[Pylstert]

On paper it looks good, maybe Penn will make a comeback?

 

[damian27]

[Shorty]

Now that looks GOOD!!!!

Too little to late,like Land Rover,they didnt take the Japanese seriously.Awesome looking reel though.Amate of mine has the older one that he uses for Dogtooth in Tanzania,he swears by it.

 

[Prodigal Sun]

If the Rand ? Dollar keeps heading in the direction we like it may be worth the spend.
Wonder what it will come in at?
if they want to make a comeback they may launch at competitive price?

 

[Carlos Moran]

That is their problem,normally the same price as Tigra and Trinidad,like that it will take a long time to take off.

[HimaL]

anything newer then a pen500 looks good to me.....but the worst looking reel ever must be the okuma classic...i think you buy them broken....

[The Moose]

But does it come in silver with a gun metal spool?:clow

 

[mikesfb]

Gotta agree with neil, maybe its the angle of the photo, but that is not a thing of beauty, everything on the right side plate looks too oversized.

 

[spirits]

come on guys, it looks ok, the price to expensive for me but remember the penn 500, it was an excellent reel for the price....this reel might surprise A few guys  

 

[Cpt. Hook]

I like Penn and use them on my boat. This reel looks awesome to me and is super strong, I know that the gears are oversized and can pack a punch.

 

[neilg]

Like the "trini colour" torque more

 

[aquadementia]

Strong reels but DAMN are they loud! Sounds like they have the ratchet permanently on, and when you do put it on it screams like a banshee. Its superiorly irritating
