Penn/ Newell parts compatibility?

[cooper669]

I have searched high and low but could not find. Is there a list of parts that can be interchanged between the different Newell and Penn models?

[Bryan Young]

Other than frame bars and reel seats, the only other part would be the main and pinion gears from the 200/300/400 series would fit Penn 505/506.

Are you saying that all of the parts for the 200/300/400 series would fit Penn 505/506, besides the ones you listed or the frame, bars and reel seats, main and pinion gears are the only parts that would fit those models?

[Bryan Young]

I only said that the main and pinion gears will fit.

Thanks Bryan!!!

Bryan, is this also true vice versa? I have a Newell S229-5 that's a bit too fast for bottom fishing. Newell 3:1 gears are impossible to find so a 4:1 gear/pinion set from a Penn 505/506 will fit? Since the 505/506 are t made anymore, will the pinion/gear from the 500L fit?

Thanks and sorry for the basic questions. I did a search but found conflicting info (some say I have to dremel the yoke or pinion part a little or "do at your own risk").

Well, I just just did a test fit of Penn's 4:1 pinion gear on a Newell 235 spool and as you can see, it fits.  The Penn 4:1 gear set should work on the Newell 200/ 300/ 400 series reels.

Another option for our Newell Reels.  Hooray!

Does anybody know which Peen reel base fits on a Newell 229?

Does anybody know which Peen reel base fits on a Newell 229?

one from a "99" silver beach should fit. don't know the part # though.

I have a Newell Blackie 338 with 5:1 gears, what drags are these compatible with in the Penn line...500 or 505/506?

I am looking at upgrading to Bryan's 5+1 thin CF drag stack, but confused on which drags will fit.

Thanks guys.

The 500 and 505 use the same 6-309 drag washers,

With my kit, all I need to know that you have a 338 Blackie and I know which kit you need.

Thanks Bryan.

I will message you when I decide to do the 5+1 drag upgrade.
