you know, these look an awful lot like those taiwanese knock off reels.  i don't think i'd bite on this one until i'd had a chance to crack one open.  alan

I passed on it even tho the price was really good. $148.00
I will keep looking for a Penn Int. 20 for a good price.
I am also lookin for an old Penn Int 50S.i like the narrow reels.
I got a great deal on that Int.30T 2 spd even tho it needed
a little TLC to bring it back to life. where on your site do i find
that bearing shield remove article ?
