HOW TO IDENTIFY WHICH VERSION OF THE 30VSW THAT YOU HAVE
| Identifying your version of 30VSW
|
There are two versions of the 30VSW with enough differences to cause problems if you order the wrong parts. Especially relevant to the clamp studs and reel stand.
Penn used serial numbers to distinquish the two versions but we have since found out that their numbers were not accurate. So use the method below to identify your reel.
TAKE A LOOK AT YOUR REEL STAND:
This is the most simple way to tell which version you have.
NEWER Version: 30-30VS stand w/34-70VS
Flat headed stud which fits through the holes in the stand then slides sideways to
lock into the square opening on the stand. Stand/stud are NOT compatible w/Older housings.
OLDER Version: 30-20T stand with curved sides that allows 34-70 stud to screw UP into the housing itself.
