Title: 1984 Production NOS Penn International 80W - great box
Post by: fishgrain on December 04, 2015, 02:53:12 PM
This reel has been sold. i wish i could keep more of these, but that time has not come.

sure was pretty - blazing glory of untouched anodized classic 1980's penn gold that only 30 years in a closet could produce.

also worth noting, she is not sitting on a shelf, a friend in Brazil is using this reel to crush big marlin. just what she was intended for,  and i'am sure doing a fine job of it.

he didn't even want the box or papers lolol

The photos make a nice remembrance of the time capsuled reel. Now your friend down south can add to it with pics of Marlin along side the reel.  Thanks for sharing.
