Making a wiiide Penn #65 Long Beach

Ted's Teasors : From the Back . Long beach #60 , #65 & a wide #65





The Wide #65






Ted's 'How To "

Its a 200 seat (jigmaster, surfmaster) and frame posts and a Standard 3/0 senator spool....60 or 65 plates both work. A non clamp seat would be the 155 that would fit in also. I like the clamp seat

   I'm still flabbergasted about how smooth this wide 65 is. Likely has lots to do with the stainless 3/0 spool.

Wow! Those are pristine.  Dominick

All of Ted's reels are pristine, I believe he manufactures his own .

 Yep, I admit it. I use a 3D printer to make all my reels.

A LongBeach,

still as sweet.

Beautiful reels!

[Mudman]

Wow! those look newer than new.

If I had anything that clean on one of my shelves, I would look for the proper owner because I know It could not be mine.

Beg your pardon Sir Mike, but rumor has it you have the nicest anniversary 114H in the known universe and a few dozen other stunning reels, and yours are all original, while mine are manufactured in my root cellar.

  Yep, and the name of my machine shop is OCD...Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. There, I finally came outta the closet....sorda.


  The wide 65 is same width as a jigmaster, but the long beach plates and spool are slightly larger diameter. Newly christened as the "400yd long beach 65", which is same yardage as the bulkier long beach 66. Too bad Penn never marketed these wide 65's, I bet they would have sold them by the truckload. I have plans to build a couple more and put them to use.

I was playing around some years back when I first started tinkering with reels and found whoa, Penn stuff is interchangeable....the 65 frankepen from spare parts was my first such i think. Cool little reel.

Some of those rumors are true. I do have one of the finest 114H reels on Earth, That is because I bought from a very compulsive individual, I have nothing to do with its creation>>>>

[Alto Mare]

You know Ted, this makes it number two. You put my name tag all over the reel and then you give it away to someone else, what's up with that? I thought me and you were tighter than that 
oh well, at least I got my Tuna, can't eat a fishing reel ....

[Shark Hunter]

He is always moving reels Sal. He is not like us.
That Jalapeno Tuna of his was Delicious!
I gave him a handle for a 10/0 he had.
Then I turned around and bought the reel.

Man, that would hold a heap of 50lb braid, wouldn't it?

Very nice looking reel.

The one you just got had my name tag all over it as well before he contacted you ...enjoy it buddy

Ted is still alright with me, I'm just messing with him... we go way back.
