Title: Penn Senator 2/0. Bridge broke or a variation of model
Post by: Fishgolfman on April 27, 2024, 03:08:55 AM
I was doing a total disassembly and clean up on a Penn Senator 2/0. Reel was working fine with respectable freespool and drag. Note picture showing the bridge and shaft separation. Is this normal? Can i still bottom fish this reel or need a bridge replacement?? Note the washer on bridge plate that fits the shaft. This model has stainless steel main gear indicating i think an older model

nope.  not normal.  does your bridge plate say 3-60 or 3-66?  i'm guessing that a new bridge plate is in order.

The 3-60 bridge was replaced with a 3-66 in newer reels. It's possible your 2/0 use lb60 gears.
I have seen an older lb66 with 60 main gears and other parts.
