  180, 185 Baymaster Reel Specs  

REEL INFO: Baymaster - These lightweight reels are ideally suited for light tackle fishing. All reels in the series are equipped with free spool action, sliding click and one-shot lubrication system. (1966 Penn Catalog)

HISTORY: 
This reel was manufactured for the first time before 1941, with a plastic spool, and wasn't discontinued until the early 70's. In 1941 models were not part of any series, but by 1958 the models #180 and 185 were collected under the name "Baymaster" and the 185-model was added to the series. In the late 80's the metal spool was the default, but the plastic spool was still available as an accessory.



190 Bay-Star (Original NOT a Seaboy) - Ideal reel for light tackle bay fishign. Capacity 100 years #9 Line. Reel seat fits fresh and salt water rods. the spiral cut gears are triple multiplying for speedy action. Free spool clutch is operated by a snap lever on rim. Spool end play can be taken up by an adjustable bearing. A sliding click provides for arresting spool. Reel can be lubricated from the outside. Metal Parts are nickel-plated. The small streamlined end plates are beautifully engraved and 2 ¾" in diameter. (1950 Penn Catalog)

HISTORY: 
190 Bay-Star reel originally had options for bakelite spool w/two stand types. 190 (for baitcasting rods with offset reel seats) and 190S (Long Stand for Saltwater Rods).
190M and 190MS were the same stands with Metal Spool.
MysticParts.com NOTE: We have the 190 Bay-Star cross listed in the Seaboy specs only to denote that they are not the same reel/series in case someone thinks their baystar is a seaboy due to the 190 part number being re-used by Penn.

12/21/2023 Got it! Its perfect. Thank you so much. It was just on a whim that I even searched for this part. Hard to believe that I could get a reel part for a reel that is 30 plus years old. Thanks again,
