Penn Reels - just as you find them

[Maxed Out]

You're right Alan, the yardage capacity seems odd.....we will figure this out one way or another.

Thanks again for posting and hope you're enjoying summer south of the equator !!

400yds 30lb mono is more than fits on 112 chrome spool, and 50yds less than a 113H...no way that all gets on a jiggy, even on a small arbor SS spool. UNLESS its an VOT Super Jiggy from Randy. then maybe.

[Maxed Out]

 You're right on John

The 112 is also larger diameter spool than the jigmaster and the 112 metal spool will obviously have more capacity than a jigmaster spool

Im going out on a limb and assuming this was a good deal at $30 shipped?

Two of these in two weeks aint bad. This one is not at clean as the other but it was $29 shipped LOL

[Darin Crofton]

 Killer deal Chris

These are the reels you show to your wife to remind her that collecting old Penns isn't a waste of money. Make sure to let her know that you could triple your money in a heartbeat if you decided to sell it

Thanks guys!
This early 6/0 just got off the mail truck. Im not sure what year, pre-war I think, but I love the handle.

[Maxed Out]

Others may not agree, but I'd say pre war....coin edge cb, drilled arbor are both from that era and 6/0 ain't an easy find as far as pre war Penns go....nice one Chris

I just made up my mind to go buy all the NIB Penn V's I can get and sit on them til I retire. Chris, John, Mike, and Deepfins have cornered the "interesting to Thorhammer to own old stuff" market.


PS I got that same green 109 on a rod for $20 at a flea mkt-HA!


Gents, in all seriousness, please keep the pics rolling-it's pretty attainable if one is willing to spend some cash and learn to build a hot rod- but this stuff you folks are doing here lately what with historical provenance is awesome... you have to be positioned to be in the way of it, with a healthy dose of luck...

That handle is awesome!

I just saw a couple of those green Penn 109's on the auction site listing for $150....not in nearly as good of shape as these!

[Benni3]

My dad got this for me at a yard sale $5 with cat fish rod just like to know about what year

[1badf350]

Heck of a deal! Great score!
