Does anyone make a replacement Main Gear for the Penn Battle 2?
We have a number of the 3000 II that the main gears shed teeth. Replaced them, and a year later have to do it again. I asked Penn if the Battle 3 gear will fit. I will not.
Does anyone make an after market gear??? No sympathy.
Interesting…
I had a 5000 series that was only a few months old that had a couple teeth shear off on the main gear. Lost a nice fish because of that. I tossed it in the dumpster at Boca grande
I wrote Penn and got a boilerplate note back telling me the price of the gear…
Sad.
Their customer service leaves a lot to be desired. Putting it politely.
I talked to a rep that a seminar about a broken rod.
He stated something like, but if it was a combo what do you expect it was $20 rod. He also said that they source their rods from anywhere and everywhere.
Basically the cheapest junk they can find.
Will check. Thank you.
We can repair them, but Penn uses the cheapest pot metal to make the main gear. If they made a quality gear, the real would be great.
