How does this reel differ from a Penn 320 gt2lc? It looks very similar. I ran a search on ebay for a Penn 320 gt2lc and got your ad.

I have never used the reel you mentioned. When I bought my reel, I was aware of the quality of Penn reels and wanted a line counter to be more accurate to get to the depths needed to be where the fish have been located on the sonar. I matched it with an Ugly Stick medium heavy at 6'8". I have had more bites and caught more fish with this combination than ever before. The "feel" of the Ugly Stick and the ability to get to the right depth for my use was incredible. The reel fit my needs for salmon fishing, mainly off charter boats at Westport, Washington. Roger

well besides the cost being almost double, the gear ratio is 4:3:1 on the 320 and 3:2:1 on the 209.line retrieve is 25" on the 320 while 19" on the 209 and the max drag on the 320 is 12 and 10 on the 209. hope this helps.

i've had that reel for several years now. It is subjected to 150psi air pressure day in and day out. I love it.

3 A-RB stainless ball bearings + 1 A-RB roller bearing. I just bought 2, one for a friend, but I have not had the chance to use it yet. Sure seems like a nice reel though. Looking forward to the first time out with it. I bought the Shimano Calcutta 400B for light to medium duty salt water fishing i.e. sheephead, calico bass, and what ever else bites at or under twenty lbs.

The Penn 9 and 10 are too small for any of the Penn reel covers to fit. The XXS fits a Penn 320GTi.

I don't see a pic concerning your question , but I did buy a pictured right hand retrieve #9 level wind reel. model # is stamped on oil caps on both sides of reel. myself and my brother have used penn #9 reels bottom fishing for big catfish for years and are 100% satisfied with performance and service. hope this answers your questions.

I have had a abu garcia C4 6500. That had to be sent back because the gears started to strip out, it was a great reel before that. I'm just rough on reels because i throw really big lures and fish for musky 4 or 5 times a week. I strongly recommend the calcutta 400b. It casts flawlessly after adjusting the variable break system( I turned 4 brakes on and 2 off). It came with just 2 brakes on and I had some backlashes. It is a very strong and durable reel and worth every penny. If you want something alittle more high speed the revo toro NacL by abu garcia costs alittle bit more, but It is great and you will love it's casting abilities. But the calcutta is in my opinion better than the C3 or c4 by a long shot and worth the extra money because you a buying a reel that you can past down to your kids one day. Justin Britts

Hi, I am responding again to this question as I think I made a mistkae. The item we had to return b/c it was not the one pictured was a whole rod and reel combo. So I think this is a different one. Sorry for the confusion.

Mitchell pro series reels being sold everywhere are seriously lacking in specifications. See http://fishmitchell.com/mitchell_300_pro/ for all the info. You should also check out the Mitchell Pro Series Combos!

not this one. there is the other version with a level wind. Otherwise, it is a good reel. Fast, smooth retrieve and a quality drag system.

I own a 300 from my early days. It has a plastic spool and is still working today. I bought the 300C for my son in law and used it when I visited last month. I has a metal spool and can be loaded with line by machine at the store. It has the same great feel of my original 40 year old reel, smooth casts and retrives well.

Most likely from Daiwa. I took mine in, and the shop mentioned replacing the felt drags. They can order them from manufacturers. Companies that make aftermarket drags usually make them for multiple brands and reels. "Smooth drag" etc. You should be able to google them.

Line does not come on the reel spool when you receive it. Line is very easy to put on the spool and you should have no problem doing this.You can go on to the Penn web site and you will fined the information concerning extra reel spools for the Penn FRC6000.ThanksBill

Tim, I own 6, Penn 9/0 Reels and I have them all covered with the Large sized Penn cover. They are a snug fit with ample room for adjustment. Your Penn 10/0 will need the XL. Being too loose or too big will allow moisture to stay trapped in and around vital moving parts.

you know that's a good question ! i've seen the recent mitchell 300 & noticed it to be extremely similar to my recently-purchased mitchell 300-c !! i would have to put the 2 reels side-by-side & really look for subtle differences !!! unless of course just maybe the manufacturer decided to change the naming of the product from 300-c to 300 but that's only a guess !
