Works well for what it is only negative is the drag knob feels cheap but the reel was cheap so I guess that’s to be expected
Pros

Cons

This is a well built reel. It is made for smaller line and a smaller amount of line. This is a great bargain for a quality reel.

Honestly

I would go with the 3009m, 2009m, or 9m instead of these. When i asked to see one in a local store they seemed really chintzy, which suprises me from Penn. Maybe too much "Chinesium" in them or something.

Great Price for a Penn

Got two reels from Tackledirect.com but haven't used them yet. Spooled with lead core to troll lakes and Long Island Sound. Other reels I was looking at were twice the price and not made to fish saltwater. Will add to review after I fish the heck out of it.
Pros
  • Built in line counter / smaller size than my other Penns / smooth reeling action
Cons
  • Free spool lever feels stiff / Made in China
