I've always wished for another option besides a full or half frame for our Penn reels. Welcome to the new era of options !!
I'll post more in a few hours. This is the all new custom seat on a 501, with Pro Challenger 501 spool Also have 99 width and standard 500 width. Stay tuned for more pics
EDIT: AS OF AUGUST 1 2022 THESE SEATS ARE NOW AVAILABLE VIA CortezConversions.com WEBSITE.
Exciting news, congrats!
I love it Ted! Awesome idea!
Beautiful craftsmanship!!
Wow Ted!
Andy
I love the clamp too!
Here you'll notice the cutout on jigmaster for the main gear, and the new seat that is designed to cover this to prevent water intrusion
Here is the 99 width seat with Cortez Conversions custom jigmaster side plates
....and a Cortez Jigmaster 500 width
......and 1 more Cortez 501 width, also with spool from Pro Challenger
These seats will also fit a multitude of conventional Penns. 49, 149, 1/0,lb65,66,67,squidder 140,145 146,surfmaster 100, 150,200, jigmaster 501,99,500. 180, 49a,209,309 and several more stock Penn reels
Here is one that might get attention of a few here. The born again seaboy 190. Sorry Mo, I couldn't help myself
These seats accept long screws, so toss those short seat screws aside and put in long screws for optimum performance
WOWZERS!!! :o :o
Those are killer reels!
I also have a limited amount of my 3 piece 113YTS frame kits.
Silver, black, and Red(clamp or spool not included. Tom H is your guy for clamps....Tiburon or Randy Pauly for the YTS spools).
It's been a couple years, but for now they are back. I never get tired of looking at these kits paired up with Cortez new style plates
Those look great Ted, they should fit 300 series Newell's too.
Looking good Ted - they've got a lot of possibilities.
Mike
Very good idea Ted, now we'll have many more options.
Having Tom involved machining these and you as a designer, I'm sure these will be better than expected.
Please put me down for a few sets of red-black and silver... if available.
I prefer squidder size.
If you have 145 size snd 146 I'll take those two sizes.
Thanks Ted, oh and thanks to Tom as well.
Sal
Will these work on the newell 200 size also ? I remember a few years back somebdy was fitting penn reel seats to some of the newell reels.
is anybody still making stainless steel bars? :-\

The 3 seat sizes are 49, 66, 500....this is the stamped number on stock Penn seat. I know zilch about Newell, but I'm betting Sheridan and a few others would know which seat fit some newell models

Not 100% sure, but I think that guy selling stainless posts on eBay is no longer doing them. I'm just using stock Penn frame posts. It would be nice for someone to make us a bunch
SS cross bars for the 500/501 were made by Black Pearl. I don't know what is still available. Rudy
The new seats will also fit a multitude of stock Penn reels
Here are just a couple examples. Long beach 66, and a 49
Should fit a 200 series I believe, lots of possibilities
Can't say enough about Ted's 4/0 kits. Something special. If you don't have one get one before they're gone
These are really cool Ted...can't wait to see what all is available and pricing. Great work! 8)
Looks great Ted. How do these compare to your previous seats? (mine are still packed)

Thanks Sheridan. I do have the Newell reel you sent me a while back and will see if a seat fits. Funny thing is I was putting a 113 kit together as you were posting. These 3 piece yts frame kits are the last of the mohicans. Machining, polishing, and anodizing all the separate pieces is too costly to make any more feasible. I had Tom make the yts seats for 22 sets of spacer bars that are from my previous machinist and been collecting dust for 2+ years. I have 7 kits of each color(red,silver,black), and once those are gone I have no plans to make more. The yts seat can also be used with regular frame posts (99 width) in place of the spacer bars
Colors are silver,black and red.
Just put this black Cortez yts together

