Pro Gear 545 Sale

[Maxed Out]

 A barely used PG545 with new and improved knob. This one does have a clicker. For those that aren't savvy about the older PG reels, this 545 is the same exact size as a Jigmaster 501, but it has 113H Bridge, sleeve, gears & drags. Also a 113H spool shaft. The frame is made from one solid piece of aluminum. The headplate is countersunk into the frame and only requires 2 screws. The jack is a jigmaster part, the yoke is a punched out jigmaster yoke, and Bryan Young is the supplier for those. This reel recently made a trip to Hawaii to go yak fishing with the "G' man (Gregg). He filled it with new 65# spectra and also serviced the reel. I just finished upgrading the knob, and now it's ready for a new lease on life.

$170 shipped to anywhere in the USA

I'm going to start calling you Crazy Ted.  No way I'm selling mine for that, lol.


EDIT:  Not meant in a derogatory mode.  Ted is awesome to anyone familiar with him.  Just a crazy good deal.

By no means am I wanting to devalue anyone else's reels. These 1st gen Pro Gear reels are way undervalued in todays market. If these same reels were modern made, they would retail for $400+. The 545 & 541 also came with custom 4/1 gears made by Pro Gear. I've never felt a smoother set of gears as these. Selling here to the Ohana means no selling fee. eBay/paypal takes 15% right off the top. I subtract that 15% because no seller fees here.

 Just in case anyone is interested, here's a couple Pro gear 541's (jigmaster 500 magnums). These are "no clicker" models. Silver reel is minus the clamp, but a standard 113H clamp fits, or Cortez clamp. The silver reel also has Adam blade and star, and new foam knob

The black one has new blade with Alan's 3/0 knob. Both reels have custom shift lever. The black one is filled with fresh 65# spectra. The silver one is 30# big game mono

black reel looks new, used twice. The silver shows some use. I used it for downrigger salmon fishing over 2 summers. The black foam knob is new. Functions are smooth as silk....$160 each

EDIT: black 541 sold
           Silver 541 sold

 With the upgrades, these  reels should be selling for $200+, but recovering investment in a reel isn't always in the cards.
