:D I talk with every part I send out and each reel I repair so that they perform at the top of their game. :D

Any machine is a smoke machine if you use it wrong enough.

Ok, those are both sharp looking reels. SW/heavy duty work is where Penn spinners come into their own. They were great reels for the Great Lakes salmonid fishery our shop served.

Jason, is that one mirror polished?

It used to be. I have a tendency to make a reel look like a show pony then proceed to treat it like a work horse. I bet I could clean it up again though with a bit of elbow grease. I also have a similar 8500SS. These were some of my first projects when i started posting here.

Same here. They were made to be fished.
