Penn 525 mag falling apart
I took out my 525 mags for tuning oiling etc the other night and noticed 3 out of four had cracks in the frame that went the whole way through meaning the reels are absolutley useless so I suggest I would have a good luck at your reels its a pity abu didnt make reels slightly bigger than the 6500 and smaller than the 7000 version.
So i dont think they are as strong as they make them out to be and I look after my reels well.
I might just send the 3 reels back to penn and see what they can do for me.

thats what you should do send them back to peen uk. with a letter explaning the situation and you need your money back or new reels in place of yours.

Are the cracks curved in 2 places and straight and then a 45 degree angle? There are moulded joins on the casing. I'm sorry if it sounds patranising (wheres the spell check!!). I had a shock when I noticed mine
which are 1yr old and have been dropped several times on rocks. Cheers good luck.

In all fairness jolly jock I know the difference between a crack and markings from a mould as you can actually pull the plastic apart as the reel is useless just picture a ring of plastic that goes the whole way round in a circle then use both hands to pull them gently and the next thing the ring can be pulled apart exposing light etc the reel is cracked FULL STOP
