1st Gen Penn 14/0 Senator

Post by 54bullseye »

Well thanks to ORCA member "1badf350" I now own a nice 5 oclock handle 14/0 Senator. He saw a Craigslist add for a 14/0 Senator with bent butt rod from NH. The guy would not ship anywhere just pick up so I drove up from Mass. and bought it. I sold rod yesterday so I am into reel very CHEAP !!! Took it apart and cleaned and lubed it yesterday and am very happy the way it turned out ! Here are some pictures. Glad it was rescued by ME !!
