GT330
by JC on Aug 11, 2008
"I have used Penn Reels for all my life. I am 57 years young. I fish about 3 days of every week. Penn reels have lost all of their quality. My 330 and 320's have all had to be repaired for the drag locking up. The 209's and 309's are just junk. I used to be a die hard Penn enthusiast. Sorry, but you asked. John Carbone..."
