New custom seats for jigmaster, squidder, surfmaster, etc

[thorhammer]

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).

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.

[Swami805]

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.

Yes, but that last seat comes as a kit with a red PC spool and stock 501 spacer bars. $80 if you're interested
