Found the forum while trying to locate replacement parts for one of my Penn spinning reels.
The amount of knowledge and information here is incredible.
I'm a retired machinist and love to work on quality machinery, especially old ones that still providing excellent service.(Penn reels)
I'll probably ask a lot of dumb questions but bear with me I am a fast learner.
I'm going through a 420ss now with intentions of using it for sea trout in obx this fall.
Thanks Retired lathe man.

Welcome aboard, RLM!

Lots of Penn guys on here who wish they were machinists (I'm one who wishes).

Glad to have you.

alantani,I,m looking for a drag knob for my 420ss and maybe a spare spool.
I have looked high an low with no luck.
The reel is in great shape otherwise,probably a detail strip,good cleaning and fresh lube and it will be ready to fish.
