Penn International 30

[Ky Grady]

Looking to get a few of these for trolling as I use Penn GTI 10 for bottom fishing and don't think the GTI would hold up to a Mahi ot Tuna run while trolling.

Figured I would get a few of the old school 30's to troll with. Looked at the new 30VSX but didn't want to drop over 500 per reel to get started.

What's a good price for one if it's in good shape?

Thanks

30's are nice, depending on what you are targeting. i like wides and i like two speeds. but i'm looking for blue fin tuna. so i use 50s and up.

a 30 or 30 wide used - check ebay and you will get an idea of what they sell for. check the hull truth in the classifieds for guys that may be selling them.

also, you can look at shimano TLD 50's or something smaller TLD 25s. They also make TLDs in 20, 30, 50 2 speed.

hope this helps.

I have a pair of older 30s in the garage that I would be willing to sell. PM if you're interested.

That's what I call service!

I'm sure you'll get a great deal.

A graphite frame in anything over a 30 is asking for trouble. You can pick up an older Okuma TG50, prep it properly and it'll be much better than a TLD for the same or less money. If you're only after schoolie bluefin a 30W is more than enough reel.
