Can someone please enlighten me what catalog the 500L first appeared in ??
I have 1st gen 500L in correct box,(yes there's a difference) but it's missing the catalog. My aim is to get the right catalog and make it whole again.
Thanks, Ted
1958 Penn catalog was #22 if that Helps since the 500L was first introduced in 1958 me Thinks but I'm not a Penn Guy ....
IF this helps ????
You need to talk to Mike.
Henry, the 500 intro was plastic or chrome spool. The 500L (aluminum spool) came along several years later
Thanks Daron, I was hoping we could figure this out without bothering Mike.

You have a 35B that shows no 500L ??
I have 36B that does have 500L
Nope just shows N0. 500 - 501. on page 15 copyright 1973.
Don't show in the 1967 30b nor 1969 32b neither. Ain't in the 89 b from 1989
I got some more buried at the shop just have to dig through them .
Maybe the First showing was the 36b ? 1974-75 ?
Unless they have a 35.1/2 b or 35c I am a thinkin ya already got what you are looking for ;D
Any thing else we can hep you with ??? ;D
Thank you Henry. I'll post a pic of the reel tomorrow. The first version of 500L was unique to all other 500L
Like to see it and does it actually have 500L stamped on the side plate ?
As promised. Here is the very 1st edition of the jigmaster 500L. So few of these around leads me to think the silver aluminum spool was very short lived. The 501 with silver aluminum spool is even harder to find
