Hello from Georgia, I have been a member of AT for about a year but have not really posted much on the forum. I am a bonified Penn reel addict. I know a few of the members from Facebook and eBay. I have gotten a good bit of historical info from this forum. The members I have interacted with are great people and I look to have great interactions with more members as time goes on . This is a great forum and a seems to be a great place to bounce ideas around. Cheers Joey  :d

Hi
Hi, my name is Lee and I have a fishing gear problem.

I have all of the answers, yup, no, maybe.

Yes, I fish with some of my Penn reels, My favorite is the Long Beach #259 ( I have about 25 in various configurations ) although someone has me gaining a greater appreciation for the 113H. I fish LB 259s in the surf for POMPs and whatever else will bite. I fish smaller Penn conventional reels and Spinfishers  on the flats for trout redfish and whatever else will bite. Offshore I take my bigger senators and always have my Torque 40N which is a dream to fish with, bottom fishing for grouper, snapper, or whatever will bite. I am going in to a new territory in the next month or so doing some trolling, trying to target king mackerel and wahoo and of course whatever will bite. 

Maxed Out, on a side note I have to get my Albacore from an outside source, because I can't eat tuna from a can anymore.
