Exellent Mo.
Still somea the best pictures on this site.
Never thought a that; with the Tiburon frame you can increase the strength by using longer screws, especially on the bottom.
Fishing tackle is an art form and all fish caught on the right tackle are"Gfish"!

Nice 500S rebuild. Can't wait to see your build with the 26 plates.

Mo, that was a work of art.  Terrific.  Dominick
Leave the gun.  Take the cannolis.

There are two things I don't like about fishing.  Getting up early in the morning and boats.  The rest of it is fun.

Hey Wai,
   You must have missed the 26 posting...I made it back in March! The reel turned out very nice. Cranks super smooth and casts fantastic! 8)

Yep! Totally missed it. Was totally distracted by some financial matters that needed attention as the pandemic started hitting SoCal.

Base on my experience with 50lb hollow core on the 27, you may be able to get 300+ yds of 50lb hollow core on your 500S XN...plenty for the Dodos, YT, schoolie YFT and BFT in the SoCal fishery if you have plans to come out here for multi-day trips.

Well done sir, it looks amazing!!

I'm a sucker for the 500S and narrow spools and you combined them.

I don't know why I never thought of that but I know what I'm gonna do next.

Go ahead and take my money Mo!  Beautiful build, well thought out and executed.  Bill
It may not be very productive,
but it's sure going to be interesting!

   Thanks guys! I think the S model plates are the best designed of the various Jiggy plates. I like the way they moved the quick-take-apart feature to the tail plate. That removes the possibility of the head plate "popping off" while cranking hard. 8)

 Only major difference with the 500s is the sideplates are made of Lexan and there must have been some issues with the material because Penn stopped using Lexan sideplates for jigmasters after a few short years
