John the C-5 is 5-bearings infinite-reverse
I believe it only has a single cast controol on the crank side. a thumb bar casting system with magnetic breaking , green in color with gold accents & gold ported paddle handle.
Shimano 400TE
that reel falls under their top shelf program which is price protected .
I will see if they offer a either a guide or dealer program simular to ABU's

I have played with the new Slammer reels they are metal framed made in the US. oversized line rollers, 6 stainless bearings comes in 2 sizes a 460 = 240yds of 12lb,
560 = 275yds of 17lb
It's about time that penn offered the upgrades on the reels & this reel looks like it will take a beating cost looks around $110-115
