Penn Spinfisher

[Flattiehunter991]

I was talking to a bloke in a tackle store the other day and he told me Penn are now made in China, as oppose to the US... just wondering how long ago the switch was made and whether i'll really notice the difference in quality of a US built Spinfisher as oppose to the Chinese made one.

Also.. Baitrunner vs Spinfisher... what's your preference ?

Thanks!

was some time ago

the US made ones are alot more solid

but ive had one of the china made ones for a few yrs and had zero issues with it

great reel and a great price

as for the fisher vs baitrunner all depends on what your fishing for

i use a 750ssm on a 7foot rod for throwing big sluggos at kings and also use it on one of my downriggers

works a treat
