Q uestions

A:  We reduced the images to keep the file size smaller.
To adjust printing so that image comes out full size when you print:
At the top of the ADOBE Acrobat Reader is a menu.
Select "File", then "Print".
An options screen comes up.
To the right is a box that says "Copies and Adjustments".
Make sure that the boxes in that section are all checked off as shown in sample shown in image below.
Then hit the "OK" button and schematic will print correctly. >

A:  PENN has changed some series part numbers over the years. Sometimes they dropped a name off, or they changed something about the reel, such as a spool. Some samples of the ones commonly asked about are below:
EACH SET IS THE SAME REEL:
9, 9M, Peerless
109, 109M
285, 285M, Delmar
350, 350M

A: 

Notes on searching Penn part numbers We use Penn's original formatting for all our part numbers in the catalog. Most customers will be working off of older schematics (reels 1930's and forward) which have the original formatting. Penn switched to a computerized format around 2000. Sample computerized format: 039 009 as found on newer schematics. SEARCH in our online system: 39-9 as found on the older schematics. SKU = The reel model# in which the part is used.

A:  If you are trying to RESTORE a reel to it's original condition for collection purposes: NO. We do not have any off the 700 series parts in Green.

If you are trying to repair the reel to WORKING condition: YES. See the 704-722z series reels in the spinning section, the parts are compatible.

A:  NO. The few that we did have went fairly fast. If we do get hold of them, we post them on E-bay or we list them in the PennParts section of the catalog, under Antique Dept.

A:  NO. We only carry the parts manufactured by Penn Fishing Tackle, Inc. You can see a list of folks you can get other parts from by going to our Contact Info page.

A:  Yes, with exceptions. We carry the parts manufactured by Penn Fishing Tackle, Inc. The only exceptions are a handful of parts, which are all marked as to who manufactured them or marked as aftermarket. For example, we have a couple of gear sleeves by Alan Tani.
