I could be wrong but I feel like this is the same green used on the green 4/0 in the penn headquarters. Mike or anybody can you confirm?

I believe you are correct Chris.

x2, I saw it in person as well, at the same time Sal did, actually! I think Martha Henze had a green reel that sold in the big auction in the early 2000s, that was another Senator, I think, but I think the same color.

It's possible, Chris but, to tell that would take a look at the insides of both of the reels side plates (tony you wanna crack that thing open for us ;D.)  The one in the factory doesn't look like it's seen much sunlight and is very shiny is why I say that. They both are a dark "hunter green."
No matter what I say SCORE!

QuoteThank you guys very much! This is a different color green than we are used to seeing on the later monofills and Peer reels. I could be wrong but I feel like this is the same green used on the green 4/0 in the penn headquarters. Mike or anybody can you confirm?


This color looks to be very early. Long before the Monofils. I feel this reel is one of the special order reels that were being used for the rental businesses at the California Piers. Sort of like the green used on this late 1930's Sea Ford.

Somebody please tell me Stay-in-Place madness has finally hit me.

I have an XN Squidder that looked like it had the same bolt patterns as the Monofil 26 plates (I know I'm not the first to discover this) but would it be sheer stupidity and/or madness to build a mini little rank using the extremely awesome looking green plates of a Monofil? Thinking gold Squidder frame, but is there a spool that will fit that frame but made for bushings?

I would think a 29M-100 (Surfmaster 100) spool would fit.

I may have to grab one to play around with. Thank you for the suggestion

First step is to restore to original beauty with new chrome parts, then maybe just play around to see what's in the realm of possible.

   That frame is the extra narrow Squidder...you'll need the P16 Squidder frame and the Surfmaster 100 spool.

What spool would you use with the XN frame?

If i use the Monofil  plates with a new frame I would stick with the P16 frame. I just pulled the XN frame from my XN Squidder that was readily accessible in the house to see what it could look like.
Now I'm thinking I will look for as close to perfect as possible 65 stand and spacer bars.

   Sorry Nick, I see now what you meant, blame it on the bourbon. :D