Hi Steve, good question !!
These seats have the tongue built in. My previous yts seats had separate tongues. I believe these are better having the seat and tongue as one solid piece, other than that they are the same dimensions etc
Not sure about SS, but Chui (Pro Challenger) also has aluminum bars for squidder / 100- I have a set on my Sal Special 100 which will soon have a Maxed Out stand. They are very nice. Alan has also been great to deal with- calls me to check on my orders and chastise me for having his pretty reels sitting on a shelf instead of fishing. That's changing :)
Ted's been sending me pics of this sweet project the last few days- I'm looking over inventory to see what else will be needing these jools.....
John
Very busy, but still squeeze in time to build another Cortez jigmaster with the new seat. Still more to come !!
...and a standard 500 width cortez jigmaster. Stock jigmaster sideplates will also work great with the new seats
Back to Alan's question: as far as SS standard round posts, I think they are available stock from Mystic in the 99 width as they are used on new- manufacture 209's, which uses -66 width stand. I built a 99 thusly a couple months back with the new parts.
Wow, thanks for the eye candy!!!
My testing phase is over now and I'm doubtful anyone will be disappointed with the new seats. I have very limited number of each size and color pictured. First come first served. The 501 seat is $42, the 99 width seat is $44, and 500 width is $46. add $4 shipping inside the USA. International shipping will be additional cost. Colors are black, red, and silver. These seats do not come with rod clamps. Tom H at Cortez Conversions is making us matching color rod clamps and should be available in next few weeks. Please keep in mind that my custom parts addiction is just a hobby and I'll be happy to break even on these. Also note that all my parts are USA made, polished, and anodized. This supports our local communities and economies. The 113yts kits (top left, and top right) will be on a separate thread
PM if interested
Thanks, Ted
Ted,
Your custom parts addiction sure results in some gorgeous parts! :o
I'm saving up for one of those YTS kits! ;D
Fantastic looking parts Ted! I want a 501 silver seat. Not sure exactly what I'll do with it yet...but I have some visions boiling up...HA!
FYI for anyone on "the fence". Very limited amount of each color and width. Several have been sold, and still have all sizes and colors available for the time being.
I received my sets today, thank you Ted and thanks to Tom as well you both never disappoint.
I did not realize these are like the accurate, having the tongue machined from one piece...very nice touch Tom.
I don't want to tell you what to do, but after seeing these, you should start making them for all available reels.
I didn't get much time to assemble reels today, I did just one so far, but will post when I get the other kits done.
Here is one of the best looking Surfmaster100, pics don't do it justice, black is not easy to show:

Beautiful reel, Sal!!!
Wow Sal, that's a beautiful reel. Love that knob and Adams blade too. Forgot to mention, these narrow seats are set up for standard width clamp thanks to Tom
Thanks for posting. Hope you are feeling better
Ted
Sorry if this is a silly question, but do the 99 width seats have the extra hole for the Silverbeach? Wouldn't be a deal-breaker, for me. I like a 99 width in black.

If it did have the extra middle hole it still wouldn't fit a silver beach cause different screw pattern. The new seats only fit 2 screw applications. You can build a faster/stronger silver beach 99 by just doing a black sideplates jigmaster in 99 width. I do have the seat for that
I built mine out similar to Sal's, except I have Sal handle mine, and Sal gave me the spool :)
He is correct, pics don't really show how nice these are- match the Black Pearl's black spacers perfectly. I'm going to sand a few thous off some SS Philips head 5-40 1/2" I have to use in the quick change ring- the stock screws, while they have caught millions of fish with stock stands, don't seat very deeply, and Ted has given us a platform to really tighten it up. As advertised the seat also covers gear set. I'm really happy and have it on a stick going fishing tomorrow!
Look at that Ted...Sal beat me to the Surfy 100! Looks killer Sal, I have one in the works, stay tuned. 8)
The new seats are not just for full customized reels. They are also a nice upgrade for many stock Penn models, like Sal's surfmaster.
This used to be a long beach 65, now it's a long "beast" 65 ;D ;D
Beautiful Ted, the 65 is another great reel... even better with your upgrades.
The possibilities are endless with these parts.
Good job Ted!
Sal
And here is another assembled reel, using Ted's custom seat on Tom's plates. this one is a 501 Jigmaster:

Beautiful products and reels! Those look amazing!
Andy
Yowza, very nicely done Sal. Thank you for posting your build
Now that's sexy Sal!
Here are a couple using stock black jigmaster side plates. These can be done on a low budget platform
501 & 99 width
How about a 259 jiggy 500. Well done !!!
Nice 259 Anthony. Thanks for posting
Here is the silver seat on a Cortez black and silver 501
The huge advantage the new seats have over the stock Penn seat is the ability to have much longer screws holding the seat, which is where most twisting occurs under a load. Here is an example: A Seaboy 190 with the old seat and stock short screws, and the extra long screws that I used to replace them.
Now... back to more options. The Seaboy 190 is "99" width. Swap over to 500 width seat and 3/0 spool and result is its an extra wide Seaboy. These new seats fit Surfmaster, Baymaster, Jigmaster, Squidder, and many other conventional Penns
Stock jigmaster 500

I'm working on a Surfmaster project, and I've already procured some longer screws to use with Ted's stand. The short screws in the pic below are stock...huge difference. What a fantastic piece Ted, the anodizing is perfect, looks nice and deep. 8)
One more with the same stock jiggy plates. A 99 width using stock chrome spool.

