penn 500 to 501 coversion

figured this would a fun little project before the cuda's show up, (and hopefully a YT while im at it)
I had a stock jigmaster, about 6 or 7 years old, and wanted to narrow it, but without spending a bunch of $. so i went with a graphite bars and handle, penn 501 spool, and aluminum newell seat and clamp. ended up costing me about 45.00 or so, but i searched on ebay for a while and pieced it together. not too bad in small doses. Also put some Carbontex drags in it, so it has a little bit more balls!
I own a handful of "shiny" reels, but love goin old school sometimes too
