Well hopefully Penn has moved forward with the firing of all that upper management and can get some people in there that can turn the ship around. They do have the Penn name and that is probably the most widely recognized name in fishing. Now they just need to get back to the drawing board and make some decent quality products. It can be done but they need to hire people that know how to turn them in that direction. Seems they have been resting on their laurels too long. If they wait too long though there are a lot of reel manufacturers out there just waiting to jump on their market share, if it hasn't happened already. As far as the relationship with their customers I guess they need work in that area too from what I have read. I hate to see any American manufacturing buisness that was so good at one time fall so far. Paul
