I am not a big fan of big name reels. Though I have a few penn's in my box. but I recently got back from a deep sea fishing trip where I was the only one with a spinning reel back-up. after several yellowfin and dolfinfish I switched to my Salt Striker Spinning reel and ugly stick. I cought several more tuna and mahi mahi and hooked into a blue shark and fought it for 20 minutes or so. the Salt Striker Reels I would recommend to anyone. I now have replaced all of my other spinning reels with the Salt Striker reels. Two Years ago I bought my first SS80 Salt Striker I went fishing for Kings in the Coquille river in Oregon. The biggest King that I cought was just shy of 42lbs, several in the 36lbs range. Then my brother and I went out for lingcod. We, in the two hours for fishing cought more fish than you could dream of. lings, rocks, all kinds of cod's, and a few silvers. that reel was awsome.
The more ball bearings the better the reel and at 10, the Salt Striker is a great reel
