I found an old Squidder and I'm curious of it's age? I don't see a number on the seat, but there's some chrome loss where the number would be. There's a # on the handle, but not the star. It's my first black plate Squidder and mechanically is sound, so I'm pleased with the $20 price to
own such a cool little piece of Penn history!

Better check that- the 320 fits the 113H size gear sleeve, Type "B". The 310 fits the smaller Type "A" sleeve of the 210, Jiggy and a hundred other small Penn's. It's an "S" for stainless- not a 5.


Very happy with the switch to 24S-310's on my Mag 10's.

Ruh Roh!

I just got back from the post office  :D

Anthony, if that handle doesn't fit, save it for another project.  The clamp and hardware should be good though  ;D

Thank you! Worst case I just have to buy a reel to go with it (oh darn  ;D )

Penn and Pflueger nutjob!

Eyes out for: Pflueger Rocket, vintage 4-1 ratio or better spinning reels (especially metal-bodied and ultralight!)

That handle would be perfect on a pro gear 545. It's jigmaster 501 with 113h guts

Checked Mystic parts, the 10 has the mag. control, not the 210.
Fishing tackle is an art form and all fish caught on the right tackle are"Gfish"!

   I picked up some reels, yesterday, at the "campground garage sale".......the Gal wanted $4 a piece, for them....except for the Shimano....that was $5. 209's aren't my favorite Penn reels, but I was happy to get the "fresh water" seat that was on one of them. Both spinners were bound up with line, under the spools, and all 3 of the Penns are drier than a fart, but are pretty "clean", as far as corrosion goes. I *should* have gotten the other two reels she had in the box, too....a pair of Garcia 5000's.....but decided to pass.......lots of boat rash on them, although the red one would have looked pretty good in my colleection :-\. Maybe I'll see if the gal still has them, and make her a "counter offer" :-\ ::).
    Anyway, $21 bucks for these 5 seemed a pretty good buy :-\. I'd been wanting a "bigger" bait feeder reel , and now I have one :D
There's nothing wrong with a few "F's" on your record....Food, Fun, Flowers, Fishing, Friends, and Fun....to name just a few !

Hope you checked the rear view mirror on the way home because you stole them....Bill
It may not be very productive,
but it's sure going to be interesting!

after all these years, i still have not found a good way to clean off all of that patina.  i've finally give up and i just use the wire brush wheel on the bench grinder.  it's a medium wire brush, all worn, and greasy to boot!  it leaves a matte finish, tears off all of the corrosion, there is plenty of exposed brass but the surface has a thin layer of grease on it.  there are just too many reels stacked up to take the time to polish them.  it's not the best solution, but it is fast...... 
send me an email at alantani@yahoo.com for questions!
