Ted has an amazing eye for the reels that look like crud, but it's just caked on oil/ grease and gunk.  He take a towel and makes them new again.
Beautiful reels, Ted

If you're not finding good deals on eBay, then you ain't looking hard enough. Most the reels I get from eBay are auction format and if a reel goes beyond my price point, I'll let someone else have it and wait for another to come along.

 Here are just a few that came from eBay in the last 2 months. Average price for this group is about $43 each, even the anniversary reel.....Actually have exactly $30.50 total into that one......Yep, you're right Mo, no deals on eBay if you're waiting for one to fall in your lap. The best reels are the ones you gotta search for.  ;D ;D

      This is something I've been wondering about...as my brother and I seem to get totally different reels in our searches. He'll send me a link to something I never even saw in my search, and vise versa. Killer deal Benni3! 8)

There certainly is no shortage of 115s out there. Mike, what are you looking for? If you end up finding one near me in Palm Beach County I'd happily pick it up and ship it out to you.

I keep thinking about buying a Penn 4/0 just because I can.  I wanted one badly as a teen but had to make do with a hand-me-down Olympic.  The shame of it all.

That's funny Steve. I have a entire collection of reels that I own because I can. When I was a kid I felt special just being able to have a Penn 155 with a matching surf rod. Things were a little tight in the 1950's.

Hi All

Just got hold of a Penn Jig-Master 500 with a Bakelite narrow spool.
Some part numbers:
Handle 24-49
Stand 30-49
Non-handle side bearing 40-60
Handle screw 23-60
Star drag wheel 10-60
Spool = 43.3mm or 1.7inches

Was wondering if anyone could help with any info on the reel. What I have found is the narrow Jigmaster is the 501- is that on the sideplates ?
As per reel schematics the "Fine tooth star drag, older reels take a 10-60".
Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Regards AC49
