Do you have a spare 704 / parts lying around? The one thing they are great for is bring easy to repair and trash them all over. If the bank is light - stick with the Penn until things improve?? I know it is hard to say MUST RESIST TEMPTATION

Early ZBs, thousands of VS were US made - not sure of the serial # cutoffs.

I believe the VS cut off was right around 7000. That being said I don't think you are sacrificing anything buying a reel made in china
