does the jig master have a line guide to keep line even on the spool

No it does not. I just use my finger to move the line evenly along the spool.

Nope there's no level-wind mechanism on Jigmaster's.I hold the rod forward of the reel while retrieving. Then I use my thumb and index finger to push or pull the line back and forth as You retrieve line. Doing this will keep your line level. You can also Google (how to use a conventional fishing reel) for more information, because there are better explanations than mine.

No, this does not have a level wind system. You can cast further without one. We use this reel for shoreline fishing and it is a real truck of a reel. So far it has cranked in everything we have hooked up, has a strong drag and cleans up easily. If you learn to cast and retrieve on this reel you will be an expert on almost any conventional reel you pick up. A lot of value for the price; the Chevrolet of conventional reels.

No it does not have a guide to direct the line. I bought one for a birthday present and when they opened it it did not work. The drag would not hold. Tried to return but it was over the 30 days so they would not take back.

No, but thats why I own four of these. Line guides tend to be more hinderence than help, and line guides tend to malfunction putting more of a burden on your reel.

No, it does not.For what it's worth, my experience with the "level wind" feature on certain reels suggests they do not work well when used in a salt water environment. The salt accumulates inside the level wind mechanism and causes myriad problems, which usually present themselves when you are trying to land a large fish. In my opinion, no salt water reels should have a level wind feature except for those which sit, polished and pretty, on some "sportsman's" shelves.

My reel came with line and seems to come off fine. I use it for bowfishing....only downside it its weight.

Yes, I own Penn 309, 209 and a jig master they all have the same clicker and works great.

Yes The metal guide works best after the first established cut has been made. especially if you adjust it to the trench setting . What took an hour with a string trimmer takes only 15 minutes and looks nicer. I have not regretted this purchase . Makes me look like I know what I'm doing.

It does. You just won't be able to use the automatic threader. It doesn't come with a dedicated spool pin, but there are workarounds for that. The universal foot should work fine.

No edge guide but you could add one if you are handy. I find this saw very stable as it is heavier then most and has very little vibration with high RPM so it would be easy to cut a straight line with a steady hand. Cutting out a 90 degree corner requires coming from opposite ends if that is what you are asking. Otherwise it cuts a very clean line.

No; just the jig. This is one of the best tools I have ever bought! Used it to build my kitchen and vanity cabinets, and it works fantastic! Made the job so much easier and professional looking! Very easy to use.

It does have and edge guide, but no circle cutting guide. I have had and used mine for the past 1.5 years, and I am very happy with it. Great for router tables.

Yes, you would leave it on each line. If a line stretches and sags, you can easily and quickly tighten the line by pulling it through the tightener. Yes, you need one tightener for each line. This device works well, except that it's extremely difficult to thread the line through it initially.

I don't know. But, I have been using the Java jig for almost 2 years and love it. Much better than any other alternatives I've tried.

Yes it comes with a spool. I've used mine for several weeks and am still using the original spool.

No not at all. If you have owned one in the past like I did it is exactly the same. You pop in the spool and feed the line through the hole. That's it and then lengthen to where you want the string.

Home Depot sells that and according to their specs it holds the .65 size line. I've got a trimmer that automatically feeds. I would buy an extra spool and have it full in your pocket so if the line runs out you just switch it.

I use my own line but I've found its impossible to get a hand wound spool to feed correctly no matter what I've tried. At the same time, prepacked spools work just fine for feeding line.

It does not. However, I've not found that to be an issue. The tool drives various length pins consistently. With my old tool, I adjusted air pressure as necessary.

yes the lines are pulled out one at a time, they don't even need to go in the same direction,I have mine going to trees,one goes straight the other sideways. If I don't need that much space I only use one.

Sometimes it doesn't feed properly, but most of the time the line feeds properly so you can keep on working. My experience is that when the line gets pulled really tight the line welds itself to the spooled line and you have to pull that apart. IHMO, overall it is the best trimmer I ever used. I like the single line as the double lines seem to use up a lot of line and you're constantly changing the spool. It is hard to find in the local stores, so I've order a couple (over the past few years) from Amazon.
