My 600A that has done plenty rockcod /bottomfishing duty out of Morro Bay and most definitely has a standard chrome/steel spool.  It is on a light duty inshore bottom fishing outfit.  Yes, it is cracked.  Other than that it works just fine on the Kencor 4' rod I have it on.  - john

My guesses: The ad is targeted to an American market since it mentions of American fish species. They may have been jumping on the red trend of the time (following the Ambassadeur's). And/or chasing the popularity of the Penn reels. Possibly they weren't produced for long?

I had a white one with a broken plastic spool, the decal was missing, so I was not sure what model it was, so I gave it to a mate for part, cheers Don.

Mystery solved!  :)

The stickers might become more valuable than the reels at some point.  Who has a roll of those?
