I am very pleased to hear that. I have a number of spinning reels and only two are Shimano Baitrunner 6500s. The rest are Penn 4500-9500s. Good to hear I will not be disappointed with the 10500.

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).

I've got a smaller battle and have been pleased with, not so much with the rod that came with it
