have them both. The penn live liner drag, while I like the design concept better it breaks down often. I send in the reel every season and it still craps out. Terrible from the surf, will not last 3 weeks. From a boat you might get more use out of it. The shimano has never failed. IMO the new shimano is the better reel.
(I wish they would make a platinum series baitrunner though)
