While going through my stash of JigMasters, I re-discovered these two 500's. Internally they are identical, with plastic spool, steel gears, chromed bridge, yoke and eccentric. I did notice the plug on one is turned almost 90 degrees from the other and has a plain tail plate. Would anyone have an idea which would be older? Thank you. Bill
:o That is cool Bill! Wonder if it is a factory "oops"? Those reels look great. - john
I'm thinking the plain tailplate is older, I have a first year jigmaster with the sticker that has a plain tailplate like that
Hi Bill,
Same here - I also have an early 'Jig-master' stickered reel with a plain tailplate. My other Jiggy's all have writing on the tailplate.
Hope that helps.
Cheers
Martin
Thank you for the replies....this was the way I was leaning, based on the plain tail plate. Bill
