Penn Reels - just as you find them

[Shark Hunter]

Found this old relic a few months back on the big auction site for $32.50 total  

Now that is a Deal! Good work Ted.

[Maxed Out]

I kinda promised myself I would slow down on buying old Penns from the big auction site. "Look but don't touch" works most the time .......My plan "B" motto is don't hesitate to buy if the price is beyond rediculously low..... this time it is a full newell "99" jigmaster 500s with stock all steal internals. It might have been gently used once or twice, but who cares for $14.95 and $9.75 shipping. Seller had it advertised as a plain old 500s

So it got here and it does match, but my phone camera flash isnt near as good. Bonus find, when i went to put it on the display shelf i realized i had another one with the exact same mottling. Its bad when you forget you have stuff.

  Good deal ! An aluminum spool usually sells for more than that !

It is not nice to take advantage of the Feeble Minded sellers............ That is the steal of the year...............!!

This one arrived yesterday as well. I hate to cross post like this, since Mike C and I have a conversation going in the Penn Vintage section.

Do you hear sirens??

I've found that a lot of sellers don't recognize the 99 width Jigmasters.  It can be hard to tell with the Newell spool because the width difference is not very much, but a sharp eye on the photos can catch it

[1badf350]

This one showed up today. Thats all i got for now so I'll stop posting

[broadway]

Good luck finding better eyes than Ted ...and Ray for that matter.
Awesome score Ted... that's a heck of a light weight reel that can be pushed to the limits with some SS internals.
Congrats,
Dom

That is so true.

Jigmaster 99 width on the right, Jigmaster 500 width on the left.

Penn 155. Nice rings and handle. New stack.
$12.99 shipped.
The stand has some slight corrosion, but it is going to get narrowed, so it doesn't matter.
The rings are what I look at. They are hard to find like this.

How many of 'those' spools do you have stashed lol?
