Re: For Sale - Salt Water fishing reels etc.
Penn 49 reels are really old school. Well built but with low retrieve ratios. The heavy if aluminium/ steel and narrow spool is tricky to cast with whilst the old bakelite spools explode under severe pressure. These are no longer in production but spares shouldn't be an issue. Older anglers swear by them but I just swear at them
The Jigmaster or Penn 500 is a versatile "all purpose" reel still manufactured today although QC can be sketchy on modern units as they are made in China and have been for quite a few years. Much easier to cast than the 49 though. You still have the issue of a low retrieve ratio but on the flipside these reels are almost indestructible especially once fitted with an alu spool. It utilises Penn's HT100 drag washers that are known for durability and with modern braided lines you can load a lot of line. Needless to say spares are a non-issue.

Dibs on the fly stuff, please. Assuming you're willing to split. Still waiting on the WhatsApp.
