Ahab reels SUCK even more. I went thru they're CRAPPY customer service 4 times and gave up in DISGUST. Guy told me the reel wasn't in warranty even though I sent a copy of the sales receipt with it....that was the 4th time a reel had been sent in for service. I told him fix it and send it back or just throw it in the trash bucket cuz I had no interest in playing games with these guys after all I had been through. I got the reel back a week later....fixed...and sold em all on freekbay the next day!

Penn has a NEW reel coming out....called a "Captiva" I seen them and played with one last week, looks very well made and some cool features that no-one else has...Price looks to be decent too.
