I would imagine, there would be other side plates that would fit that reel, besides the 250 plates, or no?

Yes ExcessiveAngler. A Penn 259 sideplate and of course the Penn Jigmaster 500 sideplate will fit.  Maybe the Penn 1/0 too but I don't own one. There are a few Penn 259 narrowed tanks here that are beautiful reels. I love their 259 looks.

A 501 width 259 is essentially a 1/0. I discovered this when I was messing around with my 259 discovering that the 500 spool could replace my 3-piece 259 spool.

Now I have a high speed and low speed 501 width reels.

Thanks Bryan!
