I am looking for a Penn 712Z or just the gear set to swap out in one of my 710's. Cosmetics don't matter much, but a smoothe gear train is a must.
I am willing to buy or trade. I have several surf or pier rods to choose from.

Here's a lifetime supply of parts. You can thank me later. Just prepare to spend 15 grand.

So it's easy to remember pennparts.com.
That definitely makes me feel better about my affliction. I'm not near as bad off as I thought I was.Quote:

Sonny only has one bail screw for the 712...
I had really hoped to swap a rod for a beater. Not a biggy for this trip, I have an extra 712 that I can rob the gear set from temporarily for my next trip.
Can't help with a 712 but will a 710 do being your working on a 710?
Thanks John G. - I have plenty of 710's, just want to find a set of 712 gears to put in them. Increases the retrieve ratio and gets about 5" more per turn. Helps w/ bubbles, jigs and avoiding the Tax Man....
712 and 710 but no beaters....Sonny said to do that with the 710 to speed it up some....for me why not just fish the 712....
710 has same frame as 712, but bigger spool and more line capacity. The 710 gears are 3.6:1, 712 gears are 4.1:1 - Tough day to work a gotcha or jig w/ fast retrieve on a stock 710. The occasional king hook up warrants the extra line and an extra 5” of line for every turn of the handle would be wonderful
