What, exactly, is a Penn "99"?

[Maxed Out]

Certainly not up to par with Aiala and her awesome 99......but here is another 99 in disguise, with stock 500s sideplates and stock Penn spacer bars.

Ted, have you figured out yet what the Penn part no. is for the spacer bars? They must be from another Penn reel. I'm very curious.            Rudy

Only you could find one of those, Ted!... wonder if it was a reel Penn was entertaining to put in production with those spacer bars included like the 500.
Sweet find,
Dom

Spacer bars could be cut from the 500 if you have the tools, what amuses me is the spool.
Only Ted could have a 99 spool in red .
Gorgeous reel!

Yes Rudy, the bars on this one come from a international 12H....both are the plain "backside" bars

That is cool, 99 bars that we didn't know about. Need to make an Albacore Special with the new SS base and those bars.

Ted is right.

I didn't even notice.

Thx Max fraken!

   Very clever Ted! It's amazing how many options are around to make a reel a "99"...it is definitely a popular size. I love the ol' Silver Beach 99. Some "99"s got lost in the shuffle, like this 309, a "99" with levelwind!

LongBeach 99 , with low gears 2.5:1 .

LB60 with 65 spools and 99 seat/posts.

Thank you Randy Pauly for the Newell parts.

    .....yaaaawn, just another 99 jigmaster, but the custom acrylic Knob from Lou sets it apart from the rest 

[Rancanfish]

Ok, what are the bars?  Original Jiggy or 980?

[Maxed Out]

Hi Randy, good to have you around again, hope you are doing better.

 The spacer bars are a stock part....Penn 12h international bars....both are the "plain" backside bars.

[Maxed Out]

 Just when you think you've seen every Jiggy imaginable.......another 99 comes along  

[Alto Mare]

That is crazy Ted, had to put my sunglasses on to take a closer look...very cool!
