Now you need some Penn reels. How many and what color would you like? LOL. I have a couple of those tools, too. They do everything but open your beer bottle, and they'd probably do that, too, in a pinch.

I don’t collect them but I have a nice old 910 my dad bought for my first real bass rig.

Lee if I had some old Penn Senators I would be on that like gravy on rice but alas my GTI's do not have the same nut as the Senators so it would be wasted on me. But that tool DOES bring back some memories.....

I collect them, as well as others.

Things sure have changed, now reels are machined masterpieces.

Keep that wrench and get a reel or two to go with it. And a pole.

Fishing is proof that God loves us.

That's a generous offer but I also don't need any more. I've "collected" them for about 40 years and don't need no mo'.
Great reels. That's why I've used them for so long.

My grandad swore by those old Penn Levelwinds for saltwater fishing. He had a red 209 with a white torpedo handle that looked much better than the new 209s. When I was a kid he gave me a MAG 10, I'm not totally sure what makes it Magnum powered over a standard model, but I love it!

I have my Grandfather's 114 which is a bit old. I'm 72 so it's been around for a while. He used it on Sailfish. It had brittle Dacron line on it. Dug it out because of this thread. Thanks.

Many a tuna caught on my custom Jigmasters and Squidders.

I don't collect them, I hoarde them. Got about 30 of them besides another 250 or so of other brands. All multiplying
casting reels. So happens I have more than a few Penn tools.
I use to repair reels and ended up hoarding old ones. I don't
keep newer ones. I live in Ohio so the only thing I use the bigger
models for is catfish.

I'm only interested in the ultra rare Penn spinning reel with a working anti-reverse. Joe.
