Title: Tiburon Newell Drag Star Compatibility
Post by: jkel on May 12, 2019, 03:34:10 AM
Do these 200 - 300 series drag stars fit the JM500? The bridge sleeve is fine thread.

No, they won't fit a Jigmaster. The thread pitch is different.

The later 500's, and 505/506 used the 13-32 threads and will work with these stars.

The late 500 still uses a coarse thread. The older 500S with red plates & left side take down originally came with fine thread gear sleeves & stars.      Rudy

I'm interested in those since I have a green Tiburon spool and want a drag star to match.

i'll call a couple local shops that carry them and ask to make sure.

Thank you all for your replies.  ;D
