This Part is used with the COARSE-TOOTHED Bridge/Star/Sleeve System.
500 and 500S Design Change - Bridges/Sleeves/Star Drag Info
Jigmaster 500 size reels BRIDGE PLATE
All use the SAME bridge plate
stamped "3-500S"
The difference between 500, 500S, 500-LH, 500S-LH
Was all determined by the 98 sleeve installed on the bridge:
98-60 Coarse Thread using 10-60 Star on 500
98-505 Fine Thread using 10-505 Star on 500S
98-60LH Coarse Left Hand Thread using 10-60LH Star on both LH reels.
NOTE:
The fine threaded sleeve and star from the 505 series reels can be used on the 500 reels.
Thread must ALWAYS match the star used.
