That’s awesome! I just cleaned mine because I was bored. Mine was a gift from my uncle I’m gonna take it out for sure now. Thanks for another great video and keeping those old reels alive
Now i know how to cast this reel. I have the Penn 85 reel that belongs to my grandfather whose 93 now. It is in really good condition and I plan on using it during this fishing season. After I get it cleaned this month I'll be out casting it far like you hopefully. These older reels are great and last generations~
They are great Tiffany thank you! I was just using mine today and been working with it a bunch these summer month - I will need to clean it soon myself! Thanks for watching commenting and subscribing!
Have a Penn Leveline I got for Christmas in 1957. Had it refurbished by Dennis Kunitz of 2nd chance tackle, who did a WONDERFUL job. Also bought one recently NIB. BEAUTIFUL REELS.
Nice tutorial on casting with that old Penn. I have a couple of old Penn Conventional reels. I used to use them all the time when I was a kid fishing with my father. Many, many years ago. Thanks again for the video!
How blessed you are to live in an area that affords you such a diverse fishery! Fresh/salt/city/country/shore/boat!!! One of these days I'll relocate to where I'm closer than an hour or two from a 'good' lake!!! (Just got back from Minnesota - Biggest perch and bluegills of my life - a gazillion little northerns and massive blowups on a topwater frog.......I'm afraid that was my last trip north of the year....got really cold at night for the tent! Be safe Jerry
Thanks Ron, it sometimes gets confusing as to where to fish and I have to flip a coin. Sounds like you had an amazing trip well worth the ride and made the most of it. One fish I never caught was the norther pike would love to get at a few perhaps well do a trip!
@@FishYourWay Northern pike are my absolute favorite fish, I've been obsessed with those ugly jerks since I was seven years old. Allot of people think pike are dumb, but hook them and they become geniuses for using absolutely anything to their advantage. They seem to know when something isnt working so they try something else. They somehow sense when something is working and keep doing it. Once you get them in the boat they are the least co-operative fish you will have the displeasure of dealing with, their entire body is either razor sharp or covered in freakishly thick slime. They enjoy trying to mangle anything that comes near them and by the end of a good day blood has almost always been spilled. Despite all that you gently put them back in the water and they invariably manage to soak you as they swim away, I grew up on pike, picking apart weed beds with an old Mitchell combo and a handful of Len Thompson spoons, either from a canoe or shore, and to this day I still consider that the most pure form of fishing.
@@FishYourWay Among the more notable mishaps I've had pike fishing: Having them stubbornly latch their jaws onto sapling trees, the ankle of my boot, and once on the tongue of a dog that got a little too curious. Twice I've had the pleasure of a fair-sized pike flopping on one end of a Rapala... while the other end is stuck firmly in my leg. You always try to unhook yourself first, total rookie mistake as the pike will refuse to behave... What's not to love?
Love that you use a conventional setup even when surf fishing. Me too. My favorite is the Abu Garcia Ambassador 7000. The looks I get when I make an especially long cast. Exceptional with a tail wind, goes a country mile lol...Still get the occasional overrun, but usually because I forgot to adjust when changing lure weights. Keep up with the great videos!
Hi Theresa thanks! The Abu 7000 is a great reel I dont have any at the moment but maybe one day can get one out and show would love to. I like the older ones much better then the new ones just seem lighter more agile of a reel. They do cast a mile!
Great meeting you Jerry!! When the sun dipped a bunch of small blues rolled in. Nothing too big but still a super fun Friday night. Hope to see you again soon man!
Hi Jerry, It looks like you're having fun with your vintage tackle. Maybe this winter you could do a video showing all your vintage tackle. I'm sure it would be very interesting. I just got back from Lake Vermillion in northern Minnesota. I caught 2 large mouth and 4 small mouth bass. All were caught on a senko green pumpkin 5" worm. (weightless) I cast the worm on top of the lily pads and dragged it over the edge so it could fall into the water. Most hits were on the way down or letting it sit on the bottom. I hope you have a good Blue Fish and Striper run this year. Good luck and have fun, Mickey
Hiya Mickey, thought you were out fishing. Those smallmouth sound interesting. Were they mixed in with the largemouth off the lily pads? Hope to do some freshwater fishing soon hope to find some in the fall or next spring. One of these days I will have to try the senko thanks as always Mickey!