The new seats are going steady
About half sold so far. Here is my remaining inventory(minus 2 red 501)
501 on left, 99 middle, and 500 on right
I'm certain the new seats will fit many reels that have yet to be determined. Here is a Newell G332-F with a new 99 seat
That went coast to coast quick! Last night it was in my mailbox when I got home. I've been holding it like a good-luck charm ever since. Beautiful design!
Quote from: Decker on February 28, 2020, 02:46:56 PM

Agreed...the machining and anodizing are second to none!
UPDATE: THE "BLACK" 501 SEATS ARE SOLD OUT. STILL HAVE A COUPLE RED AND SILVER
ALL COLORS STILL AVAILABLE IN 99 AND 500 WIDTH
Here's a Maxed Out seat on my 49A build.
(https://i.imgur.com/QxOZijy.jpg)
This reel is a tank now!
That's awesome, Chad, looking stout my man!
Ted's trio, redux: 501, 99, 500 width seats from my man Ted- along with assorted other maxed out bling from him.
-506HS, 500S and my fav FrankenPenn- the 5009912259MaxedOutLongBeachJigLiveBaitMasterCaster
Pics don't do justice- these are the reel deal- beefy and great anodizing, my SS clamp hardware setups. I put them on builds with double ringed tail plate and solid bars so now the whole thing is beefy. Especially if you have builds with solid Newell bars, these tip the scale.
John
Fantastic reels John! I like Chad's 49A too! 8)
Thanks Mike! One of these years I will pursue a 49A. I love a good oddball, being one myself.
Those look reel solid, makes it hard to not start up another project
Dear John, we regret to inform you that the board of directors is issuing a mandatory recall of the new seats. Do not attempt to remove the seat to send back or this could cause mental anguish. Just ship all 3 reels back for a 25% refund. The new seats have been found to be responsible for a new "seat-reel virus 50199500" that has no known cure. Continued use of seat may also require reattachment of your lower jaw from time to time. Thanks
Lol. not happening. I'll deal with it :)
Awesome set of reels John! :o
Works for these also
Those are some sweet Mag 10s! 8)
Very nice pair of Mag 10's Randy. The matching star is a nice touch !!
I'm still playing the shuffle game with the new seats. Trying some mix and match
can't go fishing, so plenty of time to fart around with the new seats.

Seats work great on Newell's, nice upgrade!

Oh, those Mag 10's! :o The spacers for the base make it all possible.
To me the small reels are where it's at. A Mag 10 holds more than enough braid for inshore bottom fishing (East Coast,) and makes a nice surf-caster. This is why the Squidder Magnum is the holy grail. I've never seen one, but if you can put Jigmaster gears in it (up to 5:1 retrieve) then you have a vintage reel that can do anything.
That red Newell is sweet Sheridan!!
It's a 322, the 501 base is a perfect fit!

Thanks for making them Ted. There is something about red that looks good on a fishing reel. I've had some other colored Newells that I sold, can't part with the red ones.
Ted, you need to see what you could do for us. Your seats are one of the best upgrade for these reels.
Of course besides red, purple-blue and black would also be nice.

Sal, where did you get the blades and handles for your newell's they look great?
Thanks Peter
Peter, if you mean the polished aluminum, those come with the colored Newell.
Sal
Inspired by Sal's gems, I added Pro Challenger star and spacer bars. Thanks to Alan C for those finishing touches
Ted, that's one sharp looking Jigmaster, the standard looks even better than the narrow.
Must be the 3 holes vs 2
Very nice!
Sal
The bars are a nice addition, along with the new stars. I did the same upgrade to the silver 500. I like 'em both
Ted,
Those jiggys are gorgeous!!
those two are crap. I will take them off your hands since you are my boy. I have a pair of shakespeare levelwind graphites missing emblems and levelwind assembly I will send you as good will. you have my address.
I scrounged around the parts bins and came up with enough to build a standard size jiggy. Had a nice new PC package to put inside too. Thanks for making the stands Ted, same to everyone who for making all these upgrades!

