Penn 20/0 Senator

[Shark Hunter]

And there you have it Mike. From the Authority Himself.
I think Ray put it Best. Bigfoot uses a 20/0.
I now do not Believe in either one.
Not that I ever believed in Bigfoot,
I am laying this one to rest.
I have a Everol 20/0 and I don't think it will ever be topped.
No Sarcasm, No Drama. Just the Facts.
Shark Hunter Uses a 20/0.
Believe it!

I found the 20/0, sorry it took so long.

I think you run two lines to the same hook and then crank with both hands at the same time.

OMG Sal I about spit my coffee when I saw that. It looks like something designed and built to address a problem I can't imagine exists. However, I for one will not be surprised when one day, a 16/0 that was widened to a 20 for a special customer one day appears. Until then if someone ever approaches me about one I'm going to tell them SHOW ME.

[Alto Mare]

Hahaha...I couldn't resist Mike. As you, I would not be surprised if one shows up...never say never.

I don't know about a penn 20/0 I did run across
A interesting penn a guy in South Africa wanted to
Sell I was looking for a 49 wide and as we were talking he
He told me his father has a large Penn I ask him if it
Was a 16/0 he said no it was bigger about 2 inches
Wider and the end plates we about an inch bigger
Wanted to know if I was interested because I was buying
Wide reels I said no I wouldn't have a use for something
That size I don't know if this is what you guys a talking about
Or some special order item from way back when
Just thought I would toss my 2 cents in that's all

[Gunrunner]

I never gave it much thought but if something like this happens again
I will ask for a photo

Hello Scott,

               I wonder where you were in South Africa. There is some really interesting land based big game fishing on the Indian Ocean Side of South Africa. Great White sharks are caught off the Sea Walls of Port Elizabeth. I have some friends there that had fascinating stories to tell about the fishing there.

Funny thing about the Ex Pats in South Africa. Historically, they have had problems with their postal services. So they get very creative in making their own tackle. Maybe what the person was talking about was a Penn reel that had been modified. They modify many things in South Africa because they need to.

[Gunrunner]

That could be like I said I never really gave it much
Thought I am going to go and look at all my notes
And see if I can find the contact info and get in
Touch and get some photos just to see what the guy was talking about
