Makes me still Love my old Diawa 7700A. 41 years old and only had to put new drag washers on it. Not counting cleaning and re-lubing of course. The prices for comparable Reels is scary when your on a budget, SSA now. It's like finding the cheapest bait prices around. Blood Worms are/were at like $14-$15 a dozen up here in Maryland. Walmart had them for aobut $13 but you had to be there the day after they delivered the new ones in.
Know what you mean audigger bout that ssa got to skin them dollars back.

I picked up a Penn Spinfisher V this past winter at 50% off because they came out with a new model. Used it all summer and fall for fluke and Schoolie stripers. Great for kyak and surf fishing where taking a saltwater bath is always a possibility.
