Sometimes the New Chinese reel pinion does not fit properly with Vintage Jigmaster even with changing the main at same time. There's a lot of slop with the meshing. If you have a vintage Jigmaster (I have 6😂) Use Vintage gears for, the vintage Jigmaster

Please unko bill, me and my dad loved watching you on live in insta. It was like a tradition

Hello unko bill this is my apology, I’m sorry for being a stupid kid and disrespecting you guys, I should have known better , I never ment to be a troll, I was just a kid who wanted to talk with the big game fishermen, my whole life I have been fishing and I wanted to get into something bigger, I wanted to have a connection like a big family, and if I rubbed you in a wrong way that is totally my fault, I have said hurtful words and thinking back at it now I want to be apart of the community, and not just post all the time for attention, I hope you have the time to read my apology and have the heart to forgive me, aloha and I’m sorry

Jigmasters are great reels. The 505HS was a SUPERB reel, except for one small sometimes significant mostly insignificant detail. Get to that in a sec. The 505 and 505HS had 5:1 gears and BALL BEARINGS. For surf casting, when you need that last 10 yards of distance to get out over that next bar, it's the ball bearings that make the difference, all other things equal. Oh, yeah, and the new model 500 ones are made in China. And the 505HS is no longer made and I might be wrong, but I don't think they ever made a 505HS with an aluminum spool, which is a necessity if you want to mag brake it. The downside to Penn's rank and file man in the street grade reels that have high gear ratios, is that the gears, having much smaller teeth, are not as strong. This is almost a mere theoretical fault, since I have never personally known anyone to have the bull gear (no worries on the pinion, it is stainless, and the bronze bull gear will self destruct long before the pinion gear) disintegrate. Maybe it has happened, maybe not. I am talking from a stress engineering standpoint. The main gear should be a LOT bigger so the teeth are the same modulus as the 3:1 gears. Of course the pinion will have to increase proportionally. If you think this could be a problem, then don't get a Jigmaster, especially a nice vintage 505HS. Otherwise, well, of course the 500 has journal bearings ("bushings") and not ball bearings. With their wide spool, and without all that levelwind frippery, they still cast pretty darn good. Plus they are affordable. Go ahead, make the perfect reel, and then try to sell it for a working man's daily wage. No can dooooooooo! But me, I like my Squidders and even my 209's and 309's and I even have some vintage no.9 reels but the Squidder is my favorite surf reel and I love to go after big bass in tangley water, or big catfish, with a no.9. Now your case of the 100-something pound Ulua, with 50lb test line, there's proof that the Jigmaster in real life isn't TOO delicate, I would say! BUT, that's 4:1 gears, not 5:1.

I tried slide with my 12ft Penn prevail paired with a Penn Spin Fisher V 9500 on live bait or frozen ika, tako..Caught like 3-4ft sharks & handle good size turtles & stingrays. Still no ulua. 😥

Ahhahaha

Will you be ordering any nitro seatechs back?

What reel would you pair with a 12ft MH tiralejo ?

Fishing is fishing plane and simple...support no hate 💯

To the 2 braddahs that caught those uluas. A catch is a catch. No matter how you put your line in the water. Casting, drone, paddle, boat, etc. Congratulations braddahs on your catch.

Aloha Bill, Ronnie’s Ulua was 143.6 , still looking for my pole bender. Congrats to the young boy.
