Hello, been lurking for month or so, saw that it was a good site, so decided to join
Family all from Tennessee & Kentucky, Live in Kansas now, but have lived from Kaneohe, HI to Neptune Beach, FL and many points between
Main reels are Penn (Made In USA), Abu Garcia (Made in Sweden) & Mitchell (Made in France)
Casting (non level wind), casting (level wind) & Spinning
Newest acquisition is a Penn 113HN Baja Special, should be here next week
Planning on servicing an older 309 as soon as new drag washers & other supplies get here
I'll be looking at the 209 rebuild tutorial, didn't see one specifically for the 309
Hope questions if needed so early, won't be frowned upon

Welcome aboard treidm. Must compliment you on your choice of reels. The 209 and 309 rebuilds are similar. Wealth of information on here,if in doubt, just ask. ;D
welcome! sorry it took so long to get you registered. still not sure what the hang up was, but i'm glad you made it! ;D
Welcome from northern California. Yep, just ask and you should get a serious answer most of the time. ;D
Welcome aboard Reid. :)
Welcome. I have only been a member for less than week. Totally refreshing and family like. Still going thur all the info here.
aloha hope you enjoy
Welcome Reid!
Hey Reid... questions and answers are welcome here (without catching flack, too!) ... I'm a Penn man myself ;)
Welcome,
Dom
Thanks for the welcomes!
Short note:
Have always done the easier maintenance on my reels
Previously though, any serious work or modifications was done by a reelsmith
I now want to attempt doing all of the work myself
Buying and light modifications of parts, but no heavy machining
So this is the main reason I was happy to stumble in
But I'm afraid that what tips, tricks or knowledge I may have, will be far overshadowed by what I glean from you all
So thanks in advance for the brain food!
