To start off I have 3 spiral wrapped Seeker Hercules beauties that were built by Jonathan Vadney and I'm looking for reels to pair them with. If the pic posted you will see the top one is 40-80#, middle is 15-30# and the bottom one is 15-40#. I have 7 different reel brands however I need to focus on getting either Penn or Abu Garcia.

In my Penn collection I currently have:
Penn 113H Y. T. Spec.   
Penn Jigmaster      
Penn 525 Mag         
Penn 525 Mag (Kolekar handle)      
(2) Penn Baja Special   
Penn Formula 15 KG

I'm liking what I'm seeing with the Torque 25N star drag but I haven't pulled the trigger yet...

I also have a pair of Daiwa Sealine SG 27 LC that I'm considering selling and replacing with the Abu Garcia Ambassadeur Alphamar LC model (16) for salmon. Thoughts?


Alan's reel repair saves lives! Just ask my friend who dropped my Penn on the garage floor.

Great start Baja Bev!

Think you're gonna need more rods.

Nothing but good choices ahead.

I really like my Penn Fathom 2 speeds.  15NLD, 25NLD (Narrow), 30LD, 40NLD (narrow) and 60LD.  Very Reasonable price for 2 speeds.  If you keep an eye out on e-bay, you can get pretty darn good deals.  Keeps you in the PENN family.
