QuoteThis 710 was a local buy. Box has some issues but I believe this is a time capsul reel that has never been used.

great reel. Very tough to fiind NOS like that. These were usually heavily used. The spools on these are different than all the other Greenies. Careful with them, they will break if over stressed. Seeing one with the sticker still on it is rare.

Very nice. Root beer - foot ball handle and all. It looks to be two tone. Is it part wood?

Wow, that's a heck of a bonus Chris!

Looks like you're on your way for the first generation complete collection, or maybe you're already there :).
Nice reels!

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

Whoa...  Gotta love those striped torpedos.  Seems the knobs had more character and variety in the earliest days then became more simple and homogeneous as time went on.

I like the BONUS reel better than the 6/0 1st gen !! The 4/0s seem harder to come by. Another 500 reels and you will have all the Penn's !   Lol     Nice find !    John Taylor

Thanks guys, I'm particularly proud to own these two because they belonged to Ray Hodges.

Let me know if you ever find a second generation 4/0. The smaller reels came in the same configuration from the beginning.

Dang, it's the 3/0 and smaller that never changed configuration? Sorry Chris, some of the things that were crystal clear in my mind just a year or two ago have started to get a little foggy, I guess. I never wish to be a source of misinformation, I apologize.

Got an older Penn 9/0 for $ 60 (Ted said it was a good price) including shipping. Looks like it was never used but there was some pitting on one side of the spool, one ring and the top of the seat other than that it was clean especially the internals. A little cleaning replaced the three stack drag with a five and but it back together, put it on an old fenwick to play with. With that three piece spool will it be OK to spool half full with braid and they fill with mono ??
