Mike P had a suggestion that should make the new owners of Penn at least blink. The 560's weight and lower line capacity make it less desirable for the surf. the reel is solid and smooth but falls short in size for surf. Penn for all it's worth and the following it has, has'nt put anything in R&D to catch up with the times? Most all their too late entrys into the popular market has ended in distaste recently. Z series out of production in the near future? Why continue to produce a reel that lasts forever? There ain't no money in that? The SS series has been taking a licking but still decent. Maybe the new blood will do something? Sorry to say, I won't buy a Jap car but will a reel. Prospector
