Post by: SNAPPERHEAD on August 30, 2013, 01:32:26 PM
Can someone post a picture of a Penn Spinner(Metal, Preferably a Slammer, SS, or Z Series) with some corrosion on it? I would like to have a picture for reference.

Thanks.

I guess it is hard to find some pictures.

If someone has one though, I would appreciate them posting it.

Thanks!

SnapperHead, Corrosion looks the same on Penn reels and other aluminum reels. You may see  white powdery areas or under paint it can corrode underneath and bubble the paint. Look on ebay at different reels. I guarantee if you look at the pictures you will see some. Handles at the knobs and bails seem to be the most common.    Bob
