show us your T4XN senators

[Brewcrafter]

Here's my family:

The "stock" one is just that - only modifications are a Bryan 5-stack and (not shown) one of Alan's cool Mach 5 handles.  It is loaded with 50# and is pretty much now exclusively a trolling setup here in SoCal.
The only parts on the T4N that are Penn are the ones you can see - everything else aftermarket with 4:1, all SS internals, DD Bridge, and Bryan's 7 stack.  Worked nicely on my 2019 June 8-day.
The T4XN was completed recently, and since I am pretty much homebound until the Covid thing get's figured out it's not spooled yet, but I am sure I will load it with 50# braid and use it for everything from bottom fishing to kelp paddy yellows and everything in between.  It pretty much has every modification that the T4N has, only in a smaller package.  Right now for a handle I scored a "custom" offset 24-349H handle from Randy at Vintage that I like the look and feel of (also longer than the stock 113H handle)

which I am hoping I can find another white 24-349H to modify for the T4N.  If your not hung up on aesthetics Alan's handle is Sweet (which is why it usually live on the troller) - john

  Guys,,,
  Thankyou Thankyou for your replies, awesome photo's of your reels.....
I followed all the links and took note of everyone's ideas on how to spool them, or what to spool them with and of course end use ideas..
It seems these T4XN's are a real versatile reel, with plenty of options to use them...

I'm going to go in the middle with 65lb braid with a 40-50lb mono top shot and just give this thing a good testing  !!!!
The more I play with it, the more I'm seeing it's versatility and liking the feel of this little tank.

Once again thanks all for your feedback,,, as mentioned I was hoping to get on a charter in about 3 weeks, with covid borders coming down in Aussie, we can now go interstate to a young lasses wedding that we thought we were going to miss. It's a beautiful seaside town with close access to reef and to the shelf, Just got to hope the boat is going when we are there, if not, the reel will have to wait till my boat project is back on the water,, but sure would like to give it a testing in a few weeks....

Regards

Col

the narrow spool will take a lot of 65# braid, the 1/3 of the bottom layers might never see the light ever.
I have 80# on mine and I think I could fit around 300yds which are a lot also.

I have 80lb power pro on mine, don't know how much it took but it was a lot. It has all SS stuff inside and the handle is from maxed out.
I fished it twice but didn't hook anything with it

That's nice right there Sheridan,  Gee we have some nice versions of this reel here.

I shall do my best to fully test mine out soon 

Thanks for sharing....  Hope all's well on your side of the ditch

hey compa Sheridan, how you doing it ?
I had my T4N1 reel also with a Ted Handle, those handles/knob assemblies are really comfy and perfect size, I just changed it for the one from Sal because of the unique look and its also really comfy to hold but slippery if you have wet hands, Ted's handle knob are great to use even with wet hands

 found a couple of these kits hiding in my cupboard. No custom parts on hand, so I built a poor mans T4N1. Hope to fish it this summer.

Does anyone recognize this stock Penn blade/knob (no part #) ??

Does anyone recognize this stock Penn blade/knob ??

Is it a Penn 24-300LD with a custom-bent blade?

[Swami805]

I believe it's off a baja special
