I just found this site through a link from one of Alan Tani's tutorials. Fantastic site and I am amazed by the amount of knowledge and experience the members have and share. I will be doing a lot more learning than teaching on here. I have always owned and liked PENN reels, they haven't let me down very often, and with a few exceptions, I haven't felt the need to switch to any other brand in a big kind of way.A few years ago I decided to service and restore all my reels as a winter project. I didn't realize I had so many, from Levelmatics, to Senators and a few spinning reels as well. I relied on You Tube as a guide, but invariably I would have a question that I would have to figure out for myself. I've probably rebuilt or serviced 30 or 40 reels at this point, and I like having them in perfect condition and knowing how they function. Like many people, I have probably spent too much money on a couple of reels, but I fish them hard and I enjoy it. I live on LI and mostly fish from a boat although I started out as a surf fisherman way back when. Still have my 704 greenie and it is still a great reel.

The first rule of fishing is to fish where the fish are. The second rule of fishing is to never forget the first rule.
