I notice the guys in this forum seem to really dig Penns.
Scattergun you can look up all the line capacity, weight, etc. of all Penn reels at mysticparts.com or just get your scale & ruler out. The internet contains a lot of information. All the reel companies put out all the information you are seeking.

Yeah that`s the way I remember it.
Mark, almost all the reels come from Asia except some of the high end stuff now.

yeah but why tell me about scales and rulers?
You ask questions about reels you say you have but don't know how to find out for yourself. Are you making a shopping list for Santa to give to Mom & Dad? ;D

Where did I say I had the reel?
750SS weighs 25.5 oz. No offense, but a simple Google search will get just about any information you want to know about Penn reels. Penn information, unlike a lot of other older spinning reels, is quite easy to find.

Hey Bill, did you ever get that Baja I sold you up and running?
GA Mike
Mike, running like a top......was able to extract the screws, got a spool, couple dogs and pinion, havent fished it yet but feels real good in the hands. Was debating on what to do with the index posts for the bridge (maybe drill all the way through and expoxy some brass posts in place, but with the gear sleeve bearing lending support will give it a try as is) I will eventually get the CC bridge for it at sometime.

True now. But the designed and made in Japan reels are what moved the market. The highest end stuff comes from Asia now too.
