Wow - that's an awesome selection Sal.
Is that a 112H on the right?
But what's the one above (ie next to what I assume is a 113HL)?
Cheers for the pics mate, Justin

Justin, the Senators are : 113HN, 113HLW red spool, 114HN, 114H red spool, 114WEX.  all with SS gears and sleeve. I do have a 112H and a standard 113h with a red spool  coming, all I need is a 114HLW and the set will be complete. I'm going to try the three 9500ss  on tuna when I get a chance. I really like those chomed handles, they're beefier than the black ones. I have to prove that a spinner can stop a tuna on its track ;).
By the way, I contacted Mr Alan Hawk and asked him why he didn't have any Penn SS on his list, He answered that even though it didn't make the top five, it is a good reel. I respect his opinion and enjoy everyone of his tutorials. Later, Sal

You're right Bryan, that would make it. I'm trying to find someone that would be willing to do it. By the way, no luck with that Japanese  website about the SS custom parts. I do appreciate you trying for me though.

Thanks Wallace. If I ever get drunk enough ( not a word Dominick ;D) to get on a plane for such a long trip, I'll make sure to pack a couple, so we can hit the Mariana Trench ;)

Sal, you are the envy of the Penn lovers.  Look at the eye candy you've got.

Not to mention that epic cabinet in the background...  ;)
