Reel suggestions?

The new spinfisher is definately going to get a look, just wish it had a year under its belt, to expose any durability issues. It does seem a little heavy for my liking but if it truly holds up as a watertight reel like they advertise, then for the money, it wont be beat. Im hoping to get a good look at it at the upcoming shows.

It seems that Penn's interpretation of the term "water tight" is very much different from our (fishermen) expectations of a water tight reel. There have been issues with their new reels and water intrusion into the main body of the reel.
In my opinion, they lack a couple of key seals in critical areas to be called "water tight". Penn feels differently about the use of the term though. I still feel that it's a very well made reel with some nice features for the money. Water resistant would be a more appropriate term.
