Penn spinfisher

[Mikeflorian]

I bought a 700 3 weeks ago and took it apart and serviced it, noticed the shop had some more. Now I have an obsession with these old tanks. Got a 710 with some rash and a 712 that doesn't look like it was ever fished it will be soon.

These are great spinners, simple in design and built of quality materials. I recently picked up a 714z and 716z to use for fresh water /lake fishing. Same design just a lot smaller real little tanks a snap to maintain will long outlast me Doug

Hi, do you recognize this Penn Spinfisher 700?   The side plate says "700" but it does not have the usual silver rotor cup, and it does not have the early one-piece handle (maybe it was upgraded)?  Thanks very much for your help.

Before I sold everything in the 90's I had every Penn green reel made and most were new in the box. I even had an all black Penn 714 they made in between years.

The 716 sold for a bit over $180.00 back then. It was NIB too.

Now I wish I hadn't sold them.

I bought a 700 new in 1969.  Didn't keep it long, but it did not have silver on the rotor and it had a folding handle.

Bottom view makes me think it might be a 704 with a 700 side plate (Except for the plate badging, I believe they're identical.) I love 'em both, although I do somewhat prefer the 704's more snappy bail release. I'm taking mine tomorrow on an 8-day to throw poppers.

The 700 cover plate is a little larger than the 704. I'm thinking a 700 reel with a 704 rotor, as Aiala mentioned.
