Penn 2/0 frame

fIsHsTiiCkS · December 22, 2014, 05:42:36 PM

Was there ever a frame or newell bars/reel foot ever made for the Penn 2/0. Just asking thanks guys.

Pretty sure the answer is on a recent long beach 60 thread. 2/0 and long beach 60 are same reel, except outer rings and 3rd post.

Yes, Tiburon made some T2 frames for the 2/0. I'm sure they are few and far between.

I hunt hard for Accurate and Tiburon frames and I've only seen two 2/0 frames in ten years, so it wouldn't be easy to find one unless you get very lucky, or someone who reads this board has one that they would part with.

The diameter of the 2/0 is the same as the 112H, but the hole locations are different. If you are handy and can drill and tap some holes, you could make an Accurate or Tiburon frame work on your 2/0. As to Newell bars and bases, I've never seen any Newell components in the 2/0's oddball 1 3/4" width, but just because I haven't seen any doesn't mean that there aren't any out there. Good luck with the project.

Thanks for the replies guys. That's what I figured and to bad the T2 frame is so rare. Even if I do find one, it might be a shame to fish it. I noticed that about the 112h frames just getting a spool to work with it would be difficult.

I'm pretty sure that there is a Long Beach model that is a little bit wider than the 60. I don't know for sure because I do not usually deal with the Long Beach series (except for the 259), but given Penn's habit of making their parts as interchangeable as possible, I would guess that they made a model with the correct width spool to fit the 112H 2 1/8" wide frame.

I believe a Longbeach 65 is 2 1/8 wide. Lb 66 also 2 1/8 wide. RUDY

The 65 is a a good choice. Is the spool the right diameter. Not as familiar with Long Beach reels.

Same diameter spool as the 2/0, but the 65 is wider.

We could make our own frame

make sure the cross bars are low enough. we made that mistake one time.

Wow ZaneG that's beyond my skill set but looks awesome! Wonder how much it would be to get some made up.

DISCLAIMER: I am not a machinist I only make the drawings and from my experiences the engineers and machinists have a love/hate relationship.

I always imagined it could be done on a lathe and mill but I could never figure how to make the stand maybe somebody else knows. Even then it would take a lot of time to clean the part up and it still might not look great.

I guess this is why they are all cast which only makes sense if you make a larger run of parts.

It may be easier to make the stand separately and attach it with screws to the frame, as is done on the Tiburon frames.
