Matt - thank you for the kind words of encouragement and for watching! Please let your fishing friends know about my channel. Best wishes. Please stay well. Dennis

It is nice that you show people that just because an old reel does not look so good anymore, it doesn`t mean it has lost it`s usefulness. You also show why

I appreciate good design and manufacture and the older reels certainly had that plus character as well. It is sort of like cars. By today's standards, they all look the same and just feel like copies of everybody else's. Plus, I get a sense of planned obsolesce today that I didn't get with the older generations. Thanks David - stay well - Dennis

I bought a 109 in the early 80's, put a 209 handle on it and caught alot of kings with it but now have it all apart, squeaky clean and will be referring to this helpful video putting it back together tommarow. Thank's! Fish on people

I think you are referring to the spool gear. It goes on the spool as opposed to the yoke on the model 9 when you service the 109 - Dennis

Thank You! I purchased a Penn 109 at a garage sale last week. I followed along with you step by step and it was a complete help. As you can imagine here in the midwest it didn't see much use just needed years of corner neglect and old grease cleaned out. It's ready to go now.

The 109 was one of the first reels that Penn introduced and was originally released in 1942. If you have the plastic spool, then the reel is older than the ones with the metal spool. Either way, sounds like you got a good deal. Best wishes Catfishing - Dennis

@@2ndChanceTackle it's metal spool.only problem is the plastic handles are deteriating.so I'm searching for that.u thank I need model specific handles or are they universal on the Penn conventional reels?I don't care of it's model correct as long as it fits

I have a 109-30 given to me I’m a lefty my question is does the handle always turn even when casting I was told they do called knuckle buster I’ve haven’t used it yet but I thought the Ain’t- reverse would lock the spool to real in am I wrong. And how long turn around time for repair and service and average charge for the 109-30 thanks

@2ndChanceTackle

Bob - The 109 will spin backwards when casting. That is by design. The free spool lever only releases the anti-reverse dog and not the pinion gear, so that gear stays engaged and the reel spins backwards during casting. For repair information, please send a note to me at 2ndchancetackle@gmail.com and I will provide that information. Turnaround time is normally about one week from receipt. Thank you for asking - Dennis

I have one of those reels ,but it's missing the handle.. Is it better than 9 peerless?

@2ndChanceTackle

2 жыл бұрын

Most folks prefer the #9. The 109 is a knuckle buster that does not have the anti-reverse feature. The #9 is a different design that has the more traditional penn reels setup with the A/R dog.

Well done. Thanks just took mine apart. What grease do you use?

is the handle supposed to turn when in free spool

@2ndChanceTackle

4 жыл бұрын

It can turn when in free spool, but generally it does not turn unless you do it. If you find that the reel is turning in free spool when you are drop fishing and or casting, then something is tight inside the reel. It is usually drag washers that are not installed properly or a spool shaft out of round or a stuck bearing. Usually a tuneup can fix most of those issues, except for the bent spool shaft, where you would need to replace the spool. - Thanks for asking - Dennis

Yes - the 109 is the knuckle buster version of this reel. The handle turns backwards in free spool by design Dennis

It's not just made in America, but I get your point. A lot of the Japanese reels and German, and French reels have suffered by moving the production off shore. Just look at an Ambassadeur made in Sweden versus on the BCX series made in China. There was a certain pride of manufacture that is missing these days. - Thanks - Dennis