Hi Jerry, The small and large mouths were in the same cove. The smalls were on the other side of the cove from the large. The cove was about 100 yards across. The senkos are expensive and they tear easily. They are heavy and cast well without a weight. When the head gets ripped up, I cut it off and re-hook . I caught fish with half a senko. Say "Hi" to Danielle and have fun, Mickey
Thats interesting I have rarely if can not ever remember catching them together as well. They say think deeper same structure for them. Hopefully try for them soon! Just got of the phone with her next time I see or talk to her will do. Thanks as always Mickey
My friend gave me on in the 80's. Was his Grandfathers. All it needs is a new drag adjuster as it is bent. Maybe I can straighten in. Will clean before using it. Didn't think it would be a casting reel, but your video shows otherwise. Built like a tank.
@@FishYourWay There is a flea market where I live and one seller had one for sale. He was not here this Sunday. If he is here next time I will get it. A very nice red Bakelite Penn. $25. CDN.
Thank you for the great videos Jerry. I really appreciate the vintage reel videos. Do you have a playlist just for these? Or is there an easy way I can find just your vintage reel videos? Again thank you so much.
Thanks Tyler! i generally use em all the time just some more then others this one become a staple one of my own for many years. BUT yes check on the main page for the channel on the playlist I have a vintage reel section
Hi i my mum has one these she brought in the 80s but never use it.. So i have a few question,i took it out and I found out theres no lock,i mean, i had to hold to the handle so it doesnt reverse on me,is there meant to be a lock?,and which is the drag,the little knob on the other side or the star one by the handle..Thank you for uploading
Love your videos... always.... I wonder if you could kindly reexplain fishing Bucktail or any jig with a bow in the line to avoid drag/work naturally underwater.... it was some thing I never heard of and would request you to kindly explain it in detail... my apologies for the ignorance to grasp the cocept. much appreciated thanks again
Thanks a good question to. Its a little slack you want your lure to have without it the lure will behave unnatural. Mono line will help give it lift or sink at a slower rate making that bow easier. Braided line is thinner so the sink will be faster. Things to keep in mind for your presentation. You should see a belly and your line slightly slack thats when the lure is working its best.
@@FishYourWay thanks man... it really assists... I wonder if you could kindly do the video on exact working the jig..... truly amazing though.... much appreciated
Hi Jeffrey! I was wondering how you were I sent a message over a week ago got used to hearing from you knew something was off. So glad to hear you got through it and are getting better. Have you in mind and thank you so much for keeping to date. Get better so you can get fishing soon, thanks again and feel better!
Thank you very much Jerry no fishing yet overnight temps are 40 to 45 just started to work on my tackle I need it to wharm up bad take care talk soon god bless
@@FishYourWay I am replying again today because I was at a flea market and purchased one that was refurbished for 25.00. Cannot wait for the ice to clear and spring so I can use it.
That's terrific Jerry, Time travel fishing! Are the bushings brass? I'm sure you could cast a 10/0 senator just as smooth lol. wish modern companies would make retro offerings with premium components for the that feel and dependable service....kind of like fly reels. They really don't change much. Some look crazy some not soo much. Lots of technology in a simple package. Rods too. Have you ever heard cycloid reels? Built in Illinois. I spent 4 hours in Charlie bookers shop When I lived in rockford, looking around and getting the history of that reel. He started making free spool versions back in I think 2000... No drag besides your thumb! He'd take you outside and cast a 5/8 practice plug almost a city block with no backlash and no thumbing. He bought the whole stock of reels after that company closed (friends with the owner) I think the world record muskie was caught with one! In the mid to late 40s I think they were selling for 40 bucks. It's soo up your alley Jerry. A work of art. So Charlie was making them after the originals and still might be... Man... I should have bought some... live and learn right? I'll give you a full report on my outing tomorrow. Got some smelt, squid, and gulp . I'm gonna find the monster doormat of the deep and stuff him with crabmeat!!! Maybe working towards work docks instead of the jetty might be the ticket. And a rod with clam out while I'm jigging. There's a point that way that looks good.
