He said he gets a lot of reels in baggies to go ahead and ship it. When i got it back it looked like a new reel. He shined the chrome and sideplates, and it works like a dream.

Hey Jim! Looks good.I don't use Penn spinning reels, but you can't beat the quality of a conventional Penn boat reel for the price. I love the 114H for grouper and snapper down in Fl. and I use 2 Penn 200 Surfmasters for the Flatheads I get in Pa. I just recently had the pleasure of fishing out in the Potomic River for Blue cats and even though we didn't get one over #25 on the Surfmasters but it had no problem wenching the fish in. I have caught Flatheads over #40 with them though and they handle the weather good.I think that for the money they are by far the best catfish reel. I have aluminum spools and oversized handles on them. I have them spooled up with #100 Power Pro and I can sling them very far. Reply to this

well shoot, i decided to ask Jim for his expertise in helping me get a couple baitcasters for a baitcater dummy to try. Have always used spinning all these years. Jim came through for me. Setting me up with 2 209's... and left handed no less. Didn't know if this would be possible, but got to real nice reels in no time at all. Thanks again Jim, with out your help, i wouldn't have known where to begin. !st time out was comical, 2 bird nests right off the bat. But from there on out and some adjustments, things went smooth. had a good day on the river with the channels with them.
