New Penn reel

[RuddeDogg]

Got a chance to look at the new Penn Sargus Spinning Reel. Great looking reel, all black metal, but one draw back. It's a little on the geavy side. It is offered in 4 sizes. Below is a list with suggested line capacities.

SG2000 115/6LB
SG3000 145/8LB
SG4000 195/10lb
SG5000 220/14LB
SG6000 230/17LB

Like I said not a bad lookin reel, feels god but it a little heavy.

What's the price on one? Looking at the SG5000 if it matters.

It's a very Nice Reel. Paired it with a Tsunami 10'. Loaded it with 17# Suffix 40# BG Shock. All I had! Cast a Long Way. Fished it 2x's. Can't wait too test out the Drag on some Fish. It's a Very nice Reel. Yeah' Made in China!

I checked out Greg's site and didn't notice an anti-reverse/free spool control knob. Can it be placed in free spool?
