Title: Dads reel
Post by: Swampfox on August 18, 2025, 11:45:03 PM
Just finished my dad's old Senator 9/0. I can't wait to catch something with it in honor of him. Before and after. Everything has been done to it that I know of double dogs, one piece frame, 7 carbon fiber drag washers, gomexus aluminum handle, SS gears, and SS gear sleeve.

That's a turnaround. Even shined up the plates. You did papa proud. Now go make him jealous.

Clean them really good, and then black shoe polish and buff it.

Swampfox, how much money did all the Penn 9/0 upgrades cost?

Have you caught any fish in it yet?

Ain't been long had it done, and haven't had a chance to get on the water yet. I'm hopefully will after the first week of deer archery season. Mods cost roughly $300.

Well spent money to turn Dad's Penn 9/0 into a sea monster killer machine.
