Penn 700z series speak to me. I haven't found a reel that I like better. Instant anti reverse can be a pia when you overcrank. Ya gotta flip the friggin' bail and try again. In the dark. I like the way that you can back pedal them to keep a lure swimming in the wash. I've had no problems with windknots with them either. I've tried bail-less, it's just not for me, trying to catch the line. Just too much time looking at the reel and not the water. This is just me, I'm not trying to sell Penns.
