Off topic but does a Tani stainless 209 sleeve fit a Penn 180?

If you're referring to the gear sleeve...yes...it will drop right in...unless your 180 is an old one. Some of the old 180s have that funky narrower bridge post.

Penn Parts lists them as "98-155AT" I just put one in my Seaboy 185.

Just finished restoring a gray 25 Monofil tonight that I got from Randy, thanks btw!

The two green 26s in the background are in pretty rough shape and need help. They are for a future resto project.

So does anyone have a handle that is in great shape that would be era correct for this 25? Its a 24-155 I believe.

Also still on the hunt for a clean rose colored 27.

Here are some pictures.

I think these are kinda cool !! I would like to find a nice set of Grey side plate or the Rose colored plates for one of these. John Taylor

John, those are absolutely amazing! They're way beyond cool!

I love the monofils and have collected at least a couple dozen in all the colors over the years.

I believe your collection of cradles is one of the best around.

Great stuff, .. Lou

I'm still working on finding a teal green levelwind, the prices lately are a little out of my leauge lately.

I do have the correct handle but it's not in very good condition. I did my best to take out the bend in it but it shows some pitting so I figured why not source out a clean like new handle if I can find one.
