Parts needed from Australia

InTheNet · February 02, 2016, 07:57:23 PM

I am not a frequent poster here but do look in when I am stuck on a repair.

I have been looking for some spare parts for a Penn 875lc for several years and looks like Anglers central in Australia has them. They do not seem real excited about shipping them to the US.

Any body willing to order them and ship them to me? I will gladly pay up front. Only need a few parts but are unavailable in the U.S. / discontinued. And I will pay for your time/trouble

I don't know how best to pay for them, But I can send a check/ cash/ PayPal or I print my own Money orders

.

The part I really need is penn 62-875 clicker spring but there is a couple more I want for spares.

I have 50 of these reels both 855/875's that I use for different techniques. (Only one is bad and I broke the counter) They are about 20 years old.

If any body is willing I would appreciate it

Thank you. Rick Hehn. Richehn@netscape.net. In The Net charters.com

The penn digital line counters are nice reels. The line counter when set up properly is very accurate . I average within 2% at 100ft of line out.

When they were in production they were pretty pricey at around $130 a pop.

I keep my eyes open and scoop up used ones. I bought one a couple of weeks ago with 2 hours on it for $35.

We use them trolling for Walleye/ aAtlantic salmon and for Dipsey's for king salmon. I will never run out of them , but it drives me crazy having them not in proper working condition.

All freshwater.

Thanks Wallace,
It turns out I have an account with them I last used mid 2014 - just had to wait overnight to reset the forgotten password. I know what you mean about accents, face to face conversation usually isn't too bad, but over the phone can make it harder to understand each other.
