Title: Penn Jigmaster 505 Gears in Jigmaster 500?
Post by: CFish on February 24, 2020, 04:13:06 AM

I am looking to speed up a Jigmaster 500 by replacing the stock 4-1 gear set with the 5-1 gear set from a beat up 505 I have laying around. Are there any issues with just swapping everything out? Completely compatible? Any drawbacks to doing this?

Thanks

I don't think so, that's why Black Pearl produced 5 to 1 gear sets for 500 & 501 Jigmasters. I suggest getting a nicer set of plates for your 505. Rudy
