Buyer Beware

[Maxed Out]

I made impulse buy and grabbed an older Penn 49, but had a feeling something was fishy cause just a pic of headplate was what I remember seeing. ...well, my suspicions were right. Upon inspection one of the clamp bolts is bent pretty bad. Sometimes impulse buys are ok, and sometimes they bite back.

Is that the south african model? I would have overlooked the clamp bolt too. Haha Impulse shimpulse, nice one

Ted: I'm sure I have a clamp bolt and a stand if you need them. Just let me know.

The reel doesn't look that bad IMO. The clamp bolt would be the least of my worries. Open it up and see what may be something more significant. I think most of my Internationals have bent clamp bolts but I can still fit them on the rod. You still may have a gem.

I have a mint looking reel if you want it.

I have tweaked many a clamp bolt into alignment with a nut driver. I wouldn't have an issue with it.

It's the Ted magic touch, reels find him.

     Send it back ,tell the seller the problem .   One of use will buy it back for a few dollars cheaper

That's an "A". He's funnin' us.     He prolly has more clamp studs in parts bins than Mo.

It is a joke.....and Sheridan is the only one who is on to me

  Besides bent stud, there's something else abnormal about this 49 (pic# 2)

Large arbor casting spool?

The reel has been widened, looks like a wahoo special

[Swami805]

shot in the dark,2 top bars instead of 1 like a 49?  49A right? I think I've seen a plastic spool before

I called 49A, I'm with the Swami...
