This is a part for the LEFT HAND version of this reel. If you are trying to convert a standard reel to left hand, you will need more parts
IMPORTANT! It is no longer possible to do a conversion of the 500L reel. Not all of the parts are available to convert the reel to left handed.

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.
