This little Penn

Reel 224 · November 28, 2015, 09:24:10 PM

I received a surprise in the mail yesterday from Sal and I wanted to take before pictures and after. The pictures here are before as you can see and the reel is in great shape, but I wanted to add a few things. I take pictures when I get all the parts together.

Joe, how do you like that EVA grip?...

thorhammer · November 30, 2015, 10:45:52 PM

Yes please advise; I'm doing one of my Mag 10's now and HATE the 24-160 plastic torpedo on it, since I'll be using it cast and retrieve.I'd been eying the EVA over the round aluminum ball.

Looking forward to seeing this all done, neat piece!

Dan, the Mag 10 would make you a great flattie or tog reel for Carolina rigging bait or bucktailing, or even light trolling applications. They are beefier than the 9 Peerless with thicker bars, stand and sleeve, have ball bearings and high speed gears that can take bigger drag, plus obvioulsy a mag control. They're stronger than equivilent Abu's but smaller than a 310 GTI in terms of castability. Some of my favorite freshwater striper reels and i used them on flounder and Spanish at the beach.

Wow...that little reel just looks ornery!

Did you get a chance to put the 15-10 AR dogs in it yet?
