Hi all,
I have not started any project since my brother Sal left us. Well, I think it is time for me to start again.
As I remember, Sal asked me to make some JigMaster Magnum stuffs. So, I going to make that JM Magnum side plates with 501 magnum or 99 magnum spool in the kit.
The left side plate will come with all inside parts. Both sideplate will come with SS bearing cap and Boca bearing.
I am hoping to keep the price between $200 and $220.
I will update this post as more info coming available on this project.
My resource is working on this right now. It should not be long.
Please let me know if you guy have any idea. To honor my brother Sal, I would like to engrave "Alto Mare Magnum" on the left side plate.
I love the thought that you would memorialize Sal with "Alto Mare Magnum" on the side plate. He sure is missed around here.

Great idea for a memorandum. I'm in. Rudy

Mike,
I have missed that guy so much. I talked to him on phone almost 2 or 3 times a week back then.
Wonderful Project and I wholeheartedly support your efforts. A production tank so to speak. I would vote, if there were are a vote to be taken, drop the Magnum from the name, just go with Alto Mare. It says everything.
"Alto Mare Magnum" will have special meaning to those that knew him, but it also actually makes a great name for a reel, since, (if you don't already know) "Alto Mare" translates to "high seas".
Let take a vote on the name to be on it.
Alto Mare Magnum sounds great, sign me up for one! Fitting tribute!
Alto Mare Magnum is an excellent choice. It says it all.

I agree ! I only communicated with the man through PMs. But he was always more than willing to help with his vast knowledge and mechanical expertise... a man sorely missed ...
I would also be in for an "Alto Mare Magnum"
Cool
Great tribute, Alan, and I couldn't think of a better project. I'm certainly in on at least one Alto Mare Magnum.
Yes, Alto Maré magnum.
Maybe include a DD bridge too
Im not even sure if I need one for my fishing style, but if you make them put me down for one!!!!!!
Then, of course you guys need to be ready for a million questions to help me build it.....I always relied on Sal's advice...... ;D ;D ;D
But seriously...Im IN!!!!
Brett
I never met Sal nor even communicated with him but being here during his life I feel like I knew him for a very long time and after reading almost all of his posts it has burned a memory in my soul.
A day hardly goes by that someone here does not mention him and I have personally learned so much from Reading his posts.
With that in mind and this worthwhile project to start I would like to submit something along these lines to Truly Honor and Remember this Great Friend TO All Who FISH .
I see no reason on this site and it's World Wide Presence that Hundreds of these would not be ordered paid in advance .
I know this will raise the price of Production but can you Really put a price on such a
WORTHWHILE PROJECT as this .
DEDICATED TO
SAL CIARLANTE (ALTO MARE)
A FRIEND TO ALL WHO FISH
MAY 31 1959 OCTOBER 9th 2020
or maybe
IN MEMORY OF
SAL CIARLANTE (ALTO MARE)
A FRIEND TO ALL WHO FISH
MAY 31 1959 OCTOBER 9th 2020
Each Reel Kit could have a pamphlet with stories and facts about Sal and his love of Fishing and building Reels with excerpts from the site he loved along these lines
THIS CUSTOM MADE REEL is dedicated to a Great Fishing and Reel Enthusiast who will be forever remembered as a Great Friend to anyone who knew him or ever read any of his posts on his home at Alantani.com
and continue with stories ,articles,things about Sal some pictures .
Great idea for a project Alan! You didn't mention what internals this magnum would use...is it 113H bridge/gears/drags?

Hi Mo,
It will use 113H's stuffs.
I'm in for one as well and like the name choice...
Hey Alan, will these be left side integrated frame like your PC Jiggy or will a separate frame be required?

My resource and I are still discussing about that. I will let you know
I love this idea, would love to see this with a traditional clicker assembly too.
Hi Alan, yes the bridge, sleeve and gears will be 113h, but eccentric and Jack will be jigmaster parts. The yoke will also be jigmaster yoke "punched out" to fit 113h pinion. The.small diameter sideplate has no room for a stock 113h jack and yoke
It would be great if the spools would also be usable in a PG 545, eh?

I will take care of that yoke.
Wow, a true franken-reel project; can't resist. AND a fitting tribute to Sal! Count on me for one, please /Joe

So in Essence as SVEN or OLEY would say.
THE YOKE'S ON YOU
Put me down for Two Too!
yay!! Im really interested in one too
Ooooh, what I wouldn't do for an extra wide Jiggy Magnum spool to go with my wide Tib. 808 frame. Not that there ain't stock reels to give me the same numbers already, it's just the uniqueness of it.
Heya boyos,
what's the status here? I've got some ideas for a similar project I'd like to discuss with pro challenger.

We are working on the sideplate design right now.
I only know Sal from his comments on this site. I'd be honored to sport one of these built in remembrance of him. Please put me down for one.

I have one of the PC 501 mag's from a few years ago with the one piece frame/tail-plate. Everything on it seems to line-up perfectly and it feels more solid than any 3 piece or post frame Jigmaster I've ever used.
Hi Alan, any progress on this project? I'd like to get on the waitlist if there is one.
I'm in for one Alan. Rudy
I'm your Huckleberry...
Cool
Hi Alan:
Any update on this project?, I'll vote for Alto Mare Magnum, count me in.
