"Ventage" Penn Challange

[Keta]

I can't find the thread disguising the Jigmaster challenge so I'll start a new one.


I have the 500/501 reels but would rather fish the Challenge with a 349H.  Can we expand it by adding 113H and 349's to the list or will I be forced to fish one of my tricked out 501's?  

BTW, My hand is improving rapidly thanks to a wonderful therapist and pushing it hard by me. I can feel my ring and little finger again, I have some grip and I'm not dropping things as much.  During the 2014 trip I was experiencing a lot of pain, no strength in my left hand and could not feel 2 fingers.  I was afraid I would loose a rod over the side and could not deal with the fish without the help of my friend, Mr. Two Speed.  I also pulled a "Allen" and left my 349's in a reel bag on my shop floor.

Very good to hear your hand continues to improve. Keep working at it.

That is good to hear Lee!

Glad to see you're finally on the mend. 
Feel good pal,

Hmmmm......
A Jigmaster challenge or a Penn challenge? There must be rules in any contest:

For a Jigmaster challenge:
Rule #1  Reel must be based on a 500 or 501
Rule #2  USA-made only
Rule #3  No more rules

For a Penn challenge:
Rule #1  Single speed Penns only, made in USA
Rule #2  No Penn Internationals
Rule #3 

Who's next?

I like the Penn challenge, it seems all-inclusive. Jigmasters, Squidders, Senators, whatever. And, since this would be a "vintage" contest, how about no fluorocarbon or braid, just straight mono?   

~A~

Rob posted some rules, but I'm not sure that I understand. Is this challenge, catch the biggest fish, win all of the liquor?

[Big Tim]

I'm pretty sure it won't matter what you all bring or what the rules are as I plan on winning anyway

I dunno. Ask Lee or Big Tim. I don't make the contests, I just make the rules. Yeah, right.  Don't I wish.

I like the all mono for sure...Nothing over 30#  I know I once landed a 28# Halibut on 20# mono on a Penn 209 with an ol' Fenwick E glass rod
