OCEAN CITY REELS (WHERE Penn Got It's Begining) / Re: OCEAN CITY FAR KAST REEL
« Last post by oldmanjoe on March 04, 2023, 11:09:50 AM »
 I Thank you for the link .     I was doing a little fishing to see if there was any interest in the far cast .
   I just found one that i could not pass up !       There seem to be little information on the break down of this reel , mainly the cast control system .
    I will post up some notes for a tear down , the crank side is pretty simple Ocean City .

     I started by removing the crank side first ,  this will allow me to remove the spool first and get a peek at the left side pate .
   There is a hinge screw that you remove from the cross bar that allows you to remove the beauty ring and line control bar   so the spool can come out .
    Now you can see the little spring that is hooked from bar to adjusting cam .       A little push on the spring and lift off the on the cam side .
   
   Now you can remove the left side plate .    I feel this is the best approach .      IF     I removed the left side plate first , i may have stretched or wrecked the little spring  and loose a little adjustment on the cast control dial .       Some pictures .    The rest of the reel is the basic clean up and reassembly .

PENN REELS / The Penn Daiwa partnership
« Last post by MAXED OUT on February 16, 2023, 11:00:24 PM »
 Yes, no lie. Penn and Daiwa formed a partnership in the early 60's. Daiwa made the parts, and shipped to Penn for assembly. These Penn spin casters were built, boxed and stored away in a back room at the Penn factory. Several years later a few did escape and make it into circulation, but Daiwa still had parts to make more, so they were painted different colors and rebranded as a Daiwa reel. These Daiwa reels were only sold in Japan. The early versions of these Daiwa reels even came with a cloth pouch that proudly confirms the Penn/Daiwa connection. My thoughts are these are very much a worthy addition to a Penn collection. Knowing what to look for is half the battle

 Huge thanks to Mike Cacioppo for his time and dedication for the documentation of the history of Penn reels. Do yourself a favor and buy Mike's Penn History book. We affectionately call it the Penn Bible. More widely known as the blue book. A 2nd yellow book that has copies of every page of every catalog from 1932-1957. The green book helps with identifying reels and has a comprehensive price guide. I own all 3 and I constantly reference them for my own inquiries about Penn reels
