What, exactly, is a Penn "99"?

That reel is pretty awesome Ted.

The green handle seems a bit out of place though.

 Just reviving this older posting to see what we've all been up to since Aiala this started 3 years ago. Lots of good info on this thread and hope to see a few recent 99 width builds from y'all. Let's see 'em !!

Here is a 99 jiggy, narrowed 3/0, and souped up seaboy. All are "99" width

  Here are three recent "99" restos. The first one is a Monofil 26, and it's "99" wide so that counts as a "99" to me. Next is a Seaboy 190, also "99" width. Last is a genuine Silverbeach 99...the reel that started it all. It has steel gears, a 5-stack kit, Newell bars, 66 drag star, and a #24-12LT handle.
