I've found the Boca to be extremely durable and the drag to be the smoothest,most dependable of any reel.As far as Penns go the only one I've owned that stands up is my old bailess 704.I've had both SS6500 and a Slammer 560 literally blow up on relatively minor fish(15lb bass and bluefish).The newer SSg and SSm who's to say? But I won't chance it.
