My 50VSW is in the shop, and I'm trying to find a 30VSW to buy (which I was going to buy later anyway) I have called everywhere trying to find one by tomorrow, and NO ONE HAS ONE! HELP!
THANKS JEN!!! Got it coming from Anglers overnite My 50 VSW at Ollie's isn't going to be ready until next wed. However, my downriggers are at Ollie's, and they can be picked up if you don't mind. As busy as I am trying to get out of here tomorrow, that would REALLY help!
Looks like you already got one, but Fisherman's has had a 50 on their sale table for over a month. $500 and some small change if I remember right, but I'm sure you could get the price down from that.
Good luck in your quest to burn one of them babies up!

Re: NEED HELP finding Penn Int 30VSW
Bruce - Glad you found the reel you wanted - and that it's comin in overnight.
Is it parts that's holding up the work at Ollie's? Or labor? If it's not parts, I might could give them a call - there's a guy I know that works there... did last year anyway. Lemme know and I'll see if I can work some magic.
In the past I have found ollies to be good on servicing steelhead reels and such but to ask them to do a Penn international or Shimano TLD series Reel is a stretch at best because of their low volume in these reels. especially if you actually need parts. It took 3 weeks to get a penn 45 GLS in and supposedly fixed. I was in the parking lot testing it out and it was not repaired. they changed the drag washer and lubed it but did not fix the original problem. I needed parts to fix it so I was out another 3 weeks right before the Halibut opener last year. Luckily I had another backup reel....
I frequent several boards and in southern Cali they have tons of this work done and their guys have all the parts on hand for these reels. (it might take three weeks to get an Abu garcia fixed though....)
The counter personnel have always been courteous and appreciative of my issues but I wont send my deep sea stuff to them any more....
My steelie and salmon gear have their business.
