Seahog?

I`ve gone back to a Penn 112H with 30lb braid for boat fishing. I just change the rod to suit the fishing.

My Penn Squidder which I've used for forty years or more. Because I have the saddles and space bars to quickly convert it, I use it as a 140 (wide) 145 (medium) or 146 (narrow) spool, that means I can use it for heavy, medium or light beach casting, and as a light boat reel.

 

Now, thanks to Jim Roper, I have aquired a second Squidder that has hardly been used at all, but will be used a lot in future.

What was the old brown Penn called that we all had about 25 years ago? Was it a Mariner?

Seahog, when do we get to hear about, "the method in my madness", bit ?

 

I might go out and buy some Abu shares, based on this research.

This past year and a bit, I've only fished for mullet, and I'm not sure if mullet fishing counts as proper "sea fishing" these days, particularly as all my mullet fishing is inshore, in river estuaries, but FWIW, the reel I use the most is an Abu 704.

You might be thinking of a Penn Seaboy. I've still got one somewhere. The Seascamp was at the bottom of the heap and the Delmar was next up from the Seaboy. Mine cost £4/3/4d from what I remember. The Seaboy was about a pound cheaper.

The Mariner was a narrowish spool job that, I think, was meant for wire.
