Finally joining this group   Should be here in about a week, I'll clean her up and post some pictures.  Now I need to explain to the wifey where it is going to go in the family room! 

Congrats, Dan! Looking forward to seeing the pics.

Welcome Dan!

New to the club. Got this beauty for a sweet deal from a man in okinawa Japan. Would love to make her into a trophy reel, but this reel is a working girl. Hookin all over the world! Took a few pictures and played with lighting and editing to bring out the best features of the side plate. Anyone know anything about a bamboo looking handle? Well glad to be im the club guys! I'm thinking I might be the youngest at 23?

         Stay salty gentleman!  -Jake

I've got pics of this reel on the beach

Got it...pulled the line off...dismantled...multiple SG soaks and a few 'tufts' of nevrdull and I'm tickled with the outcome.  These big guys are works of art and a pleasure/honor to own/work on.  It's another one of those reels that we are just caretakers for until we pass on...and then these reels will be passed on...a humbling thought and a true testament to quality of our friends at Penn.

I love this picture in black and white!

Ok...enough...

Nice reel Dan, congratulations! I believe all Penn lovers should have at least a 16/0.
Very nice buddy, enjoy it!

Good Work Dan,
The Biggest Senator is only for those whose Dreams Become Reality.
Good on ya Bro.

My dream became my reality when I married my favorite wife, but a 16/0 Senator hasn't been part of my dreams.  If something rips out my 14/0, it might creep in, but since that hasn't happened yet (and I dare anything to try), I'm quite satisfied.  

Thinking about it a bit more, if something does strip the 14/0, I might go to the Shark Hunter route straight to the Everol.  Why play around with the cannon when you can have a nuke?

True Dat!
You say your favorite wife Albert. I only have one.

[erikpowell]

Can I join the club with my 14/0 ?
It's really a narrow 16/0, right? 

[Shark Hunter]

I think we can make an exception for you Erik.
Good to see you my man!

[Makule]

I only have one, and she's my favorite.

Spent the evening working on another one of these Legends.
It keeps me sane.

That one certainly seems to have been in good condition.  Did you upgrade the clamp to a ringed one on that guy?
