Erik, did you teach Mel how to get Mama to pay for his fishing equipment? ;D
Teach me next, please!
Hope you're still slaying those yellowfin, feeling better, and cracking the whip on Ben. ;)

Hey guys,

   Finally got all my parts together and can start upgrading my reels.  First reel done was my 501. Upgrades were A Tiburon frame, Alan C's SS package "A", Bryan's 5 stack drag kit, Alan T's SS gear sleeve, a 5:1 SS gear set from Global (until Alan comes out with his), and a 24-56 handle from Scott's. 
   Everything went together well and the parts looked great.  No problems with the dog springs or the jack that I could notice.  Dogs are pretty quiet (My Trinidad dog upgrades make a lot more noise.  The gears are a little rough but not horrible.  Alan T's gear sleeve really makes a nice snug fit for the handle which I like.  Didn't do any max drag test as I don't intend to fish super heavy drag and I just want the smoothness.
    I just want to thank everybody mentioned above as everybody made ordering parts easy and shipping was prompt.  USPS on the other hand could use a little help as they were slow processing some of my packages. (at least they didn't lose them).  And also thanks to all the members who contribute their knowledge and experience to this site.  It helps guys like me to "tinker" with fewer mishaps.   ;)

Hi Street,

I think you should move those dog springs up more. They should be inside the tab.

Thanks Alan,

I did move them up that was just the first pic I took before putting things together. 

                          Thanks again,

That is great.

Enjoy your new upgraded Jigmaster!!!!

That should be an awesome fishing reel and very strong. Looking forward to a test report.

Actually, Sal did the stress test on this parts while he was testing on the 5:1 gear set (with the heat treated pinion gear) testing.

Here are some shots, as Alan mentioned above


and breaking the reels down to check the gears

these handled 22lbs

and the 112H

here is a shot of the damaged gears from the 112H

the 112H failed at around 16lbs

My take on this is that these jigmaster gears could handle 20lb, but I would use the new spacer and Bryan's kit, that one was smoother. I'm still not sure what's causing these gears to fail in the 112H at 16 lbs, we will need to wait and see what Alan's people come up with, I believe they're already working on them.

I would like to see a red snapper test report.  ;D

I am pretty sure that we will have that report soon or later.... :)

Alto Mare

This was a tough test, not like pulling the line. I was pulling 32 to 34 bricks just by turning the handle, each brick is around 6lbs and the wagon is 25lbs. if any of you will try it, you will see that its not easy.
That little reel, the new black pearl bridge and gears did very good. The only problem I had was with the "T" handle knob, it was digging in the palm of my hand. Little by little all of my reels will have round  knobs, even the large ones, the round knob always feels better.
Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.

Hope you get a free weekend to come down and have some fun on the boat and drag some of the big snappers over the rail.

Ron you are right . Every time I go on a planned trip my best rod and reel ,handmade tackle etc I seem to take the skunk along. When I go on  a moments notice just rod and reel and buy everything on the fly tackle ,bait etc  I do very well . Right now the weather is not good so I will have to wait   Doug
