Info on a Penn Senator 3/0 Reel


Recommended Posts

I'm not a Penn Senator expert, but the 3/0 size reel is still being made as the Penn Senator 112H so it would be really hard to put a date on it without picture(s) or more of a description. Is the spool crome colored or black aluminum? Also, is the handle a black plastic knob or another color?

I have two (3/0) one is an older model and was more a Maroon than the Red it also had a football/torpedo green knob on handle , I bought it USED so have no idea of age, other is new 99 or so with bright red side plates and black rubber handle Knob, I have an 89B parts manual which reflects some parts from the 112 are same as the 111 (2/0) ,owing to that one could probably say the 3/0 have been around for some time ,as last mfr of 2/0 probably back in 60s/70s I am not sure ,but it has been a while. not much info but best i can offer

The 3/0 is the 112. Black sideplates, 6 cross bars, chromed spool. Very heavy, good cranking power, slow retrieve, no ball bearings, some guys use it for baitfishing blues. Too big for blackfish, too small for cod. I bought one last year for $5. Still have not done anything with it.

 

The 3/0 Special Senator is much narrower, red sideplates, 4 crossbars, black aluminum spool, OK cranking power, medium fast retrieve, ball bearings. If I remember correctly, it was John Demaio's favorite reel for diamond jigging.
