Hey everybody!  I was encouraged to come on over where there are some Penn Heads who might appreciate reels on a larger scale and who would help me learn all the quirks and twists and turns that Penn made. 

I'm a surf fisherman.  I use bait on a hook, lots of lead, get slime all over my knife and I get wet, sandy, cold and tired.  I throw top dogs under birds and get mad at sharks that eat my trout off the stringer.  I cruise the East Matagorda Peninsula  which is my home turf and I collect Penn reels...build them if I have to and use the X09 level wind models all the time.  I'll post plenty of reels and questions here as long as y'all can put up with it.  Some may have seen my participation elsewhere on the web, but I believe this is where I can focus on the goals I have chosen.

It was Mr. Tani's post about the Sailfisher that started my adventure with Penn.  I'm now running out of house to put shelves in.  Nobody warned me about that.

Welcome from the SoCal Inland Empire!  Glad you are into Penns, but in my time here I have been exposed to reels and brands that I never knew existed. - john

Welcome aboard!
I invited Shellbelly to join after seeing his Penn related posts getting ghosted over on Orca. Not a lot of Penn guys over there.
