I just bought the penn pursuit for around 47.99 times 4 with free shipping for four of them.. any how this is going from quantum optix op60f to the purll8000 series.... I do think there better made then the quantum optix's I also have three penn warfare reel in the size 30 I just bought...... is it me or is the older usa made reel better made? or am I just mistaken? I also have a usa made pen 712z and a 209m usa made the usa one's seemed better made then the new over seas reels like the 209m and 309... this is the question for you salt guy of many years have the current over seas penn reels held up to the test of time like the older usa made ones? or should I look at another brand? I use mine mostly for fresh right now steel head, salmon, brown trout, and walleye... but could go to salt at any time might move down south to Florida sooner or later only time will tell ... thanks for any info that can be given...
