Wanted: Penn Int 975 levelwind.
 

Yes, I know the issues with them, thats ok. :D

I'm some people would be more than happy to part with theirs.

:rocketem:

Yah yah Mike. :D
That reminds me, need to have you switch the tip top on my 10 foot Daiwa SealineX to a ceramic one of these days... found a ding in the metal tip.

got plenty of them bring it by.

i have a 965 that is doing nothing, sorry it's not a 975.

Thanks for the 965 Slip, I think its gonna replace one of my other reels (been playing with it between the rain and hail).

Still looking for a 975.

what kind of condition are you looking for and around what price are you looking spend?

Actually, out of all the penn reels I own these have held up the best (besides the 50W's). I don't cast with them but put on some PP braid and you have a great fluke reel IMO. All they get is a rinse off and annual service and fresh line each season. They are light and have enough power for deep bottom fishing. I would not get one for surfcasting but I suppose it could be ussed that way. The only issue I have is "the button" could be better designed. I would not buy another one (would get the small gold shimano levelwind) but I think these work good for bottom fishing.

PM details of what you got, thanks. :D

I think they work great as long as you know how to care for a Penn International....

Aka... don't touch anything... just wipe it down and oil it once every couple weeks depending on use.

just got mine back from being cleaned and checked .1 year old 975 Ld have box too . make me an offer
