Surfmaster
REEL INFO: Surfmaster - To hard working saltwater anglers, the Penn general purpose reels, such as the Surfmaster, are as highly valued as mom, apple pie and the good old USA. These reels offer great value and serious features like durable aluminum spools, precision machined gears and Penn's famous HT-100 multi-disc star drag.(2000 Penn Catalog)
HISTORY: With the first model built in the late 1940's, this reel has seen many improvements over the years construction-wise. The surfmaster series is built along the lines of the Squidder reel, and consisted of 4 models: models 100, 150, 200 and 250. The 250 was the first of the series to be discontinued, in the late 80's. The other models were discontinued by Penn in 2002.
250: One of the 4 Surfmaster models, these reels were manufactured for a long time, and the 250 model is no exception. First sold with 2 plastic "easy-cast" spools, but with an option to buy a seperate metal spool, this model was the only Surfmaster to be discontinued by Penn before the aluminum spools became available.

Take Apart Construction
The term "Take-Apart" refers to the feature of quick and easy take-down of the reel for cleaning or spool change. To effect this, unscrew the knurled take-apart screw ( part TA 200 ) three turns to the left and then pull it outward ( away from plate ), at the same time rotate the right side plate about 1/4 inch to the left ( counter-clockwise ) and pull it away from the reel frame, taking care not to drop the freed spool. To re-assemble, reverse the entire operation, making sure to screw the take-apart screw into the reel frame, as otherwise the right side plate might be lost.
