Title: New/old guy here...
Post by: fxrguy on August 05, 2015, 04:01:45 PM
Greetings to all from Central Florida! I am new to owning conventional reels and just picked up an old Special Senator 112H and have owned an old Peer 209 for a while. Both are when Penn made all their stuff in the USA. I also have a 710Z and a 704Z which I have owned since they were new. I have been trolling this site for a while and am awed by the depth of knowledge there is here. Look forward to learning and tricking out the 112H.

Thanks Alan. I will do some basic upgrades to the 209 and the 112H but I'm not going overboard. I have a small Scout 162 Sportfish bay boat and wanted something to troll just outside of Ponce Inlet Florida, along the beaches and fish the breakwall. I will probably pick up a 113H at some point in the future just so I have my own rig when going offshore.
