i bought my penn 4 years ago and have caught flathead to trout to tailor. Its quality does not match its a cheap price. The quality is amazing (enough said). the only negative comment i have is its weight. it is very heavy for its size which can be a pain for some people.

This is a well priced metal bodied fishing reel that will keep catching you fish for many years, if looked after. It has a fast retrieve and good line lay so you don't get wind knots when using braided lines. Its a solidly built reel with smooth gearing and smooth drag, which are both needed to catch that big fish. Its a reel that you can chuck around and not have to worry that it will fail when you really need it.
Metal frame body. Smooth drag and gears. Good line lay which is especially good for braided lines to avoid wind knots. Infinite anti-reverse. Fast retrieve.
Drag could be a little more smoother.
