Title: Penn 720 crosswind block
Post by: hrgriz on May 24, 2017, 07:59:57 PM
My Penn 720 quit on me while fishing Saturday. The crosswind block broke.I checked on Ebay,
and couldn't find one.Any thoughts on where I might get one? Have had this reel since I bought
it while in the Army in 75. Any help is appreciated :)

Great, Mo --

Only have a few of those original plastic ones left --

So great to have a source.

Without that part -- the reel is non-functional -- only weak link in a Penn 720.

Best,

Fred

The guy that made them said they should last forever, so that's a good thing, too.

If that source dries up, I have a potential backup manufacturer as well.
