I bought a green Tib frame and handle last year to build out a CC green Jiggy, but the colors were off. I was highly anticipating that particular one and maybe that's why I never really liked this reel I built out of leftover parts, UNTIL I got some sweet swag lever and clamp from our man Ted that sets it off.
Nice Swag! ;)
Fine job on the twotone Jiggy. I like it.
Very happy the green tib clamp found the perfect home and I think you made great choice to use the silver with the green.....super sexy
Very nice John!
I'm a fan of the 2 tone reels and/or mixed colors. Of course I'm also a fan of solid colors too. Actually, I like them all! ;D

Spent a few hours yesterday installing Ted sawg and dammit didn't take a pic of the red Jiggy arm completing the Cherry Bomb 501 CC. When I get back it I will get one.
An Irish Jig!
Nice work!!
I got that same color combo in the new T4N1 to build, actually two, since the green colors didn't match up I got a silver and green kit and a silver and green set of CC plates.
Wow! It looks like there are going to be a lot of shelf queens. :D Dominick

Shelf Queens aren't allowed brother ;)....Gotta fish that beauty...Bill
Wow! I love that Tiburon handle with the logo on it...are the colored handles hard to get? I thought they only came in black. Sweet reel John.
Awesome jigmaster build John! What's it got going on inside?
That is a beauty! I might need to start treasure hunting for an electric blue tib blade.... I have a whole lifetime to find one
I like the colors, you did good, ;) and if we could beg of you where did you get the Tib handle? I love the rubbergrip when its cold. Nice work. Ill be waiting to get a couple. Thanks. gst.
Nick, Ted had some electric blue in the works that should match CC plates way better than Tib blue. They are sweet!
Gary, I believe I bought that handle and frame straight from Tib. The original Area Rule T-bar handles are probably the most heavy duty thing I've ever seen, as discussed with Sal and Dan over a five hour Light meal at Sal's last night. I have one on 16/0 and 9/0 (that handle from Dan). The current iterations, which ate licensures and a bit lighter duty, do feel good in hand as you indicate. I heeled my 14/0 with one as well.
For basically the same money I think Alan's handle is stronger in the arm.
