1. Stop selling spinning reels altogether. Save a $3mil lost, stop selling all spinning reek products, while foreign competition continues to pump reel after reel into the market.

The first step that penn should have asked well before it got to 3 mil or even 1 Mil is why are we loosing money. Product support?? If Penn had addressed the issues long ago this would not be an issue.
If Penn is serious about this they should fix the problems.
The main people who supported penn were verterans. Now if they do not have a choice of US made spinners they may as well choose the best feel and fit. If Penn can step up than fine if not only time will tell.

MikeCC, How about this for believing: Within five years, Penn will regain any lost ground from the past 15 year hiatus and move to the top of the food chain once again. Don't worry, there are still many that believe in Penn, and this includes Dealers up and down and around the coast. And as far as believing, Penn believes in Dealers that believe in us.

I hope Penn regains a lot of ground.
I also hope that penn listens to this message . There is a lot of knowledge on this board . Reels that we have been asking for years. Most of us feel that nobody has listened. You are a step in the right direction.

Here we are, launching new, improved, and revolutionary products and/or accessories; not really the sign of a company that does not believe in itself. What about the new Penn Dura-Drag, the Baja Special, the 118 new rods that we designed for 2005, the new fishing line that we launched this January, the new XXXX and XXXX-X that we can't talk about yet?

You don't want to get me going on the short comings of some of new products and gold lable program.I do like the swimsuites tho
As far as line every one and their brother has new line . The reason Pure fishing aquiring Stren and the big 3 Wholesalers cant sell pure fishing products.
The biggest profit market is line so why not lets make it someone has to fill the gap.
I think if you check I am not your run of the mill tackle dealer. I know the products better than most reps that are supose to show it.
This area is where most companys fail on their products we do not want yes men we want some one who knows the product. I will say on one of the worst snow storms in years Penn reps were at the NET show. Most reps never showed.
If you want to talk call me at the shop on wednesday I'm sure we can have a constructive talk 508-291-0820