That's a sweet build Sheridan!
Those are some great parts to have laying around ;D
Still just a few more new seats left.
Remaining stock will be $40/seat and free USA shipping
Please see the whole thread from page one for a few of the hundred possibilities these seats have.
Happy holidays to all
-Ted
what you got left? I've got to check you for the 99 blue one; may add to it :)
Here's one of Ted's bases on a squidder. The new Cortez conversion plates only have a whole for one bar which actually works out pretty good for going this route, I'm sure it's plenty strong. This is a nice stout little reel, the clamp is handy as a hook keeper too
Wow Sheridan, you really created a brand new style squidder. Me likey
...here is my remaining stock
The 99 width jigmaster is my favorite for live bait albacore. Couldn't resist building one in each color. The go to guy for these colored 99 spools is Randy Pauly (Vintage Offshore Tackle).
Ted
I am impressed Ted.
Hi Ted PM sent.

The huge advantage of the new seat is the ability to use much longer screws.
For those that are using stock jigmaster,squidder,or surfmaster sideplates with this new seat, here is what I do.
The quick take apart side uses tapered flathead to sit flush in the ring and not bind the quick take apart feature. I use a long screw from a 113H and file the head down slightly.
On the taiplate side I also use longer screws to secure the seat. These are standard screws found on most conventional Penns. Notice the difference in length from the stock seat screw.
This is like the worlds easiest upgrade. If I can do it, anyone can. Still looks stock at a glance
I'll take the 501 in silver if you still have it.
They fit several different size Newell's too
UPDATE: New seats are sold out !! Thanks to the Ohana !!
These have only been offered here on this forum and my hope is that Tom H (Cortez Conversions) will offer these in the near future.
Thanks to the Ohana for your support and also a HUGE shout-out to Cortez Converstions for making our dreams become a reality.

This how I used one of Teds reels seat just for fun. His 2/0 seats fit many reels . I really like his handle assemblies.
Teds handle arms mate up nice with Alan's knob too. I placed a few AT knobs on Teds arms how sexy they both are.
oops wrong picture. Its with Alan's arm.
I'm late to the party >:(
These look great and I love the one piece design. I'd be in for a few if and when you do another run of these. They're just what I'm looking for.
I still have a few in 99 seats and 500 seats in stock
I also have 1 black 113h yts kit in stock (tiburon spool and custom handle included)
Ted
OK,
The Int 12 is just unbelievably cool. I'm kinda Gobsmacked.

Here's a sweet 309 with Ted's seat and handle...I'll let the master take it from here...8)
(https://alantani.com/gallery/36/16048_15_01_22_9_46_08.jpeg)
Ohh, That is an absolute Ripper, right there Mo...
Thanks for sharing...
Col
Thank you Mo for the picture. The 309 is often overlooked and under appreciated. It's basically a jigmaster 99 with a levelwind. The body of the spool is a 112h(different shaft), and the main gear is a 500 with a lb60 pinion for 3/1 ratio. A very strong capable reel that never gets the attention it deserves. Mo has done a nice tutorial on the 309, and he also fishes them.
-Ted
309 has caught more leadcore stripers in my lake than all other reels combined. Not just me, I mean ever. Perfectly holds a full spool of 36lb lead core plus 30 yards of mono.
When I was a kid every old fart on the river had a few crusty 309s...that reel has caught billions of fish. Whether you like levelwinds or not, you can't deny the success of Penn Peer series. 8)
Trolling leadcore: 309
Downrigger: 209 or 210
Live shad: 9 and mag 10.
I prolly have 50 Peers. More, counting the Mags and those missing LW's I keep for parts. They are still the standard on my lake. Most durable thing going at their retail for what they do, and until recently easy enough to find used stuff under $30 bucks, for which there was no equal. I have switched off to 330 GTI on leadcore but that's a functiuon of the bigger levelwind guide for knot to pass through. If I get off my can and start serve splicing like I should, I'll go back to 309. Smaller profile, plenty of drag.
I'm looking for the handle arms and shift levers. Mystic only has blue & green shift levers left. Any chance the other colors will be available anytime soon? Or available from someone else here?
Tom is your guy
CortezConversions.com
Look in "custom Penn parts" for shift levers, and "custom parts" for blades. He also has really nice knobs to go on the blades.
If you're looking for "maxed out" style shift levers, Tom has a section for those also.
I also have blades with the bft engraved.
Awesome! Thank You!
Ted did you ever have space bars made an anodized in red to match your 501 reel seats? I'm looking for a pair
I never got around to doing jigmaster spacer bars, but I believe Tom at Cortez is currently in the process of making spacer bars. I'm patiently waiting also !!
Well, not sure if this is the right place to ask? But you can't find out, if you don't ask somewhere, right? Lol!
So, I'll give this a little bumpsy!
Everywhere I turn, looking for some info on upgrades, it seems to be Maxed Out lol!
I see some stands and other parts being in this thread, are they still available? or possibly, become available in the future?
Thanks kindly

