Before Bryan passed, I was inquiring about buying one of his Jigmaster's. Well that never worked out. When he passed, I reached out to Alan to keep his eye out for one as he and the guys went through his gear.
Alan found me this one and I love it!
I haven't opened it up yet, but it has a Tiburon frame, aluminum spool, Accurate side plates, and a Pro Gear handle.
The red drag star is a nice touch too.
Alan spooled it up with 65-pound braid and a 30-pound mono top shot.
Can't wait to use it.

Nice reel to a good home.
Looks like a perfect 30 flyline reel for the July 3 day!
Has/had some rare stainless Accurate gears in it too
Really nice looking reel, will make a great flyline reel!
That reel was gorgeous, as was most of his gear I sorted through. Glad it went to a good home. Bill

That is one sweet looking reel. I can't wait to see what you do with it!
I have one. Heavy sucker. A 4/0 crammed down to a 3/0 size reel. A good compact heavy hitter because of the narrowness and strength of braided line.
nice reel Steve, take care of it and it will take care of your fish.
I gave Bryan that reel in 2012 +/-. It had new set of the Accurate hi-speed gears in it. It reminded me of some of the BMX bikes I pieced together as a kid, mixed/matched parts but all quality stuff that I was very proud to ride.
