looking forward to this. need some smaller reels for my 7 and 8fters, and cant afford to buy any more vs's. not saying its a replacement for the vs, but considering these wont see the torture my vs's see they should be a good fit

exactly what im looking for too, cant justify the money for another zee for a rod thats going to see minimal use in the surf. but nice to have solid gear that can be used in different applications.

When I first got my hands on this reel I was skeptical, but I have to say this thing is one hell of a reel for the $$, and when I say we tortured it, we did. I dropped it in the sand on several occasions and did not rinse it off, just went back to fishing and dunking and whatever I could throw at it. And one more thing, there was a problem with the cap that covers the handle through hole and we lost the cap, didn't stop using the reel and even dropped it in the sand and it went in the water with no problems!! It's a great second reel if you are using a VS or ZB but don't be afraid to fish it the same. Penn did a great job with this reel and there were plenty out in testers hands since last year so I think the few minor bugs were addressed. If I was in the market for a reel I would buy one in a heartbeat.......but using VS's since the 200 came out it's hard for me to use anything else.

Now if they would just do Spinfisher Pro (704/06)
