Actually, out of all the penn reels I own these have held up the best (besides the 50W's). I don't cast with them but put on some PP braid and you have a great fluke reel IMO. All they get is a rinse off and annual service and fresh line each season. They are light and have enough power for deep bottom fishing. I would not get one for surfcasting but I suppose it could be ussed that way. The only issue I have is "the button" could be better designed. I would not buy another one (would get the small gold shimano levelwind) but I think these work good for bottom fishing.
