Thread: Looking for a Penn 706

hey guys I've been coming down to fish gulf shores for several summer now on vacation and just cant get enough of the Kings and spanish.... have always admired your guys reels and rods and am looking to invest in one myself this year any help finding one would be great and also wondering how the fishing is in early march on the pier or if its open then??

706 and 706 Z are out of production, so you you are looking for ads here and online auctions. Expect to pay a healthy price for one in good condition. If you like a bailed reel a 704 is almost as large and runs cheaper.

A very serviceable surrogate is the the Mitchell 302 with the bonus of being cheaper, but an upgrade of a 302 to bail-less status and better line lay will add another $40 to the price.

Of course, contemporary reels also catch fish.

Thanks for the info yea i know they are out of production have started doing some research on them i really like the 706 and the look of them they are a classic, im looking for it mainly as a king reel for the pier when i come down, and some local striper fishing. THANKS

whats a 706??????????

oops these got jealous..

damn, i always forget somebody. they are like a bunch of kids to me..

ahhhhhh chit, wrong reels...

Look no further!

on a serious note, mine are not for sale. but call TLII at j & m, he told me awhile back he would part with a couple but they ain't cheap cause they ain't junk...

The pictures of the ones TL II has are imaculate.
