Now for the challenge of the CT River, I fished there for shad and bass before. Is the challenge getting through Holyoke safely to the river and having your car or "SUV" still there when you get back and if it is there, is the thing stripped down and on blocks cause someone stole the tires and ripped off the sound system and the airbags? I can see there is a challenge there and you definetly need a well built reel to survive that! Sorry but I couldn't resist. BTW, the "challenge" thing is sooooo.......whatever.

even a VS won't save you in holyoke! the area i am talking about is a bit further south. i know you have been at it a while fishing the sands of the cape. put brade on a 704 and make it do what you need it to do when the water in the river is running 8' over flood stage and you are hooked in to a 30# bass. now try to keep that fish away from the trees floating downriver that you are also dodging in the current because you are wading in the middle of the river, at night, up to the tops of your waders. oh yeah, keep that same fish from running right into the trees that are now under several feet of water near the shore because the river is so high. a penn WILL NOT do it. i have been there and proved it. i have a pile of green, black, and whatever 704's and 706's on my reel shelf that have to stay home now. i have nothing against you flaptail, i just strongly take offense to your comments. you may be right in your veiws for some people, but not all. you use the same logic as one that generalizes all blondes as dumb.
oh yeah, V8 dodge durango SLT.
