I got a Penn Prion for a small reel a while back. DON'T GET A PENN PRION!!!

My son tried mine and liked it so he got one too.

One day we were snaking 20 pounders off the bottom at 6-mile reef off Haminassett (sp?) and the bail end housing cracked on both of them within ten minutes of each other. When we took them back to their respoective sellers, we got a trade-in allowance toward new Sustains (that's how I got the second 4000).

Penn has discontinued the Prions, for good reason.

DON'T GET A PENN PRION. They look amazingly like a Sustain from the outside.
