Post by: pompano joe on July 24, 2017, 03:24:31 AM
Here's a Penn 706Z "Blue Angel" Custom.  Paint is a Duplicolor "Metal Specks" series.  Knob is from a Penn Slammer III 7500.

Is the knob a direct fit replacement? Love how that looks. My 704 needs some more polishing

Great colour and professional paint job Joe. I powder coated a 750 SS blue a couple of years ago but this makes my "Blue Dog" look pretty ordinary  :-[  ;D

Very nice job Joe! I've been working on a purple and blue if I ever get around to finishing them. Blue and gold looks perfect! Great work!

Not!  Had to make a post for the knob.  The Slammer handle would have looked amazing on this reel, but this was the most efficient was to make it work.  The owner was very specific about the Slammer III knob.

Thanks, Keith, for the spool band!  Don't know what I'd do without your help.  Rock Stars have drug dealers on speed dial...I've got Keith!
