Penn 501/Aftco roller stand-up rod

[Ol Pedro]

I have an old Penn 501 metal spool reel. I think it's all original parts not Newelled out. It's in good condition. It's my 40lb. Reel. Asking $40.00.
I also have an all Aftco roller, 5'6" 50 to 80lb. stand-up rod with long forgrip.
It's in good condition with some boat rash. Asking $50.00. Will consider trade for 1/0,2/0,3/0 Senator. Please pm if interested.

Does the 501 have the stock aluminum spool?

Does the 501 have the stock aluminum spool? No it's metal. I think that the original 501's came with plastic or metal spools. The Newell aluminum spools came later.
