There's a good reason guys are scratching together the $ to get the VS or the ZB. If you're going to swim, you really need one of those. I did it for years with the Penn 706, but it meant tearing the reel down every day and repacking it, and occasionally replacing the main bearing. Sounds worse than it is; it's actually really easy to rebuild the 704 and 706. Maybe a 10-15 minute job.
