Tell me about this spool

[Crow]

I just "won" a "penn 49" on e bay....probably won't have it in my hand till late next week, but, the suspense is killing me ! The main reason I made the offer was....the spool looks "different" from any of the others that I have, so ?  Is it a "newer" type plastic spool ?

   My 49 has that spool too Crow. The first catalog pic to show that spool was '52, so it must be a later version.

Nice find Crow,   Isn't it exciting waiting for those Ebay purchases to arrive !!.
                Been seeing a few of these 49 reels being posted up of late, I have a 249, but not a 49 model.
            It will find a nice spot in your collection I'm sure......

Well, we are planning to store the RV in Alabama, this next year....so I'll have more room, at home, for shelves
