Just finished my dad's old Senator 9/0. I can't wait to catch something with it in honor of him. Before and after. Everything has been done to it that I know of double dogs, one piece frame, 7 carbon fiber drag washers, gomexus aluminum handle, SS gears, and SS gear sleeve.

That's a turnaround. Even shined up the plates. You did papa proud. Now go make him jealous.
Any machine is a smoke machine if you use it wrong enough.

Clean them really good, and then black shoe polish and buff it.

Swampfox, how much money did all the Penn 9/0 upgrades cost?

Have you caught any fish in it yet?

Ain't been long had it done, and haven't had a chance to get on the water yet. I'm hopefully will after the first week of deer archery season. Mods cost roughly $300.

Well spent money to turn Dad's Penn 9/0 into a sea monster killer machine.
