About every three years, I send the Penn reels off to Penn for a dusting and cleaning, during which any worn parts are replaced. That's an impressive maintenance regime Harold, very impressive. All you need now is a boat. I have a 30 year old Penn 6/0 sal****er reel that I carry around with us. It has never had any maintenance at all and still works just fine. In the last week it has caught 4 Mahi Mahis, a Bonito and a Tuna, all but one on pink and white Rattle Jet lures. The Rattle Jets are just about the most effective fish magnets I've ever used. http://www.basspro.com/C-H-Lures-Rattle-Jet-Sal****er-Lure-Rigged/product/8221/-952717 My only complaint with the Penn is that it does not hold enough line. Something big hit it a few days ago north of Palm Beach and spooled out 200 yards of 120 pound mono, against the drag, within about 30 seconds. Hit and run attack, wish I'd caught a glimpse of it. North Atlantic Boomer..... More likely, he snagged something on the bottom. |

We had something hit a cedar plug last year south of the Turks and Caicos in over 1000 ft of water. It almost spooled out the reel but snapped the leader just as I cranked the drag down full on. |
