Penn reels have been my preference for 40 years. They have, however been declining in quality. I have two Penn Squidders that are 30 years old. Two years ago, I tried to buy a new one. Every one in the store had the same defect. The spool adjustment would not work. Across the board, thier models do not compare with those of the competition. This is sad, a piece of Americana is passing before our eyes. This must be a conspericy by the tree huggers and animal(fish) rights groups.
