The best thing about Penn reels is you can get parts most anywhere, the worst thing about Penn reels is you will need those parts.

I did the same thing to a 6500SS twice. I was using the reel in heavy current and would put alot of pressure on fish. Stopped using it in heavy current and it has been fine for 6 years.
