"We're gonna need a bigger boat"

WoW.. that's a BIG REEL.....the positive clacking very distinctive to the Jaws movie Great job Dennis...

Line capacity 200,000,000 yds of 30 lb mono. Lol. Thanks Dennis! Always a good show!

... Perfect as always 👍🏻😀... Thx for sharing... Tight lines from germany...

I have never seen a reel that huge in my life! I don’t even want to think about how expensive filling it up with line would be

Hi Dennis I'm currently servicing a PENN 10/0 It has the metal strip dog spring which would date to the 40's-50's era. A terribly dirty but beautiful reel. (cleaned up like new) I won this at auction for $60 Only serious problem was one beauty ring (116-0, outside) was broken. Fortunately, eBay had one. What a monster!!

I really appreciate your comments when taking out screws or reassembling. Thank you.

Did washer upgrade and it increased from 35lbs to 47+ ,massive difference on wearing out big game fish quickly. Mark Gruner (yep Jawas 2).

Dennis, it's funny how opinions differ on drag washers. Some say carbontex washers should be dry, some like moderate grease and some add so much grease it squeezes out when the drag is tightened. And all approaches are "right". I prefer some grease but don't wipe it down as you do. All's well if the drag is smooth and adjusts as needed.

That's a Big Fishing Reel. Would love to own one.

That’s an awesome reel

Absolute giant! I would love to own one!

All I can say is, “WOW1”

Excellent job amigo

Penn actually made a 20/0 as well. Very very limited run . Like 20 or so. Very informative video.

Of course in Jaws he fought the shark with the clicker on....Hollywood!

Man I really want one of those 16/0 Senator to complete my collection.

Dennis assuming the parts are original to the reel the one piece spool was introduced in 1955. Not sure when the catalin handles were replaced by plastic I would guess mid 60s. My best guess is 1955-1965 or so.

my friend paid somewhere $200+/--, for one right after Jaws.. We would shark fish in the shipping channel. he would use a balloon to float the bait out with the tide, give the line a jerk, and pop the balloon . even if he didn't a hook up, just reeling all the line in was a major chore

Could use brake cleaner, petrol(gasoline) or diesel to clean its abit quicker just make sure to add some lubricant to recoat the part to prevent corrosion

I have 2 of this model. One is used and shows some aging on the chrome and the black of the plastic flanges is a bit faded but I own a second one never been used with the original blue box and owners manual and tube live from the factory. I was wondering what was the market price for this reel. If you have information it would be very welcome. And thank you for your very helpful video. ❤

Capacity is 800 miles of 2 pound line.

What is the max drag on this beast reminds me of replacing the wheel bearing on my truck

I have few PENN REELS that need fix . One of them needs the dog bar and can't find it.

Hello Denis from Northern Ontario Canada. We do not use those reels here, but do on our east coast. I have a 14/0 and 3 16/0. Would you, or would you know where a Canadian can order NOS parts or good used parts for these reels. For example upgraded brake kit, screws, springs, wearable parts, upgraded parts like brass to stainless or titanium. Can the side plates that have a few cracks where the screws go in be silver soldered. Would it be possible to rechrome, anodized or plate the spools for both appearance and corrosion protection. For your tutorial video, the only add is going on global TV. You speak well, no music that drowns out your comments, no shaky views, well heard and if there is any positive comments I have missed, well my apologies if so. Very much appreciated. Please keep up the fantastic tutorials. All the best from Canada and thank you sir.

I’ve been having problems with my 12/0’s handle going backwards

Hey Dennis, I just got a Penn 14/0 that I spooled with straight 130lb mono , my reel has the same style of spool which I think is one piece brass, but I was told that running straight mono over time will warp the spool , is that true? I always store my reels indoor after fishing and always store with drags back down to zero. Do I have anything to be concerned about?

is it a must to change the steel drag washers i see the ht 100s for sale without the steel washers save a few dollars

Dennis, In the movie, once they hooked up to the shark, he started stripping out line. The captain had them pour water on the reel so it wouldn’t overheat. Was that really a thing or Hollywood make believe?

hello Denis, I bother you with a question... what is the difference between a penn beachmaster 155 and a penn 160? thanks in advance hug
