Penn Long Beach 67 spool overheat and doesnt turn again

[sebastian_garcia]

Hi everybody, i was figthing a 80# Pacific Sailfish he was taken long runs and in the last run i began to retrieve line and the reel seems to be hard to retrieve and another short run and the reel made a noise like crack and doesnt spin anymore y put it on free and turn the spool with problems i finish the batlle by hand and release tha sailfish.
When i return home take apart the reel and lokked that the spool has like a metal washer that is unwelded maybe  the heat make the spool expand and lost the original shape.

What do you think, i will be happy to hear any advises

the spool expanded under the extreme pressure of your fish.  these reels were never intended to take these kinds of pressures.

Was the reel spooled with mono?

[Bryan Young]

Wow, that's like taking a 22 to shoot a bear.

Hi Keta , Yes it was spooled with mono

The mono spread your spool, Dacron or better yet Spectra with 10'-100' mono topshots will keep this from happening.

Hey Bryan, the next time I'm in Santa Roselea, BCS in the summer I'm going to try billfish (striped and sailfish) with a 750SS and Surfmaster 100

Hi Bryan Young, Maybe is like go hunting with a .22cal but no with a normal .22 Rifle, for me is like go Hunting with the 22 that my Grandfather use to go Bear Hunting 50 years ago, do you know the satisfaction that it means, catch a fish with a reel that belongs to your Grandfather is everything.
But you are right, it is a litlle reel

Replace the spool, fill it with braid and do it again!

The reel was original spooled with Dacron, does that Dacron could be good to fish with it?
What i could do to the spool?

[Bryan Young]

I'm not sure about braid, but dacron is much more forgiving and top shot it with mono..

I hear ya about catching fish with a reel that has a lot of sentiment and history to it.  I do that to without realizing that I'm taking a bb gun to the battle...but it's not how small, it's where you aim...right?

What i could do to the spool?

Not much. Fit a new one, $22.

I've tried to repair warped with my 10 ton press but only have a 10% success rate, I quit when I found a good used 349 spool and I found a Newell aluminum one.  Get a new spool, aluminum if they made them. 

Scotts has alluminum and chromed spools listed. Aluminum-$33.10. chromed bronze- $22.75.

Here's a used chromed bronze one.
