Title: Penn 9/0 Senator spool help
Post by: GORDASKIPPER on April 04, 2026, 03:30:45 PM
Of course, I have an echeded spool on my old Senator. I thought to start here and see if anyone has an old one that's in decent shape. I am trying to help a kid out who's getting into shark fishing. Or direct me otherwise. And yes, I looked on eBay; all the reels have a line hiding the spool.

Can you explain better what the problem is with the spool?

Is it a ball bearing or bushing model?
