You say they added infinite anti-reverse? Maybe I'll look at them again.
I used to be a die hard Penn SS fan when they were made in Philly. I owned many from 430ss up to 750ss and more when they went to graphite & changed numbering to 4300ss to 5500ss. But, like someone else said, Diawa and Shimano just blew past them. The old style ratchet anti-reverse sucks when its new and really sucks as they age.
Mine are all trash now except a 15+ year old 5500ss on a 7 ft Ugly Stick that still catches (holds my boat records 42 Lb striped bass & 9 Lb Fluke).
