SKU: Chartham eBay1395 Brand: Penn Style: SEA FISHING Condition: Pre-owned- Good Model: NO.160 EAN: Not Applicable ISBN: Not Applicable The Penn No. 160, widely known as the "Beachmaster," is a classic, durable, American-made multiplier sea fishing reel. Built for light tackle casting, surf, and boat fishing, it is highly sought after by collectors and vintage fishing enthusiasts. Overview & Specifications :- Type :- Conventional casting/multiplier reel. Origin :- Made in the United States. Build :- Typically features black Bakelite/plastic side plates with chrome-plated metal components. Features :- Known for its dependable star drag system and aluminium spool. GENERAL INFORMATION :-The PENN No. 160 Beachmaster is a classic, vintage multiplier sea fishing reel manufactured in the USA from before 1941 until the late 20th century. Originally designated as a "light tackle casting reel", it was designed specifically for light casting, surf fishing, and light boat work targeting medium gamefish. Key Product Specifications:- Reinforced Side Plates :- Built from durable, classic Bakelite material designed to handle marine environments. Metal Components :- Features chrome-plated brass exposed metal parts and a high-strength bronze alloy main gear. Drag System :- Equipped with an easy-to-operate star drag, later upgraded with Penn's smooth HT-100 multi-disc drag washers. Mechanical Features :- Includes a durable, loud on/off clicker and a classic counterbalanced handle with a torpedo knob. Performance & Use Cases :- Light Casting & Surf -: The reel features a free-spool lever that disengages the gears, allowing the lightweight spool to spin freely for casting baits from the shore. Light Boat Work :- Its powerful gearing and star drag make it ideal for bottom fishing or light trolling in bays and estuaries for species like flounder, bass, flatfish, and cod. Collector & Practical Appeal :- While highly sought after as a piece of angling history on collector marketplaces like eBay UK and Etsy UK, many anglers still actively use it due to PENN's legendary "built-like-a-tank" durability.
