Penn Mariner Series #49:
The Mariner Series is virtually in a class by itself - the only reels designed specifically for deep sea trolling. The narrow spool design makes it easier to fish with lead core, wire, dacron, braid and mono lines. Mariners have also proven themselves in the down-deep world of west coast rock-codding. From trolling for Canadian lake trout to jigging for big Pacific lingcod, Mariner does it deep. (1985 Penn Catalog)
HISTORY:
One of the first conventional reel series, the mariners proved their capabilities and many of them were available for a long time. Of the 4 models in the series, only the #49 model, which was also made for the first time before 1941, is still manufactured today, with new technologies. The first Penn 49's featured a molded, plastic spool. The label reads "Penn No.49 DEEP SEA REEL PENN Fishing Tackle Mfg.Co. Phila, PA"
Condition:
Considering its age, it is in good clean condition with minor scratches but no pitting and working well. Red torpedo handle in good clean condition.
$65.00
Please send pm to arrange pick up. I am in Bergen County. I have three more mounted on deep water rods but condition is unknown since I have not looked at them.
