  1. BB, You mentioned an extractor for removal of the bearings. Can you provide a diagram or picture of it? Thanks, Russ L.
  2. Ask the local folks at ****.net. Russ
  3. Hey Sudsy, Are these blades still available? Thanks, Russ L
  4. Hey Grandpa, The Chrysler tranny fluid you like for bearings - is it the ATF +4 type? Russ L.
  5. Thanks gents. Ordered one of the "old stock" USA made blanks. Will let you know how it turns out. Russ L
  6. Looking for a 11-12' distance blank for casting 2-3oz jigs and spoons in the FL surf. Batson's SU1386F is rated at 2-5oz. Any estimates on its sweet spot & casting performance? Russ
  7. Are these Predator rods fiberglass or graphite?
  8. I have a 1418-12 blank I want to set up for a use with a 525mag &/or magged 535gs. How about nlg's, 30,25,20,16,16,16 and a 16 sic? The 16's should keep the line off the blank and large enough for the shock knot. I'm wondering if the 30 is too large and a smaller 25 would do for the butt guide? Any suggestions? Thanks, Russ
  9. Can you folks please post the guide spacings. I'll be building one for a 525mag. Thanks.

  11. Thanks for the chance. I'm in. Russ
  12. Herbert Henze, son of Penn founder Otto Henze retired from the company in December. He had held the position of president for the last 39 years. If no one else in the family was groomed for that position, then it makes sense that the company was sold. Hopefully the new owners will improve the company and not squeeze the remaining $'s out of it.
  13. Hi Al, I picked up a PSH1082MH blank and will set it up with my BG20. Any reason not to go with YLG's, #30 down to #8's, #8 Sic tip? Thanks, Russ
  14. Hi Al, Thanks for the advice on setting up the 1363M2 e-glass a while back. I had the finished rod out yesterday and it sings. The distance from the rim of the spool to 40HH is 44" - that distance gave the best casting performance when testing. It's interesting that when reeling the line, the line tracks the circumference of the 40HH perfectly at 44". It sings. Russ
