The International baitcasters are crap to begin with. They can make them on Mars for all I care--I'm never buying another one. Plastic bridge plate, jack-in-the-box free spool, and level wind pawls that wear out in a month. No thanks
The only good surf useable reel Penn's come out with in the last 20 years is the 525 Mag. And they stopped making most of their old workhorses.
