Title: Double dog Jigmaster?
Post by: Phinaddict on January 06, 2011, 02:43:52 AM
Just noticed than the sideplate on Jigmasters look to be formed with the ability
to hold a dog on either side of the gear sleeve. Has anyone tried to attach a second dog to the
bridge?  I was thinking you could set them so that the timing was "one up and one down" to minimize
handle play. And boy would it sound cool.....

Comments anyone?

Really?  I gotta take my friend's reel apart.  He's a lefty and this would help him a lot.

but then you need a left handed gear set and sleeve.  i just shipped out the last three left handed gear sleeves to southern california.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that.  Maybe he can use it in reverse like many do with using spinners upside down and winching backwards.  LOL.

Don't laugh, I've seen people use a conventional upside down and winching backwards  :o
