Why are there no 5/0, 7/0, 8/0, etc???
Just thought I'd ask ;D
Not sure, but maybe cause they would be too close in size and gear ratio.
Good question,
Dom
There are no dumb questions, only questions. ;) Rudy
1/0, 2/0, and the other */aught sizes were established before Penn came along. A 2/0 made by several reel companies were about the same size. JVH, EVH, Cox, Ocean City and others had them.
I venture to guess that there was a math relationship between spool capacity and the */aught size. Some geek should take the time to figure out what that relationship is because you never see it mentioned.

Everol has a 7.5/0 ;D
No 13/0 just because it's bad luck and you don't need that when fishing,,,,,,,, ;)
Know 13/0 but i still have plenty of bad luck when I`m fishing, cheers Don.
Ahhh,
But wait !!.
The guru Mike always sais, expect the unexpected as far as Penn goes.
What is really out there ????? ;D
I have plenty of 13/0 reels Don, Well, that's what I rate them as, especially after all the Donut days fishing.
;D

Yep, Everols have some different ought sizes. I would say Daron and Robert would know the models on these best. Ones I've seen are 5/0's and 7/0's. Think the 5/0 was a Van Hofe of some kind and the 7/0 I believe was a Rosetti Gladiator.
I'm starting to wonder if it has something to do with hook size??
Best,
Dom

I think there is one kinda dumb question: the one someone DOSEN'T ask.
