John is right --

Likely to be a 624, Perry --

Here is a pic of the sticker you need.

Those stickers were cheaply made and adhered poorly from the start.

At the 5 year mark, the spider-cracks in the sideplates would appear -- at the same time the label would lift and peel off.    Neither of these petty issues seemed to affect the performance of these reels, however -- just another one of the major companies trying to cash in on the success of Penn's multi-generational domination in the conventional reel market.  Now the names are owned by the same umbrella corporation --  but Penn did survive and thrive.

Best,

Don't criticize our kids. We too were once "young n' dumb".... Fortunately - and sadly - neither condition is permanent.
