I am going through the gear my dad gave me and there are some reels I don't use. I'm wondering if they are of any value as an old classic or simply something to put in a yard sale. They are...

Yes they are. It seems big reels were more common. They are on boat rods with pulley tips. I think he used them for charter boat fishing. Looks like tuna reels or something.  :smt044

I have a friend who I fish with on the East Cape that kept all his fathers old Penn's.  They were sent into be serviced every year and served hin well. He did say that the 250lb blue marlin he caught on the Sqidder ruined it beyond repair.  :smt044

That Omega 33 would be a Sweet Sabaki Reel.

Those are some nice old Penns you have there.

I have some old ones my father gave me. Most are in good condition. I'll hold on to them for my son to have some day.

all the Penns are pretty WIN, I'd hang onto 'em if you have any use for them, the Zebco's probably don't have any resale value, IMO.

Those green penn spinners are classic surf casting reels.
