I choose the shimano baitrunner reels any day over the Penn reels. Two reasons 1. shimano has a water proof drag system, so you don't have to take it apart all the time to clean the corrosion out like you do in the Penn. 2. The Penn reels have this problem with the bail flipping over while casting. If you can't afford one new try EBAY. I have purchased some nice shimano reels for $60 - $80 (new).

P.S. I own 3 penn reels & 3 baitrunner reels so I do have a good comparison between the two makes.
