All of the above are correct.

I have one NIB and ready to go ... in 20 years when my other two wear out. Who cares about the wobble... if you are reeling so fast that the wobble causes a problem you must have a warrant out for you and the cops must have just headed out onto the breachway. As for the roller... when these were first re-isued I got in a conversation on-line with a Penn rep and just wanted to know WHY ON EARTH they did not put a better roller and bearing in the new ones. We all would have paid another $5 for it. Sometimes it really makes me wonder if anyone who is in design and engineering every really tests the stuff they are putting out. But, it's still the best reel for the $$$ made for heavy surf work.
