Gfish is it possible your DL65 mirrors the 3/0 senator build style where there are a couple hidden screws under the rings?

   That Deluxe 65 is actually the predecessor of the 3/0 Senator.

Can't pay too much for a good one -- or too little for a rough one...

Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.

Wish Penn made more reels in this lipstick red color. I always wondered why they only did the 27 in this color

   Same here Ted, especially since it doesn't show up cracked as many times as the green and grey Monofils. I hate that the Coloramic Monofils only lasted a few years. Then they went right back to that old mud/brown/maroon watcha-call-it! :D  I see the more common red maroon a lot, and an occasional black Monofil. Are the black ones kinda scarce?

 Not sure about the black monofil reels Mo

 Penn kinda pulled a fast one on everyone by "introducing" reels specially made for monofilament line. The monofil 25 is an exact duplicate of a 155, just different label. The monofil 26 is duplicate of a 160, and the 27 is a re-labeled 180. All 3 had been around since prior to the war and continued to overlap with the monofil, even though they were exact same reel. I've rebuilt a couple grey monofil by using a 155 as a donor reel. Its the affordable way to get yourself a nice grey 25 without spending lots of dough.

This "anniversary" 6/0 fell in my lap last week.
