Title: Penn International 70VS and Penn International 70 Big Game Special difference?
Post by: endorphin on November 29, 2012, 03:06:58 PM
What is the difference in Penn International 70VS and Penn International 70 Big Game Special? Thanks
Do all the Penn International 70 Big Game Special model clickers make the same strange (Non Penn) noise?

The main shaft breaks down different, I had my BGS apart but didn't take photos.  The gear shift is different and I think the BGS is a lower gear ratio in low but I'm not 100% sure.  The clickers are the same.

Hi Keta,
I just send you an email with the recording of my 70 with clicker off and on. Please let me know if it sounds different.
Thanks,
Jeroen

It sounds a bit gritty and might need to be cleaned.
