I'm rebuilding a squidder Magnum I've had put away for years and thought I had all the stainless parts ready to go. I forgot it does not take the jigmaster yoke or eccentric jack plate. The yoke is a 12-55 and the jack plate is an 11-200. I actually need two of the jack plates, it's the same as in my pro gear 255. Here is a comparison picture. Anybody have these in stainless or know where I can find em?
UPDATE. So I had spare time on my hands and looked. Seems the Penn 209m uses the 12-55 yoke in stainless and the 11-155 eccentric jack plate in stainless. Not the same part number as what's in there (11-200) but nearly identical. Works without mods. So now this reel is all stainless internally. Next is my Pro-Gear 255 which I believe needs the same jack plate.
Thanks for the information....Always good to know this kind of stuff :D Bill
Are you gonna run 5:1 gears?
Awesome little reel that.

Yes Ron a set of BP gears and a 5 stack. Why not turn a $40 reel into a $300 reel, it's only money.
I bought a beautiful gold Squidder magnum from Randy not too long ago, and just opened it up.
It has stock jigmaster bridge and gears. I do believe it's time to put some more money on the insides of this sweet little reel.
its an awesome little reel that can easily be fished with 15lbs of drag.
