Title: Penn Squidder 146 w/ 1 5/8" tiburon frame
Post by: STRIPER LOU on December 22, 2014, 10:16:34 PM
HI all and Holiday Greetings!!!

I have a narrow, Tiburon framed, 146 Penn Squidder. My problem is even with the bearing takeup screw cranked all the way in I still have some side play in the spool. If it can be shimmed what would be the correct way to do this or is there another alternative?
Thanks in advance,  ..  Lou

if i can get an address, i have a washer that can fit under the bearing.  it should be adjustable, though.

Hey Alan, received the shim washers today for the Penn Squidders. I really appreciate that. Going to send you one of my hand tied Bucktails.
Thanks again, Holiday Greetings and the best to you and yours for the New Years!!!
