Help with conversion kit for PENN750ssm - Striper Talk Striped Bass Fishing, Surfcasting, Boating

BassDawg · 02-18-2008, 07:15 PM

This reel served me well last year,
used for eeeeeeling, chunks, and sluggos.

Loved it, and it is good to go for this season.
Since PENN's site has nothing as far as going bailless,
i was hoping that some of the dealers here could give me a heads up?

And if they don't have one yet, any ideas of when or who to contact from PENN?

Thanks, gentlemen any help and input is greatly appreciated.

How about a hack saw and a file with a little elbow grease -

I have one off a 6500ss somewhere. not sure if it is the same, but it is yours if it will match up.

River's End tackle shop in Old Saybrook, CT has bail-less kits, reasonable price. I've been bail-less for years on my 6500ss reels, won't ever go back.

Thanks, Toby!
Will look for you at RISAA. As that time
approaches, I'll pm ya tiime and place to meet.

Thanks again, TLap, and baldwin for your confirmation

Even if it doesn't match up, it's still worth a shot.

Jess, I got a conversion kit from pennparts.com for my 704. They should have it.

Thanks, bro!
I went thru Kay last year to convert my 704Z.
Very reasonable and she is the BEST!!
I should give them a call at Surfland and see if she has them in.

Are ya going to the PIShow, Jason?
It's not that long of a haul, and the venue is great.
Good speakers this year and the CHOWDAH is off the charts.
You, Kev, and Rye should come on up, misters Papows and Stetzko are well worth the price of admission.
The raffles are top notch too.

If not, i'll see youse at RISAA.
