A gentlemen calls today and asks if I can service a reel meant for his son’s birthday. A Penn 209 pretty dirty but serviceable. His son’s birthday is Friday and wants to know if I can get his reel up and running before then. Nothing is better in my opinion than introducing a new angler to the sport. A Made in the USA Penn 209 is a good old trolling reel for the Puget Sound for salmon. A good cleaning and some new drag washers and metals and off it goes for another lifetime of fishing! Another angler is born!
