-Sell the Penn 6500. This was my first saltwater reel ever. While it initially worked okay I had problems later on with the anti-reverse.

-Replace it with a 704z (w/ manual conversion kit). Sports Authority has the reels for like $75 and the conversion kit is an extra $5.00. I'm sure you could get used even cheaper. Spool up with 20 lb. Fireline and you have yourself a nice Rhody spinning setup. I have some extra reels if you are interested.

-Think I saw Weekapaug B&T with a nice chromed 706z in the display counter.
