Penn Reels - just as you find them

[sdlehr]

Thanks Bill. Its a cool little reel. I was surprised to see the leather thumb drag. My dad use to rig up thumb drags on some of his reels, I had no idea they came stock on some reels. lol

That thumb drag did not come stock on that Squidder. The Thumb drag is made by Pflueger and is after-market.

Thanks for info Sid.

You will probably find you don't need a thumb stall with a squidder.  They have a sound drag and the cast control will calm the spool down enough to make it manageable.

Picked up this Surfmaster for a few bucks-I loved the spool and handle. Feels sound, but it needs a good cleaning. We'll see once I open it up.

Nice Ted, very hard to find those old chrome bars in good condition. Great find.

[broadway]

Sorcery I tell ya! Those reels in that condition ain't easy to come by as we all know.
Nice job,
Dom
