Title: Penn Tiny 716 Greenie
Post by: foakes on June 20, 2025, 09:39:42 PM
Picked this up a few days ago, along with a few others.

Got a large storage bin of worthwhile spinning reels down on the floor next to the main bench.  Penns, DAM Quicks, Mitchell's, ABU/Zebco Cardinals, and a few Daiwa Minis.

In between parts being cleaned, I take a few minutes to maybe do a few of these a week that will be offered to members.

I have always thought that the gold spool, crank handle, and black knobs looked much better on the greenies.  Plus they match the sideplate badge.

Original is silver and white.

I went to Roosevelt High School, where our school colors were green & gold.

Best, Fred
