Penn spinners....

[charlie_the_tuna]

So I’ve always used penn reels. I’ve always loved penn reels. I have a bunch of old USA conventionals that operate as intended. I took an old senator apart, cleaned, relubed and put a power handle on. It can pull your house off it’s foundation! I have a few penn spinners as well. A couple old USA and some newer Chinese. THESE REELS ARE SH!T!!!! I just returned a conflict II for warranty. It hasn’t been used 5 months. Some of the others are acting up and I’ll be dammed if I’m gonna dump $50-$75 bucks into a Chinese piece of crap.
What are you guys using? I have a spinfisher ss V 7500 that’s never seen water. It seems like a beast, but who knows if it’s gonna crap out on me after a year or two. I’m not looking to spend 3,4 or 5 beans on a reel.
Shimano? Daiwa? What?
