Nice build Jeremy, load it up with some 40lb spectra and your set. Tight lines to you!

   I went hog wild on this one, using a silver Tib frame/spool kit and Tom's CC green plates. Everything inside is new stainless steel, except the stock eccentric cam and the vintage stock Moly steel main gear. The handle and bridge are Pro Challenger fare, and the drags are Bryan Young's 5-stack kit. I had to shorten one dog to get simultaneous dog action, since this bridge is designed for an 8 tooth sleeve, and all currently available steel sleeves are 10 tooth.
   This is one Jigmaster that I have no fear about maxing out the 5-stack drag.8)

You must have a small fortune in reels by now Mo.  I like the green.  It reminds me every time I see one of these builds that we have Tom making amazing precision parts for us.

Jeremy, I lost track of this thread but your reel is a looker.  I hope you are using it.  I used mine for rockfishing and it worked great. 
P.S.  I have been using the Pro Gear stars on everything for years and have never stripped one.  You just have to avoid ham handing them.
I woke today and suddenly nothing happened.

   Actually, most of my builds are budget minded. By using mostly stock parts...and performing the mods the "old" way(cutting and grinding)...many of my customs didn't break the bank. Now this reel is a different story. Like John Hammond..."I spared no expense!" ;D
   Thanks for the compliments folks! 8)

I got my kit last week and waiting for parts to come in to make the build. 👍 Thanks Randy for making these builds possible...Bill
It may not be very productive,
but it's sure going to be interesting!

Thanks a million for all of your business Bill.  I love doing these special projects, but I would never have the guts to belly up to the bar without the support that you and the rest of the Alantani.com family have given me.

Merry Christmas!

   Hey folks...just a "heads up" here...if you have large hands you might want to avoid using an offset handle on these XN kits. As you can see...it comes very close to your knuckles! I'll prolly be alright...we have band aids on the boat. ;D

MO!!!

If my Dad were standing next to me, and watched how close the handle comes close to your fingers,

he would say, "SON!, If you know that happens each turn, GET YOUR FINGERS OUT OF THE WAY!"

He was a practical man.

I just turned the handle other way round .
