Wow, that reel has done some serious fishing, stand and posts are bent out of shape. Is the spool rubbing anywhere?

surprisingly no its not. I know its rough but just couldn't pass it up for the price. Do the jigmaster bars fit these?

Yes Dustin,
Its the same post. The 250 surfmaster and 500 jigmaster share the same posts as the 259.

Thanks Daren, Swimmer I know what you mean I can't wait to breath some new life into it and get it fishing again. :)

I like that!

Old Penn's don't come to my house to retire either!

Good Luck with getting it back up to snuff!

Thanks I have an aluminum spool and a set of jigmaster solid bars to go on it. I need to find a set of rings but it looks like that might prove to be difficult.

Good find mate I think the rings are the same as the 110 - 1/0 Senator .Ive never seen a 259 in the flesh before.

It has definitely been rode hard, and put up wet.

I was hoping to find some good ones for cheap on ebay but no luck yet they are all in rough shape it would cost me 40 to replace them with new ones from scotts

Just sand them down and paint them. I'm going to try that with a beachmaster. When they are that pitted, its the only cost effective solution.

That's a possibility Im not in any hurry to get it done so I may wait and see what pops up on ebay.

I've considered re-chroming hard to find Penn parts but one piece at a time is expensive, a bunch would reduce the per piece price.

That would be a good idea as well, but like you said you would have enough parts to make the cost feasible
