I think the Penn 712 is my new favorite reel,but I have said that before.They are all my favorites...If I was on a deserted island and could only have one reel I believe it would be a 712.Bream,Bass,Jaws 5,or Megalodon
712 is a great all around reel for a lot of types of fishing.
About the same size as a DQ 220, or a Cardinal "4", strong worm drive drivetrain, overbuilt components and solid materials.
Good work, James!
Best, Fred
Nice looking bass there. Looks like loads of fun.
