Fishing season is coming, be ready.Vintage Penn reel in new condition. It has been professionally taken apart, cleaned and new oil and grease to all the parts, gears etc.... You can see by one of the pictures.Then all the bolts and nuts reconditioned and polished. The shaft and all other exterior components cleaned and polished. The shaft is not the plastic but the real thing, metal. It is extremely smooth. This reel is better then when it came out of the box. Any avid fisherman will appreciate this reel. I am in Blackburn Hamlet.
