saying "I need to stop."

None of it is a need. All of it is a want. That's half the fun.

Nice! Spring on the East Coast. Still like Winter here. Surface water temp. 75 F(should be around 78 or so).
Way back at the beginning of your "Luck" thread, I suggested it was "skill". I think you can change it to that. Whata you 🤔?

Got the spool finished. I painted the spool drag brake / name script red and shined the spool with oil.
Installed it on the reel and drag works great. Such a light gear click to it. So subtle.

Question: Did these have anti reverse? This one does not. Is something missing or just an early version? The reel had obviously been tinkered with before I got it. Is this a part that could be removed or not reinstalled?

Anyways, all wrapped up and what a task. So many micro parts and tiny screws. Solid body case was a first, as well.
I feel I can tear into my no.2 without issue.
The guys who built these reels, in the day, wow! Cheers to them!

This will be getting crappie catching action soon! I'm pretty sure it's going to be in regular rotation, too.
Mechanical bail arm, so cool and reel just oozes swagger.
