320GT Design Change for Worm/Line Guide System

Price: $0.00

  • SKU320GT

IMPORTANT CHANGE FOR
320GT Reel

Redesign of Worm/Line Guide System.

Penn redesigned the worm, line guide and bearings, replacing the design on the original run of reels (early 1980s).

HOW TO TELL IF YOUR REEL HAS THE OLDER SYSTEM:
The most distinguishing feature is the BLACK PLASTIC LINE GUIDE.
The second is that the older 50-320 worm shield was closed off on the ends, using in different bearings than the newer reels. Both versions use the same pawl #47-975.

-- (Not in older) 36-700 worm shaft nut (added)

How do you tell which version you have?

The quickest way to tell if you have an original run reel or one made after the design changes is to look at the line guide itself. The original line guide is made of black plastic. The newer line guide is all metal.

Converting

Converting to the new design is completely optional. The older system will work. You might have to make the conversion only if we run out of older parts and you need one that's missing for repairs. You can use this page as a reference to order the parts from the NEWER system only, via the links above.

11/30/2024 This is the spot if you fix Penn reels. What a awesome shop. Great website. Schematics of reels on hand with available parts list. Best shop around. Since you can't walk into Penn reels in Philly anymore, this is the next best thing. Thanks for your services!!!!! Even parts for vintage reels. Delivery is super quick as well.

10/23/2024 Easy to order parts and they shipped fast. Great seller! Hope to do business with them again! If you do not find what you are looking for do a Google search with Mystic Reel Parts in the search with your model. I have a Penn 285 and 9 and it took me to the exact page for both. Also have the reel schematics.

I luckily found MysticParts via a Google search. Their website is comprehensive and I was at a loss on what I needed. Fortunately the “contact us” option was user friendly. To my delight I got a personalized and VERY helpful response right away. She asked questions to fully understand my needs and then followed up with links to the right parts. We continued our email exchange regarding my second reel issue and, again, she was extremely knowledgeable and gave me both practical as well as professional solutions.
If you need reel parts and assistance with repair and maintenance, do not hesitate to work with them.
