I use Penn reels because, they're what I've always used.
I had two crap out on me last year and I am considering trying out another brand.
For my schoolie, daytime, bluefish rod, I use a St Croix tidemaster, 8ft, med action. I had a Penn 6500 on it that is out of commission. I fish in the surf and frequently get it wet.
I do not want to spring for a VS and I am looking for a PEnn alternative. Any suggestions? Since this is a smaller set up, I'm looking to spend less that $125, any help is greatly appreciated!
