Title: Penn 555 - lost and found
Post by: CEShawn on March 26, 2015, 06:48:17 AM
So first time in two years I cleaned out my boat totally.  I am not even sure when these were used last but found them and brought back some good memories about fluking. 

Thought it was funny that one I believe is a 98 and the other an 01 and have different drags, different screws and other features.  I almost like the older one better, both made in the USA or atleast the holder is!

I got them working, as you can see some hardened clam on them after some bouts with scup/seabass fishing.

It's definitely rewarding to get a reel working again...
