REEL INFO:  The Silver Beach reel is the perfect all arouind reel for casting and trolling. This model is equipped with two interchangeable spools, giving the fisherman two different line capacities in one reel. With the lightweight plastic spool the reel has a line capacity of 200 yds. No. 9 and is ideal for surfcasting and squidding. Change in a jiffy to the heavy-duty metal spool, the reel has a line capacity of 200 yds No. 12 and you have an excellent reel for trolling. (1950 Penn Catalog)

HISTORY: This was the successor to the 97 and 98 Silver Beach models. Unlike the 1940's models, this had a brass and a plastic spool, rather than two metal spools.
