Was doing some surfing and found a few sites selling the new SSM reels.Its the
old 6500-8500SS reels with all the same improvements as the SSG reels with the exception of having a metal body hence the M in SSM.

With the improvements the 650 might very well make a very decent plugging reel.Curious as to whether the 6500SS manual pickup kit would work with the new reel.

The Penn site has zilch on these new reels yet they're already being sold.Hmm.
