Throw back Thursday

That is a 10' B&M Duck Commander Double Touch rod. Used it last night . It worked great. That Penn reel is as tight as a vault door.

Richard who ? lost me

I believe he meant Richard Gene since he likes to use some of those old reels

[DockShootinJack]

some of the old Penn reels are tough as nails , that one is sure enough pretty , the aqua paint job is the bomb....totally 50 vintage colors ,
congrats sir , nice find

The color is what grabbed my attention. I don't believe it has been used much. It is tight with no slop and the drag is awesome. What else would one expect from a Penn built in the 50's

When we hit Alaska for Sockeye I carry a big salt water open faced Penn on a medium heavy 7 foot ugly stick , going after them fish up there is what the locals call combat fishing . The average rod and reel cannot handle the stupidity of a sockeye on the end of the line ,seen a many rods get SNAPPED and watched reels just literally blow up with a fish on .
Never visit the sockeye run with anything less than real tough solid equipment , them fish you see getting 10 foot of air under them going past the bears are really hard to reel in on a fishing rod I promise .

I have a Penn 712 spinfisher I bought 20 years ago. It has fought a many of redfish on the Gulf Coast, flounder, and catfish in its later years.
It is a tough reel itself.

I will let you know. For now I will hang on to it. It has a good feel to it when fishing
