Penn 980 Powermag

Post by cdwolfe »

Also -- I have recently acquired a Penn 980 Powermag -- I am looking for a second matching reel. Any leads or thoughts on where I might be able to find one?

Thanks!

these show on ebay quite often, along with their close cousins the 940 and 970s.

I think that would be 970 and 990. The 940 is a small baitcaster.

The 980 is still a sought after reel for surf fishing. If you find one on ebay it will probably cost you $200 or so to take it home.

this is the reel I had in mind...unless there is a Powermag different from a Magpower, I think this is the one you mean? this one was not ex, but is going for about what I figured.
