HOW TO IDENTIFY WHICH VERSION OF THE 30VSW THAT YOU HAVE
 | Identifying your version of 30VSW |
Penn used serial numbers to distinquish the two versions but we have since found out that their numbers were not accurate. So use the method below to identify your reel.
TAKE A LOOK AT YOUR REEL STAND:
This is the most simple way to tell which version you have.
- NEWER Version: 30-30VS stand w/34-70VS
Flat headed stud which fits through the holes in the stand then slides sideways to
lock into the square opening on the stand. Stand/stud are NOT compatible w/Older housings.
OLDER Version: 30-20T stand with curved sides that allows 34-70 stud to screw UP into the housing itself.
Go to your version of the reel:

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.
