Penn Senator Tutorials and Questions / 1/0 Assembly Numbers?
Last post by Dunk - Today at 07:08:58 AM


I was taking apart a 1/0 Senator i got on eBay and noticed the number 2 on spool and both side plates. I haven't seen numbers inside my other senators. Did Penn use assembly numbers or maybe the previous owner marked it for some reason?

Still spots open.
The season is shaping up to be one for the record books.
Only 18 people on a 65 foot boat that fishes charters only 95-percent of the time.

Quote from: MACflyer on May 01, 2026, 06:23:12 PMMaybe Fuji 033 Flat Dark Earth might be close if the manufacture doesn't have your color.

My mistake. Fuji Secret Squirrel 030 looks a lot closer. 033 looks a little greenish.

I think the one on the right looks more like it,no sheen.

When I click on the right photo it gets rotated to the top(I addressed that on website issues already)

The thread typically darkens when finish is applied, especially regular nylon. It can be hard to get an exact match on older rods because the thread has weathered a bit
I think it's gudebrod 832 regular nylon that will darken
It could also be 541 ncp. It's hard to tell

I have no idea if its nylon or ncp Swami.I can look at Walmart Jason & see maybe take a small sample.

Swami what if I sent you a piece to match up? I looked on ebay this may be close tan #290?
