plankton 725 Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 Nice old Penn you've got there, couldn't tell you the year, but I believe that the thing with the hooks is a rod clamp, the hooks go on the reel and the curved bit of metal goes under the reel seat. If no one can tell you the year it's from, try sending an email to Penn with the serial number. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
freddyboy 5 Posted October 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 thanks plankton,, might just do that ,,as for the hook thing ive got a rod clamp on it already so might not be that but will investigate some more cheers freddyboy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shark_Fisho 1 Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 Gday buddy,The first year they were brought out was in the late 80s and they were dicontinued by Penn in 1997 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
plankton 725 Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Take a look at the front of the reel. Not sure why the extra rod clamp, maybe it was for catching really big mechanical sharks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest big lizard Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 It's a fairly early model Inter Fred,by the engraving around the 50, its got me stumped with the handle though i reckon it more than likely had a wooden handle before?? Dunno but inters around 1996 had those handles and different engaving etched in.... Tough old reels mate great purchase... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
