PENN INTERNATION 80T

[old salt]

Good morning All, here is a penn international 80T I serviced and repaired.

The handle was seized and in zero movement check the pics and see why. The reel was stripped with some force then machined to repair.

The reel got a proper JJ TLC service with a corrosion treatment, special TLC I do. She now feels great again and ready for the next marlin that takes the bait.

There lots of pictures on my facebook page jonathans reel repairs and upgrades
