Title: Trying to find post on "Jigmaster with drag stack working both sides?"
Post by: kmstorm64 on April 19, 2019, 02:33:35 PM
There was a post of a someone who was building a reel that would use both sides of the drag (drag stack?) to get huge amounts of drag.  I want to say it was within the last year, and was on a  Penn Jigmaster?  I can't find the post right now, and was hoping some one could post the link if they are following it, any help is greatly appreciated.

Alan, that was one of them, but I thought there was another thread where the drag was going to be even higher than 30lb. I think it was something a long the same lines but instead of three drag discs it would of been with 5(?) I could be wrong, it wouldn't be the first time.

Maybe you mean these?

Keep in mind, the high numbers you see are usually for testing and not for fishing.
The jigmaster is rated at 17lb max from Penn, if you use all available custom options, you should be able to add 5-6 lb. with no issues.
These are good upgrades., but not for everyone.

I think between the two that was what I read.
