Picked up this old Penn Squidder 146 Reel a while back. Replaced the side plates' crossbars with a Tiburon one-piece narrow frame, replaced original plastic spool with an aluminum narrow spool, and replaced the torpedoe handle knob with a polished aluminum disc to aid my slightly arthritic grip. A little Penn Blue grease, some oil, and a fresh load of Stren High Impact, Smoke Blue, 20# Mono; we're ready for some Bay, Beach, Pier, and Sea Saltiness (still need to upgrade drag washers). Birds may feel free to observe my ability to construct nests with fishing line.
