Re: Shimano Bait Runner 3500 vs Penn LiveLiners
I am disgusted with the amount of corrosion in my Penn 975 conventional and the arrogance of some Penn employees (management) on my website. The arrogance was noted in the spring, the corrosion was noticed this week.
As far as reliability, you are hard pressed to beat an older 704Z converted to a manual pickup or a plain old 706Z (almost same reel stock bailless). While I am very impressed with my Van Staal I still can't justify the $650 retail price and have a hard time swalling the super deal I got on one. The Shimanos are nice but don't like getting dunked much, the recent Penns are not the stalwart of fishing the used to be... How much you willing to spend on a real??
