Pick up a couple of Penn 10/0 cheap the other day on gumtree, I clean them up and put in the collection.

Nice find...they look like first generation. And in good shape too.  Bill
It may not be very productive,
but it's sure going to be interesting!

Brother Bill, 1st Gen. they are not, but still fun to own a couple extra 10/0's. ::)
Enjoy them,

Hi Kim, I like your two 10/0 senators, you could fish with one, I think they are the same diameter as the 12/0, but a little easier to manage, nice find.
      A mate gave me an old Delmar 285M box not long ago, & I brought a reel today, a mate picked it up East of Perth WA, I may not get it till mid December.
     this Box has the last price $8:50 on it, not to sure if that is US$ or Aussie Dollars, can anyone tell me when they were first Made.
      I also had a Penn 160 given to me last week, the 160 is narrower than the Penn 155 I have, I was expecting it to be the other way around, cheers Don.

A little crusty but nice 10/0's.  Do they have aluminum spools? Hard to tell in the picture
Do what you can with that you have where you are

They are metal spools they didn't make 10/0 with aluminium spools but it would of good if they did .thanks everyone for your replies.

Still crusty but now shiny crusty not to bad for a $50 reel

Fifty is a steal for that reel- AD, USD or even English pounds...
