REEL INFO: Beachmaster - Offering top features like super smooth star drags, light weight aluminum spools and powerful gearing systems - at popular prices. Each model is built with pride in the USA. A great choice for boat, bay and surf fishing for a wide range of medium gamefish such as flounder, weakfish, bluefish, bonito and tautog. (1995 Penn Catalog)
HISTORY:
First built before 1941, this reel was not known as a beachmaster, but simply called a "light tackle casting reel". In the mid 50's Penn decided to put reels in named series with similar reels, and the Beachmaster series was born, featuring the 155, 160 and 165 models. Models 160 and 165 are similar, with the difference that the 165 lacked the star drag. There is a 156 model, but we have no information about that reel at this time.

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.
