A couple of builds for a friend ...

[Alto Mare]

A custom 6/0:

This reel has been customized with Plates from Cortez Conversions
Frame and spool from Vintage Offshore Tackle
Hex 3.25:1 custom ss gear set, star and handle from ProChallenger


My hat is off to you guys, parts from 4 different sources and yet all working to perfection...love it!


Get yourself this tool on line for a couple of dollars, trust me it will make the job of installing the E-clip much easier

And the finished reel working to perfection





Standard size Red Jigmaster:

Plates and stand from Cortez Conversions, nice job on that new stand Tom, but I'm not surprised.
5:1 heat treated gears,DD Bridge, 10 tooth gear sleeve, star& arm from PoChallenger...knob might be Accurate, not sure

And of course the eccentric lever from Maxed Out

This Jiggie is working extremely smooth, but I'll let my buddy be the judge.



While I'm here I want to mention that after looking at things a little closer, I'm not sure how Tom is able to give us such a good price on his plates

This 9/0 kit, besides the plate it has approximately $100 worth of parts on the right side

Don't know how you do it Tom, with the milling, anodizing and everything else.
Can't speak for everyone else, but I sure appreciate getting top notch kits at that price... Thank you!

Enjoy everyone!

Nice work Sal, it's great to see so many of the custom parts available to us now in one post. It doesn't seem all that long ago you were experimenting with double dogs on the Tank - thanks for sticking with it, and thanks Tom and PC for making many of these parts available.
