Title: Penn 80, Clean and Service
Post by: gt2003 on May 04, 2022, 06:56:37 PM
I bought this reel as part of a 3 reel purchase.  It's a Penn 80.  So far I've just broken it down and have it layed out on my workbench.  As time permits, I'll clean it up, lube it and reassemble.  Here's a few pics:

Looks to be in pretty good shape.

That line of reels pretty much put Ocean City  out of Business in my opinion along with Ocean City's management .
Undercut them quite a bit when money was TIGHTER than a Bulls Arse in Fly Time .Great Reel and CHEAP!

There sure isn't much to it, lol!  A little cleaning, relubing and exterior shine is all it needs.  Then on to the Shakespeare Deuce 1905.  Then I gotta get rid of them to buy more, lol!
