I AM DONE WITH PENN!!!!

Lucky Hook II

I have used Penn reels my entire life. When I started running charters in 2008 I continued to use Penn reels. They reliable, strong and never failed. Until I decided to change my old Penn's for the Penn Battles. I had never had Penn reels lock up on me, have corrosion problems and drag issues like the Penn Battles, they are CRAP!!!! Like the title said "I AM DONE WITH PENN. I am going to try out the new Diawa BG's.

 What were your old penn reels? Spinfisher ssg's, ss, or ssm?

My old PENN reels were ssg’s and ss’s.

I still fish my SS and SSG’s from 25-30 years ago although I don’t use spinners that often.

 I'm wondering why this is funny?
 Those reels will out last any spinfisher penn produces today. Probably most any production reel of today for that matter. 
 If you can't catch fish on those reels you probably dont have mutch buisses fishing. 

 Often when we go there is at least one original spinfisher z series, ssg, ss, or ssm on the boat. For the sake of nostalgia. (With upgraded carbon drag washers.) Now if you think the old leather drag washers are funny. I understand that.

 I'm curious to see if the new BG'S will last as long as the original BG series. Some how I am doubtful they will.
