PENN SURFMASTER 70 PARTS

#1 Post by nicki d »

Hi all. My Penn 70 spool wont go up and down, I opened it up and saw the pin that goes into the grove to push the spool up and down has broke.
Does anyone have one or know who does.
Best Regards
Nick

they were probably the newer versions, the older ones 60 and 70 were a very good reel
