The Stella also has about a million parts.

My old lady got me a Penn Torque 9 spinning reel for Christmas, It is all billet machined aluminum and 100% American made. Cool thing is the drag... it has a max drag of 41 lbs! Way more than I need but if I want to free jig some Blue fin I can. I mainly use my old slammer series with the ht-100 drags, they were the last usa built slammer models prior to being made in china. I have some of the new spinfisher 5's and they aint bad for what they are but made in china stickers on them.
