One good piece of advice that we have found from experience about the Penn Senators is to make sure you manually stop the spool with your thumb BEFORE flipping the switch. We have had a couple of the 113hsp's break because the spring on the lever would snap.
And watch your thumb as the knot between the wire and the backing comes around if you are thumbing the spool. If there's a burr there, ouch- a-mama. I get bit every now and then. Not fun.
Roller tips make a HUGE difference wire line jiggin if you are going to do it holdin the rod. Allows you to jig on the wire at any depth with out kinkin the wire which can lead to break offs. That way you can run just one straight shot of wire instead of sections like most people seem to do.
A 113hsp can hold more than 300 feet of wire.
