thanks for the information guys, I'd been looking into the, stella, saltiga myself. I fish penns now and a few times this year there was absolutely no way they couldda made it more than one night where I was fishing, I used a mitchell the plastic sealed one name escapes me, ( I forget stuff)as a band aid and even that was screaming for help at times. Very informative post, I think the penn 7500's will be retired this spring and see some light chunking duty or go on loaner rods. I'm not really looking into a vs as an option as the design seems a bit antiquated (guys replacing the drag with penns ht100 etc), I could be wrong and that decision is based on feedback and information I've come across and talking with guys who beat on theirs.. The warranty on the Stellas/ and Saltigas I think are what will sway my final decision.
