320GT Design Change for Worm/Line Guide System

Price: $0.00

  • SKU320GT

IMPORTANT CHANGE FOR
320GT Reel

Redesign of Worm/Line Guide System.

Penn redesigned the worm, line guide and bearings, replacing the design on the original run of reels (early 1980s).

HOW TO TELL IF YOUR REEL HAS THE OLDER SYSTEM:
The most distinguishing feature is the BLACK PLASTIC LINE GUIDE.
The second is that the older 50-320 worm shield was closed off on the ends, using in different bearings than the newer reels. Both versions use the same pawl #47-975.

How do you tell which version you have?

The quickest way to tell if you have an original run reel or one made after the design changes is to look at the line guide itself. The original line guide is made of black plastic. The newer line guide is all metal.

Converting

Converting to the new design is completely optional. The older system will work. You might have to make the conversion only if we run out of older parts and you need one that's missing for repairs. You can use this page as a reference to order the parts from the NEWER system only, via the links above.

12/21/2023 Got it! Its perfect. Thank you so much. It was just on a whim that I even searched for this part. Hard to believe that I could get a reel part for a reel that is 30 plus years old. Thanks again,
