Reels of the Past and Some Still Here > PENN REELS
Suggestions on Penn Reels to 'refurbish' and what should I pay for them?
gt2003:
After taking apart and servicing the PENN 350 Leveline and the Ocean City 112 (before Wompus Cats improvements), what are some good Penn models for me to refurbish and what are some good price points for them? This has become quite fun for me so I thought I'd track down a project or two and see how they come out. I know there are quite a few on eBay but I also see them regularly listed on my local facebook marketplace. Thanks in advance.

ANY OLDER PENN ....lol\
AND as far as Price ,,,,thats a Tuffy as I pay too much for what I want but try to compare past sales on e-bay to judge worth.
I loathed Penns til I started talking to Ted (MAXED OUT) and saw all you can do to them with all the HOT ROD parts you can get for them . Just start buying them you will see .
You ain't a Reel Builder till you build a Senator 113 with all the GOODIES ....lol
Long Beach,Squidders, Jigmasters, Beachmasther Peers, and Gobs more .
Ted knows em all .
Going to start posting some Customized Penns in the NEW Board Ted suggested soon .

For Ocean City , I like the ones like you have but my Favorite is the 922 and 923 . Quite a REEL and overlooked by many

Geeze Henry, nice harem of 113H you have there. It's nice to be able to upgrade your reel and have it be unique to any other. The 113H has more upgrade options than any other reel on the planet
Well, I'll go a little off the beaten path here. One of the most overlooked and under appreciated Penn reels is the 309. It has Jigmaster 500 main gear and long beach 60 pinion, for a 3/1 gear ratio. This makes it stronger than a 4/1 jigmaster. The 309 is well built and fishes great as stock configuration, but there are a few options for upgrades. Handle assembly, steel gear sleeve, seat, and aluminum spool. I stick with the good old USA made 309's. If it's china made, it wont say "made in USA" on the tailplate. A really nice 309 can be had on eBay for $25-35. Parts for the 309 are easy to locate, swo no worries about it becoming obsolete
The red one shown here is one I dreamed up. The black one is bone stock and really nice condition and came with original box for $26+8 shipping(eBay)
Mad Max
P.S. spellcheck still never heard of a jigmaster

Ok, I think I'll start with a 309 and see how that goes. Not sure I need another hobby but I sure do like tinkering with reels. Thanks Gentlemen!
