Hello,
I recently acquired a Penn Delmar 285 in a small group of reels and I believe the spool is aluminum and in pristine condition. Can someone tell me what other reels this spool would fit. The Delmar is a little rougher than I like for my reels to be and I was thinking of swapping the spool to a more desirable reel. Also, does anyone know of a quick cross reference chart for Penn reel parts? I haven't taken the reel apart yet but a Google search says that the spool is a 29L-85. Does that sound right?

Thanks,

Steve

 Yes, that spool fits the penn 85, the modern seaboy 185, the delmar 285, and the long beach 60

 The 285 & long beach 60 are basically identical, except the delmar has no inner chrome rings. All internal and external parts are interchangeable between those 2 reels

Nice find on that spool. Don't know of a single reference chart, but Mystic Reel Parts is a good all-around resource—-and of course—-the forums here.

Thanks for the replies. I also read somewhere that it might fit a 2/0 Senator. Any thoughts on that?

 Opps, yes, I kinda spaced out and forgot that it does also fit a 2/0 senator(old age syndrome lol). The 2/0 is just a fancy version of a long beach 60. It also has same internals as the 285
