I like the old Penn reels. I bought lots of them on e-bay a few years ago, especially jigmasters and 112H's. I was looking for the chrome or stainless spools all the time. I use them for trolling leadcore. Basic simple reel. I also bought any chromed bronze or stainless spools I could find for the jig masters, 112H and 113HSP reels. The aluminum spools they come with now, except the 113 which is still made in the chromed bronze for wire trolling, don't last very long. Clean them up they will be fine. They have character. P.
