As in Penn won't keep the product, the product won't physically last a year, or Penn will be assimiliated by Zebco?

When I think of Penns I think of workhorses, your Chevy truck of fishing reels. The little ones are a little light and rough around the edges like an S10, The bigger ones are pretty solid like a full size chebby but still have their 70's engineering in some places (small line roller & non angled frame / pushrod technology & lousy power steering). So this leads me to think that the Captiva (is that a town in Shengxou Province?) is going to be like the Chevy LUV truck of the late 70's - lota perks but will corrode on you in a few months. I hope they can prove me wrong and while I like some of their baitcasters I think their better spinning days are behind them...
