Title: FTH25NLD and FTH25NLD2 gold/red parts interchangeable?
Post by: HBEnfield on July 08, 2021, 11:28:49 PM
If I were to get a wild hair and decide to switch out the gold accent parts (spool, handle and lever drag) on my FTH25NLD2 with those same parts from a single speed so that my reel has red accents, are those all a drop in perfect fit?

I've checked parts schematics online and they have different part numbers to differentiate the different colors so I can't be sure the parts are exactly the same except for the color accents.

Thanks in advance!

If you get no reply here consider posting on Stripers Online as PENN has an active service board there. Any PENN question can be definitively answered there.

I just went back and forth between the two schematics and it appears to be cosmetic differences
