As CB said I am a Penn man, But I am looking to move off them when I start needing stuff.
I have a bunch of different ones, spinning & Conventional
!46 which is the narrow version of the 140 IMO is the best dam reel you will ever use for heavy Fluke fishing!!
I have caught over 2000 pounds of Fluke in a season with noting more then a quick rinse in fresh water after each trip.
The thing has been dunked, dropped, banged you name its seen it!!
With the one CB gave me I now have 4, well 2 are 140 conversions, They are the same reel except for the width.
I also have 2 Jigmaster 500, they are also work horses and make a great reel for bass fishing!!
They are a bit heavy but work well!
I bought new reel a couple of years ago a Penn 535 to replace the Jigmaster, Its a great reel and made of graphite. Its a great reel for eeling as it has a 6:1 and when that bass takes the ell give her a 3 count and BAM, you turn her around fast with that 6:1
So yes I am a Penn man for years now!! One of the reasons it that you can go into almost any Good tackle shop and they are going to have parts right there for you!!
And they take a licking and keep on ticking!!
Here are a few pic's of the man cave!!
