Title: P21XN
Post by: Fishy247 on November 29, 2018, 10:40:58 PM
So I'm finally getting around to posting some pics of the extra narrow Jiggy that I built for my girlfriend...
Cobalt blue P21XN Tiburon frame from Randy
Ice blue plates from Tom
Rainbow anodized titanium handle and star from Broadway
Very cool stuff!

I can't forget the SS gear sleeve from Mystic parts...(learned quickly that stock sleeves are COARSE thread...lol)

She thinks it's perfect the way it is, but I'd kinda like to find a smaller handle knob for it and possibly upgrade some more of the internals to SS in the future...

Thanks for looking!
Mike

You should contact Lou or Sal and get one of their acrylic handle bars or knobs!!!!!!

Came out great, the handle blade and star set off the blue nicely.

Look great Mike, with all dew respects to the handle makers, I would stay with the larger handle, thanks for showing it, cheers Don.

Thanks for the kind words gentlemen! She got to break it in on a 2 1/2 day back in September. That was before I added Tom's plates and Dom's handle and star. I'll make sure she brings it on the anniversary trip and breaks in the new plates and handle.

Here's how she broke it in with the stock plates....

Nice pics Mike, I could see why you're upgrading her gear...well deserving :).
That reel looks sweet, Broadway's kit really sets it off.

best,

Sal

Thanks Sal, I couldn't agree more!

Mike

BTW, that was just the first day, and doesn't show the 12#er that squirmed its way through the scupper!

Very nice reel Mike! And that's a happy lady for sure.

2 tone blue works out great,  ..  Lou
