Is stainless steel a better material than chromed bronze for a reel handle arm? I thought it was, but I see the chromed bronze Penn handles at Scotts are more expensive than the stainless ones.
I`m refering to the Baja special and Torque 200 handles which are interchangable.

i'd vote for electropolished stainless steel.

Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.

I have been wondering the same thing, and was wondering if there were decent stainless arms for Penn 114s and 115s? I assume that the standard handles are brass/bronze.

Well thanks guys for your replies. I got the answer I was hoping for.
