Penn 9/0 question

Those rounded out spots on the pinion gear are so the pinion can smoothly engage with the spool.

 BTW, you should be looking over your shoulder for cops to pull up in your driveway, cause at that price, you stole it. Just the aluminum spool is worth $40-$50

MAX
The spool is marked 109D-115.
I don't see it listed on Mystic or anywhere else.
I keep looking for reasons that the reel was so cheap.
I will be removing all the line next to see if the spool is corroded underneath.
I hope it is in good shape.
Thanks!

Most likely you took advantage of someone that did not know the value of this reel.

The metal to metal washers on the drag stack is not a issue even if the top one is not a bellville, they are both keyed and turn together with the shaft.

I am almost 5 weeks out of surgery and am healing OK, unless I do something stupid, like trying to get our house fixed from the tree damage.  I just had
my 74th Bday and worked 2 part time jobs and a seasonal full time one until last March when my bad leg finally quit working, from moving heavy things out of the house.  My seasonal job shut down and as soon as we get into a house and my leg can take it I will be looking for more work.  Unfortunately age and disability makes jobs hard to find and my trade required a lot physically..
