Nice score! You can get him back on the water in no time! Typical acne in the Penn plating but a 1:3 vinegar/water soak will get rid of the scale and a soak with Balistol will get those plates back to life!

Re: New project
Isaw many strange reels she’s sell stuff for a older gentlemen,she showed me pictures of a barn choc full of poles stacked in rows and fishing gear intackle boxes.one reel was an all aluminum Pflueger that almost looked handmade ,I forgot the model name ,that was on a black metal label affixed to the end where a modern rear drag would be.it had a flat chrome handle.one Mitchell spool that was only like 1 1/4” diameter,I’ve never seen a 308 first hand ,are they that small? Very tiny.Probably a collectors dream spot for parts-a few new old stock stuff in boxes,I was a bit short on cash this week,so I only got the Penn ,I was looking for a Mitchell 302 but there were only 300’s,last time I found a Mitchell salt water reel and case nos,still in a yellow factory box unused.I believe for a 302.
What is a “Kentucky style reel”?

Re: New project
There that’s better,I always had trouble listening to instructions!Most of all I really love the artwork that they put into the Penn reels in particular,but in general old things were simply made more beautiful,but the pictures on Penn reals were fantastic I would buy just those if I found them for the pictures,does anyone know who did the original art for the molds?
