Penn reels

Hi Gary, you are talking about the Penn Squidder 140? If I remmber right isn't it a surf casting reel up class from the 200 surfmaster, please correct me if i'm wrong, I have a Penn Squidder 140 and found with the large spool it is a pain to thumb the line on, that is where the level winds have it made, well any way you like it, you can't go wrong with Penn just my Opinion, just have fun

Penn reels for Gary

A great Reel from Penn and my personal favorite is the JIGMASTER 500 or 500L as they are now called has a 4:1 ratio and about the same line capacity as 140L, so when you fish in deep water it don?t where you out, and I have used it for Blues, Bass, Blacks, Ling, Cod, I always went for the faster ratios, If you miss and have to reel in to rebait it could be a long day of reeling with 8 or 12 oz. of lead, I have both of the reels mentioned for over 30 years, and they both still work like new, it?s the old story if you take care of it, it will take care of you, Ok Gary I stand corrected the Penn Squider is now the 140L and the Jigmaster is 500L, I?m still old school.

Note: My Garcia Mitchell 302 is made in France, sorry my 306 and 300 is not around
