Hi Chris,
I just checked - all my 4/0's have that same length handle - 41/2 inches - even my 3/0.
That plain counter weight seems to have been introduced in 1941 - its common on the seagates, Long beaches and Delmars. Perhaps a Penn employee rivetted one on a Senator handle because ....................... well - why not?
It's that hand made variability that I find quite appealing with Penn reels.
As you can see, I am well and truly down the rabbit hole!!
Martin
Thanks Martin!

Hey Martin,
I must have you mixed up with one of the other "Big Boy" collectors out there.
Beautiful collection ya got there and I have a feeling there are many more.
Thanks for the info on the transition reels. I knew some things about them but now I have a better handle on things. Looks like it's you, Mike and Ted now.
Hold it down my patriarchal pals,

PS- I still think it's a 3/0 handle and stand. 8)

Great info Martin and thank you Ted for the Brian info. No one put it together like Brian did.

Hi There,
Thank you Ted for the help - very much appreciated. My problem, in my mid 60's, is a bit like Homer Simpsons - for me to remember new stuff, first I have to forget some old stuff to make room!! When I can get a quiet day I will take photos of my 4/0's and post them here.

Good for you.  what's on the rest of the list.  Those old reels are too rich for my blood.  Dominick
Leave the gun.  Take the cannolis.

There are two things I don't like about fishing.  Getting up early in the morning and boats.  The rest of it is fun.

Granted, the two Ks came from Brian Purrone, and I cannot claim I searched hard for them.
