I've been on this Project P for the "Penn Staal" for a while now and frankly
been unable to complete it...
The first documented effort I have for this reel came way back in 2010 (I know it's not so long ago for some of yall), and throughout the years I've been working on it here and there. I recently remembered my dear old friend and decided to re-new my commitment to the project and this dear gem of American surf fishing history.
(plus, how do you forget an old friend from the 1960's...)
So far...
- As you can see I have done the sanding (keep our precious "made in USA" on the seat)
- Purchased the carbontex drag set and replacement washer to replace the Teflon from Alantani.
- Purchased and installed the Bailless kit (however my roller ring is not rolling!)
- Bought the pancake handle
Now,
- I need to decide whether or not to drill first before annodizing or be content on baking.
- Also where can I buy a replacement pendant for the metal side plate?
- Decide on a drilling pattern
- Re-build the anti-reverse switch. I will not be using it.
- Find replacement Pendant
Here are the links to my previous post for my "Project P" Penn 704 Custom Edition:

Project P - Update 1, Paint Stripping Materials
Project P - Update 2, Body, Spool, Plate Started

Until, the next step, Ciao !!
