Penn 700

[Mike P]

If it's in mint shape, it only has value to a collector looking to fill out a Penn spinning reel collection. The problem is, most collectors have one already. It's not that rare a find. I think a 704 with the painted "wave" side plate is more valuable. For fishing, the 704 is a better reel. They're almost identical, but have a couple of improvements that made them better.

Now, if you were to find a "lefty" 702, or an original greenie 707 which is the lefty 706, those are two of the rarest Penn Spinfishers out there, and might have triple digit value to a collector.

I have a greenie 705. One of only a few I have seen.

Last session at a popular fishing spot on the ri coast, i ran into a young kid (early 20'sure) fishing a 705 i was shocked but was cool to see as he was a lefty too.
