Jig master frames?

[vilters]

have quite a few newells and penns w/ newell frames. and i am a big fan of newell products. as far as the reel base/foot goes, i strongly prefer aluminum over graphite. i've seen a few with either cracked bases, or broken off reel foot. nothing wrong with the og penn parts either, i've not seen any failures other than bent reel foot. i will say that i feel either solid penn or newell spacer bars make for a stronger frame over individual style frame posts.
