Your still sounding defensive JohnR but if you must know I have a Calcutta 400, an Abu Garcia 7000 CL Big Game, a Penn Live Liner,
a Penn Slammer 460, and a squadron of Penn Powergraph reels. The Calcutta, if I recall was about $250.00 and the Abu was $190.00, throw in the Slammer for $160.00. That sounds more like getting my moneys worth. I just cannot justify $500.00 for one reel. I guess if some people have that kind of money to spend and thats what they want, then more power to them. Lets just agree to disagree and have a beer.
