Hey there aqauman, I'll try to find out for you from some of the California tackle nuts running around. I bought some of the first Newell reels and worked within a 100 yards of their original factory north of LA. Mr. Newell is a sweetheart. He may be deceased now just not sure. JapanRon [signature]

Hey there aquaman, The quick answer is that it seems Newell doesn't make the 99 kit anymore but there are 'or were' also similar kits made by both Accurate and Tiburon. Seems it turned your Penn into a Newell 332. I've PM'ed you for further details. JapanRon [signature]
