i own a new 706z, i've never fished it, will this one need to be balanced? (i'm not sure why this is being done) or is macs. reel being balanced because of switching out the side plate?

It doesn't need to be balanced. It's a matter of personal preference. And the side plate has nothing to do with it being out of balance. It's due to Penn never putting a counterweight opposite the pick-up arm in the 706 cup. They have one in the 704, but not the 706.

If you're used to a super-smooth reel with a balanced rotor, the wobble in the cup might bother you. Many people fish 706s just they way they come.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
