PENN REELS / Re: CHINA MADE Penn Senator 113H2 compared to U.S. Made
« Last post by Wompus Cat on March 27, 2025, 08:44:55 PM »
On a Good/Bad Scenario  .
The China Made Penn 113 Sleeve Fitment to Bridge Plate has addition space .
Good as the Originals after time seem to rub against the plate and need to be filed down to keep from grabbing .   
  Bad in that it has a gap allowing debris to get under it .....lol
Here is one that has been  used a while and  shows  some corrosion on the Spool Frame,and posts . The Screws don't seem to have same quality coating as well.

Gap on Sleeve



Corrosion on Screws (Poor Plating)

PENN REELS / Otto Henze used a Montague Rod and an Ocean City Squid Lure? to Get 2nd Place
« Last post by Biggamereels1988 on March 15, 2025, 09:01:28 PM »
2nd Place : "Otto Henze for a fish weighing 52 pounds . Mr. Henze was fishing at Cape Hatteras , North Carolina , on November 22 , using a Montague rod , Penn reel , Hall line and a  metal squid"

I found the above statement in a line on Google Books. Is that metal squid lure the Ocean City one?

I found this on https://waynesreelcollectibles.weebly.com/misc.html .

It shows Otto Henze's autograph as well as the order for his Patents. The best part is the order for the new rubber knobs to replace the old wooden ones.
