Reel Specifications
Bridge City, 107 Bay Head, Bayhead (see the 85 Seaboy for parts)
Penn Bridge City Reel
Found online on a forum post:
"The Bridge City was made from 1934 to 1940. They came in 100, 200, 250, and 300 yard models. For an older Penn reel I feel they are not that hard to find in the 200, 250 & 300 yard reels. Any 100 yard reels are harder to find. " ~Posted by Bap 62

Penn Bay Head Reel
Cross Compatibility Info
You can use the internals/spool/stand from the 85 Seaboy to repair the Bridge City and Bay Head reels. You probably could use the side plates as well, but those identify which model the reel is so it's not recommended to change them. ~MizMo

"Penn Low End Reels Rule Of Thumb::
1----A Bay Head is a Low priced Bridge City
2---A Bridge City is an early version of the Penn 85 Sea Boy.
Parts between those three reels should be interchangeable. "

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.
