I get to test some of the nicest stuff on the market and Id have no problems fishing exclusively with this reel for years to come

Ive never had to manually strip line during the fight and the drag system as a whole is remarkably smooth

This is understandable and almost to be expected considering that Penn is a US-based company (though most of its reels are made in China) and Daiwa is a Japanese company (but with US offices and factories in China, Malaysia, and Vietnam)

Finally, make sure the reel is well-constructed and has good sealing especially if you're fishing in corrosive saltwater
