Reel news article Penn/Daiwa connection
Exc article about the Penn/Daiwa connection in the newest issue. I have a MIB Daiwa 7250 spinning reel that must be a Japanese market reel. Color is is silver as opposed to the US versions which are dark or light brown.it came with the cloth bag as shown in the article marked Penn/Daiwa.The writing on the box is split between Japanese and English.A pride of my Daiwa connection. Good job ORCA.

Re: Reel news article Penn/Daiwa connection
That is interesting.
Glad you enjoyed that article. It was a long time in the making for me. Information on the Penn / Daiwa connection was not easy to find. Seems the Federal Excise Taxes are what killed the Penn release of the reels in the USA.
Is this the same cloth bag you had with your reel?

That must be an interesting article. I have long wondered about the Penn-Daiwa Ventura-Heddon-Daisy thing. Maybe that is in there too?

Yes- same bag.

Re: Reel news article Penn/Daiwa connection
The article is in the July issue of the Reel News. Not too sure about the Penn-Daiwa-Ventura-Heddon-Daisy thing. That seems to be above my Pay Grade...............<:O)That must be an interesting article. I have long wondered about the Penn-Daiwa Ventura-Heddon-Daisy thing. Maybe that is in there too?

Re: Reel news article Penn/Daiwa connection
Interesting. I know my reel is from the 1960's, making the bag over 50 years old and as far as I know only distributed in Japan. Those two considerations would tell me that is this is a difficult item to find. At least we now know there are two survivor Penn / Daiwa cloth bags.....Yes- same bag.

Re: Reel news article Penn/Daiwa connection
To further add to this discussion- I have a Ryobi Ul reel with the same bag but Ryobi is the only mention- no Penn connection. Bag is identical in size & color to the Penn /Daiwa bag we discussed.
