CATCHING / Bufaloe (Sucker ) Fish
« Last post by Wompus Cat on August 04, 2023, 08:27:46 PM »
Nothing to Reely Brag about as most people consider these Rough Fish but Caught this today on a Kastmaster Spoon with a small Chartreuse tail on it . I figure the tail resembled algae or weed as these usually are caught on Dough Bait around here  . Anyway it took about 25 minutes to drag this  in with my Zebco 33 (OLD SOLID METAL ) Reel and 6 ft. Fiber Glass Rod. Measured about 33 inches and prob around 12 to 15  pounds .

PENN REELS / Penn Senator 9/0 115 1940's /50's Restoration
« Last post by Wompus Cat on August 02, 2023, 08:20:17 AM »
Here is an Older 9/0  (not positive but with some of the Characteristics it has I believe to be from 1940's or Early 50's.

 I got this lil Jewell  off E-Bay with some interesting differences in the from the Newer versions I noted.
 It came with a MONSTER Adjustable Handle I have Never seen Before .
Which more than likely led to the problem of the Sleeve being worn Smooth where the handle normally would lock on to it .



Some B 4 photos






Plates ,Rings, Spool Pretty fugged Up!!



Ordered NEW SLEEVE but had some BIG PROBLEMS as the New one was larger inside than the old one and different on the bottom .
The New sleeve is the same part number as the 114H and has a 114 part number but no way it would work ..... It does fit he 114 Bridge Plate though.

The old Sleeve next to the New one you can see the Difference


Old Sleeve id
Even the Handle Nut is Smaller!
 




New Sleeve id 1mm larger!



The retaining pin is even different on these
Old Pin



New Pin


Old vs new



on left is a 114 Bridge plate with the NEW 9/0 sleeve and fits ok
on Right is the old (9/0 and Bridge plate ) Bridge plate is Numbered 115  but new sleeve has 114 number ????


I bought NEW Chrome Rings but had to some Careful Reaming on 2 of the holes on each one to line up with old plates.

Spool Cleaned up pretty well considering the crud that was on it  but here is a sideview of progress so far.


 
No part numbers on Foot,Spool and a few other parts which leads me to believe it is from the 40's.

I made a Mandrel out of a piece of Tool Stock  to reshape the old Sleeve to work (WITHOUT DAMAGING THE THREADS  where it was rounded off. So was able to make it work since the New Sleeve was way too big .

Talking to Mystic on this fitment problem as it ain't good .
More later on this .

Finished .



Spool looks a hundred times Better after hours of hand polishing  (NO VINEGAR )
Use Vinegar if you want to Ruin your parts .

Shakespeare made a lot of 2200 series Reels but most were Spincast Models .
They ALSO made a series of Conventional Reels and Damn Good uns from what I see.
First I have is a 2210 OCEAN PRIDE
About the Size of an Ocean City  112 or Penn 112 .
This is a Well Built 3/0 size Reel with a Free Spool but NO DRAG nor anti Reverse .
They also made a 2220 OCEAN PRIDE  with A/R and Star Drag as well as Quick  a Take-Apart Feature  akin to Ocean City,Penn, Pflueger Reels of the Day But on the opposite side !!
 and a 2230 SURF WONDER REEL also with attributes of the 2220. Will post Pictures and Teardowns  of each in the Near   future .
The 2200 has no code on it however the others are GK making them in the 1941 Range  .

 Logo was below the lever up to early 60's on the larger senators. The 2nd pic isn't crooked logo, it's just the reel sitting sideways. The 9/0 you have that just says "senator" was only on the 9/0 from '36- to '40. All other early senators had model # in the logo

PENN REELS / Re: How old is my Penn Reel ??
« Last post by MAXED OUT on April 27, 2023, 06:55:33 PM »
Here are a few from my collection. I'm on a low budget and most of these have been sold to collectors, and those funds go towards buying more reels.

 Far left is 1959 prototype long beach 60 box. Rest are all pre 1950. Note the slanted title on the labels. Far right is 1941/42 long beach 60 L.S. with correct box. The front right reel is 1942 long beach 66.

 That's a drawer full of Penn handles from days gone by. A magnificent collection such as this doesn't happen overnight. I see a few for 1st gen Penn international reels, also a few large counterbalance handles that are pre mid 50's. WOW !!
