Anyone know if Penn reels sold in Australia are the same as the reels we have in the U.S? Specifically the International VSX.
Looking to buy a few new reels but want to make sure they won't have parts that are impossible to find. Thanks
If it is the same model number as a USA, it's the same reel.
It's the models that are only made for overseas release that you can't get parts for here in the U.S....watch the model numbers.
I wish we could get the parts...we get so many requests.
Thanks a lot Mo ;D
I'm going to pull the trigger on them.
Ended up finding a pretty good deal on some Penn International VSX reels here in the U.S. $799 each shipped. Got the silver ones!
The deal in Australia is still there in case anyone is looking. It's through a seller on Ebay, just search. I believe he has 6 left. I think the price is good because of the exchange rate and the new Internationals are coming out. I was going to wait for another 10% Ebay bucks promo to buy them but he only had gold ones left. With the promo, the price is about the same.
I was just browsing some more. I got the last two discounted 130s but the 80s are still for sale. $560 each. PM me if you want the website.
