Title: PENN 80
Post by: gt2003 on May 04, 2022, 10:03:05 AM

This is a reel I bought as part of a 3 reel combined purchase.  It turns very smoothly now so I expect to find that it's very dry inside.  I've got it broken down so now it's time to clean it up and put it back together.  Here are some pics of the reel so far:

Thanks Henry.  Got this one, an OC Brigantine knucklebuster and a Shakespeare 1905 Deuce Knucklebuster so I'm just taking them one at a time!  This one is super smooth already but needs some cleaning and relubrication.  MAYBE I can get a start on it this weekend.
