OK, a bit of trivia maybe, but I am very interested to know what is your favourite model PENN reel....and why.
Can be spinner or conventional...just one please.

349H, I like tall narrow reels with plenty of cranking power.

I have all of the answers, yup, no, maybe.

Modified 113h alias "The Tank."  It is legendary on this site having been created by Sal (Alto Mare).  Sal generously gifted it to me and since I have owned it I have caught several YFT and striped Marlin.  I love this reel and take it with me on my Mexico fishing trips.  Dominick
Leave the gun.  Take the cannolis.

There are two things I don't like about fishing.  Getting up early in the morning and boats.  The rest of it is fun.

420SS.  Great tough little spinner.
:D I talk with every part I send out and each reel I repair so that they perform at the top of their game. :D

The Jigmaster, one reel, 3 sizes... 501, 99 size and 500.
I would rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6...

I gave one of those to my son. He uses it regularly.

12/0, Hands down. Perfect choice of size and power for Monster fish! ;)

550SS. The old metal one from the 80s.  I've since moved on to fancier gear, but that 550 gets put back in rotation every once in a while. Caught a LOT of fish on that reel.
Just a jig-a-lo

My Newell Tuna Special. One mud marlin on it at Cedros and I am hooked for ever. They will bury me with that reel.

113H, the reel that can do it all. Sal's Tank version....blindato.
I don't know how to do everything, but I know how to get everything done.

Not all fishing is done with rod and reel.

I think I have one that was in a box of "parts" reels someone gave me, it was in good shape.

Old Penn 130 Sailfisher.

Why? -- Just a unique old example of one of Penn's earlier designs before everything got either HD or cheaper.