Hey, thanks for replying so quickly Ted!
I'll be completely upfront with you I don't know a lot about these kits or upgrades!
I just acquired a 146Land a 140L, both in super nice shape!
Kind of hard not to notice all these beautiful kits!
And then, I see side plates by themselves
as well!
I thought I saw a blue 146 kit on here but now I can't find it!
So it looks like you can actually go with sideplates, stands and bars or go with some type of kit, for some of these reels!
I guess depending on availability?
As I said, I don't know all the ins and outs yet lol!

I'll go thru my stuff and post up the parts I have stashed away. Also that magnum 4/0. My memory ain't what it once was, so hang in there and I'll get back atcha
Well, I found the 4/0 magnum. It does show some light use, but overall very clean. More common to find all black, but this one is all red. Notice the bulge for the larger gear set
Couple more magnum pics
I could only find 1 kit, and it's for a jigmaster 500 or 500S
.....but the seat,posts and handle also fits a squidder 140.
Also have a black seat and handle combo
The heavier handle is Probly not the best option if you're going to be doing a lot of casting

Does that red spool also fit the 140?

I wish it did. It only fits jigmaster 500

This is a very nice looking reel though!
Looks pretty big, I guess 4/0 would mean same size as a senator 4/0?
Is this one for sale as well?

OK, may I inquire how much you are asking!
Nice reel Ted, be hard pressed to find another one
I have some of Ted's parts, you won't be disappointed

I see Berinson recently sold a well used one for $599. I'm not going there
How bout $415 and free priority shipping, and I'll toss in a red blade with a Cortez knob (3/0 or 5/0, your choice)
I was doing a little research on this!
Although it is absolutely beautiful and built like a tank, I think it's just overkill, for what I'll be doing!
I do fish for sharks in the surf, but do truly believe this belongs on a boat!
I only get out on a boat to use something like this once or twice a year, if I'm lucky enough too!
I also noticed that some others here are very interested in this, and probably deserve to have a chance at it before me!
I didn't realize this is the Magnum that everybody's been talking about lol!
I really do appreciate, you taking the time to respond to me and will probably kick myself later, but I am going to have to respectfully decline!
I'm sure it will not be sitting here long at all!
Thank you again for your time, sir!

Any chance you have any of the 99 seats left?

I have 1 red 99 width seat. Tom at CortezConversions does have black seats available and will likely have other colors available soon
How much you asking for it?

My apologies for delayed reply....it's a very short 2 week salmon season right now
$40+$5 shipping
No worries. catch em up. Ill decide on the stand when I get home next week.
The stands are a sweet upgrade; I prolly have a dozen at least. They also lower the reel on the rod besides being stronger and looking really cool. 99 width spacer bars, Camo grips and red and black blades also from Ted; as well as the hard-to find Motive Fab SS blade. Red is 500S; Left is 506 conversion, right is the 12590099 Livebaitsurfjigmasterlongbeachcaster. I don't even recall what all I put in that reel...it's like Johnny Cash's One piece at a time....

Ahhhhh, there's those beautiful, comfy looking, foam handles again!
Very nice John!
Who did you say, makes these awesome knobs/handles?
Ted.

Duh, I totally missed it lol!
Think I was mesmerized by the handles lol!
I really gotta start wearing my glasses lol!
Thanks again brother!
Ted,
Do you have any bases left for the 4/0 senators??
Thanks,
Eugene
Hello Eugene, I have a couple jigmaster seats, but no 113h seats. I'm hoping Tom will make some in the near future
Ted
Thanks Ted,
Eugene
