Reel Repair by Alan Tani

Yesterday I got a chance to troll for the wild king salmon of southeast alaska.  I usually use mooching reels but wanted to catch a few more fish on my reworked Jigmaster and got the chance.

The reel is a double dogged with stainless gearsleeve, and my own Hex gear with carbon fiber washers shown in my earlier jigmaster posts. Soo lets see what happens ok?


Ya it was fun on the little reel,  and finally got it in the net.   So we are a happy camper!

With a little luck and another day outdoors,  I had fun, the jigmaster worked great, we got some dinners, and something for the smoker too. 

Really cool pics

Beautiful pics Gary, always nice to see the Jigmaster in action.

Gary does it again.  Terrific.  Keep up the good work.  Dominick

Nice pics!  You live in a truly beautiful place. 

Nice, Gary ---

Thanks again for sharing your wonderful lifestyle --

Those little Jig-Masters are the reel that won the west -- IMO.

So versatile -- and so capable either as stock or upgraded.

Best,

Fred

Great report Gary!

Looks like your're trolling with braid??

What's your leader length & test?

Thanks...

Steve

Nice going but a Salmon doesn't really put a souped up 501 to the test!

Nice Chinook. I really miss catching them and eating those yummy fish. I would like to fill up the smoker with some Coho too.
