I notice the guys in this forum seem to really dig Penns.

Scattergun you can look up all the line capacity, weight, etc. of all Penn reels at mysticparts.com or just get your scale & ruler out. The internet contains a lot of information. All the reel companies put out all the information you are seeking.

yeah but why tell me about scales and rulers?

You ask questions about reels you say you have but don't know how to find out for yourself. Are you making a shopping list for Santa to give to Mom & Dad?

750SS weighs 25.5 oz. No offense, but a simple Google search will get just about any information you want to know about Penn reels. Penn information, unlike a lot of other older spinning reels, is quite easy to find.
