It is basically new. Sat in a guys attic forever in the box, or so I am told.

For my Christmas present the boss said I could buy a reel, thinking for a minute Randy Pauly came to mind, initially looking for a 1/0 or 3/0, Randy sold me on a non-numbered 10/0. Gotta say he is one heck of a salesman  ;). I can't say enough good things about him, class act all the way.  Shipping was faster than ever, especially considering the holiday season.  The reel was all he promised, not looking for a mint condition reel, but something that will fit in with my other non-numbered Senators.  This is a second generation, coin edged counter balanced handle with a three piece spool.  And this didn't have one of those darn rockcod handles  ;D. Thank you Randy!  Bill
It may not be very productive,
but it's sure going to be interesting!

That is a fantastic find. The 707 is a tough find in any condition! It was made from 1975 to 1977 and sold in limited numbers in those few years. Beautiful reel!

Randy Pauly is kind of amazing. Where else are you going to go on the planet and ask for a 1940's / 1950's Penn Senator 116A---10/0 with original parts and a certain patina. Only one guy can satisfy those wants at a moments notice and get it shipped out to you in time for a holiday. Great reel!

I found these on local craigslist. A Jigmaster and a 149 . Both reels for $15...
The Jigmaster looks very sad on the exterior but when cracked open it was pristine inside.
The 149 was much better on the exterior, haven't looked in side yet...

Cool
I would rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6...

Thanks Chris haven't ever seen one of them and in such good condition.
Please share how you managed to age the box to 1957-59.

According to Mike's book thats when the boat fishing scene existed on the label.

Thanks for info Chris. That makes sense then as the reel contains numbered parts.

I keep an eye out on local Craigslist and OfferUp sites. If your diligent some great deals can be had. I just picked up this 14/0 reel this morning. I don't know that it will ever see water in my hands but I had to have it... and the price was right . On a side note, I can't figure out how to post pics from the gallery and have them show up as a pic and not a link... can y'all help a brutha out ?
