While noodling around the penn site I noticed they have started manufacturing the obsolete penn z series reels with no revamping done of the design so looks like those old penn Z706's might be getting dust blown off and rebuilt if the reels and replacement parts are released over here.

No sign of that happening in NZ that I am aware of.

It is suprising what gets released into NZ and what doesn't like the penn battle and sargus reels. But would be good if they do send some this way as i would love to have a go at rebuilding an old penn z series which was my first surf reel along with an old one piece cane surfcaster that was handed down to me from my grand father when I first started fishing

Individuals may be bringing in oddball reels but as NZ agents we have a new range of rods and reels and a couple of the old stalwarts like the Penn Senators and Jigmaster Reels. Some of the odd ones coming in will not be covered by any warrantees.

I have only seen those sargus and battle spin reels on places like ebay and with overseas online retailers, preferably I buy all my rods and reels local for warranty reasons and it also supports local businesses. Just one question for ya though gary are spare spools available for the 850SSm as that is one thing I have been browsing around for and can't seem to find a thing.
