Jighead - You will find that with the "standard" Penn's like your Jiggy and Squidder, that as with many older Penn's the architecture is very similar, while maybe some of the actual parts are different.  Good reels to start with. - john

You're stealing those Penn's for that price. The 4300 is a 3rd generation Spinfisher. What I like is the dog-ear style silent anti-reverse.

Went to the local flea market yesterday morning, not much going on until we got to the very last table. Bought an old leather revolver holster for $3, an old made-in-Japan novelty spy glass for $1,and I saw a pair of Penn #9s on old glass rods. Asking price? $5 each.
Both are fully functional and just need a clean and lube. One rod is a Betts, the other has no labels left. I might keep the combos intact and see if they can't handle bottom fishing from the pier or boat.

Clean looking old school combos. Way to go rescuing them
