Where is the best place to buy small penn reel parts?

Penn 5500 - the drag adjustment on top of the spool is missing.

Penn graphite series from the 90's (junk) - the screw on part opposite the reel handle on the other side of the reel. Anyone know who sells this stuff reasonable?

Go to www.pennparts.com , they should have anything you need at great prices.

Call the local bait and tackle shops, someone should have parts, the problem with online parts is that the shipping/handling is usually more than the part it self....that part is available if not found locally...search "penn reel parts"....you'll get lots of hits...Mick

Whatever you do, don't take reels to Penn for repairs. I took two reels to Penn last week for repairs. One reel was a 940 and other was a mag 970. I got a call two days later the reels were done and the cost was $78.00. More money than the reels were worth. Apparently, Penn now has a new policy that they charge $9 per reel to just look at them. After the $9 fee I was charged an hourly rate plus parts. In the past, Penn would call and give an estimate. No more. To make matter worse, the reels still don't work right. I was told by the customer service rep that the reels could not be completely fixed b/c the parts needed are no longer made. Gee thanks guys. I now paid $78 for no reason. I will never buy another Penn product simply because of the way I was treated. I am not saying that Penn reels are not good, but I don' t like the way the "new Penn" is treating their customers.