I like that time travel fishing! Yea brass bushings on it I like them. Yea I handled a few of the cycloids but never casted with one they are pretty neat if I come across any I will have to put it aside for you. I tell people the drag is a luxury. You dont really need it you get PLENTY from your thumb. The thumb is actually a must better drag too. Big fish I add a leather flap. Did a few video with those. only thing sometimes its easy to put too much drag when you dont have an anti reverse and it will break wire. Great to hear your fishing tomorrow Joseph! Hope to get out to! I hope some bigums are out for you so you can use that crabmeat up! Thanks as always Joseph for sharing watching and always love the comment!
@@FishYourWay got the big one today Jerry. A 21 incher - finally a keeper fluke this year lol threw I think 8 more shorts back. Got my first stargazer and kingfish too great morning. Didn't go towards the bay... Bunch of people already at daybreak camped out. I think maybe blowfish were tearing up my gulp? Small nips taken out and tails missing like crazy. Also couldn't keep clams on the hook lol they were stripping them bare almost every cast. They finally disappeared towards 11am. I left a little after noon.
Thats awesome Joseph! Sounds like you had a good tide! I see those tents sometimes when I walk back in the dark I guess the holiday weekend.Could be blowfish they been around I have heard crabs also do a number on them. Sounds like your gonna have a nice dinner thanks so much as always Joseph!
Hay Jerry how are you great video really enjoyed it what rod are you using I Know of the Penn 85 seaboy never had one good basic reel have a great day my bro🐟
I was given this reel, it is right hand retrieve, is there any way to switch it to left? Can I just set it up backwards to make it left handed or will the drag not work properly? Thanks!
Hi Ryan I hear you I like the lefties as well. There is a way but you need a different ratchet gear for a left hand reel. If you are handy what you can do is remove the ratchet gear turn it around and the reel will be lefty. dog and spring go on the other side. If you turn it around it will work but retrieve will be backwards so you line lies under or somehing
I keep coming back to this video, I have a question. What pound Andy line are you using? I want to fish with my grandfather's penn 85 reel i just don't know what mono line to use on it. Any advice on casting from the side or overhead is better for this reel? I tried both and still got backlash~

Try ebay the penn screws are mostly the same for all the reels Jeffrey
Awesome video! We had beautiful weather this weekend. What kind of rod?
Hi Riyad thanks! The rod is an old shimano rod I had laying around I could not tell you the stats but good for 1-4oz with a med action about 6'
are the fluke in still in the backbays?
Oh yea there should be some more around may even get some bigger ones soon well have to see when I can get out thanks CP
I was watching your video on the 500. What diawa handle did you use?. I just bought a 500.
Classic
Thanks
Hay Jerry how are you great video really enjoyed it what rod are you using I Know of the Penn 85 seaboy never had one good basic reel have a great day my bro🐟
Hi Jeffrey good here thanks, that is a old shimano rod I had laying around some years had to fix the tip still works great. The 85 does the trick!
Yep sure dose
Got 2 seaboy 190s.😘
They are great a little bigger reel
I was given this reel, it is right hand retrieve, is there any way to switch it to left? Can I just set it up backwards to make it left handed or will the drag not work properly? Thanks!
Hi Ryan I hear you I like the lefties as well. There is a way but you need a different ratchet gear for a left hand reel. If you are handy what you can do is remove the ratchet gear turn it around and the reel will be lefty. dog and spring go on the other side. If you turn it around it will work but retrieve will be backwards so you line lies under or somehing

30lb works well with these, best advice is practice
@@FishYourWay Thank you for the reply! I will practice with a 1 oz weight til i van feather the line right.~
Use various weights as well 1-4oz or whatever you toss up2 it changes a little

what the name rod
Thats a old shimano blank that tip broke works great!
