Thread: Reel Repair

So my dad bought a few things at an estate sale last weekend and he found he had two Penn reels. The first is a 5500SS. It seems to be in pretty good shape but is missing the clicker. Bail spring seems a littlittle light also. Would need a good cleaning and greasing. The second is a 440SS. This is the one that will need a little more work. The bail wouldnt snap back by turning the handle. It had to be put down by hand. My dad started taking it apart and couldnt get it back together. He put all the parts in a bad so none are missing that I know of.
So my question is, is there anyone that I could send them to and get them serviced and upgraded? He got a hell of a deal on them so I'm will to put a little extra love into them. Let me know. Thanks in advance .

I've got some reels that need a home!!!

Staying warm, went back to work (part time) may head south for the grandaughters Easter spring break....I could use to hear some screaming drag......or the pull of some sheaphead.....maybe even get lucky and land a legal ling,to get that off the bucket list.....just seeing some missed faces and smelling the salt would do me fine

Im trying to get down sooner than later but the wife is in school still.

My wife said go with the grandaughter & friend......she and I will make another trip when her family business is done......she twisted my arm
