I don't know about the rest of the guys but I fish about 100 nights a year IN the surf. I fish the rock bars in Southern RI where I am waist deep for hours at a time. I use primarily 704Zs and 706Zs. My 704Zs are converted to manual pickup (no bail). Other than breaking a dog spring once a year I have virtually no problems and I catch a lot of fish so the do get a workout. I do wash them off evry trip and clean the drag washers every couple of trips.
The Penns have been my workhorses for 25 years or more. I use Calcutta 400s for my conventional rods and they also have been great. Just my opinion.
