Penn 49 Click Tongue: Fixated

[Ken_D]

Hi, Folks, re the above. I have pretty much zero familiarity with the Penn line, except the 320/330/340/345, and the odd 209/309.

The 49 I have, has the click tongue riveted to the side plate. Other than buying a new sideplate all rigged up, will there be a clicker and button from another reel that can be made to fit.  Looking at later variants of the 49 (349,etc), I see that Penn allowed replacement of the clicker, but I would not know if these later parts fit.

Thanks, Ken.

Hello Ken, I was passing by and saw your post at SOL. Yes the clicker toungue is replaceable. You will need to file down the riveted area and it will come right out. MysticParts.com has them in stock, the part # is 35-60 and 36-60 CH. Sal
