In need of new reels for trout reds and Spanish, etc... Have had Penn SS for years and always having to take them in for repair. Have tried the Penn battle but one year into it, it went into the shop. I Have owned one shimano and it never had a problem once. So looks like I'll go with shimano. What is the best, most durable, salt water capable reel out there? Price no issue. With small kids my gear gets treated rough and I wade fish a good bit so my reels get soaked. Love to hear anyone's comment on "the BEST" spinning reel out there. Also, I'm fishing all braided line.

I love my Penn Battles and my KK Penn 700 greenie, but the feel of this new one by 13 Creed X is got me wondering. Ain't used it yet so can't give a real opinion on it but just messing with it and my battles, it's smoother then them!!! Pompano Joe and Oceanmaster can fix up whatever you get so no worries, just go by feel since it's an extension of ya!!!

No doubt there....I have several 4K's and the new 13 Creed X I just bought is a 4K. I paired it with a 7 ft H20 Express rod w/ micro guides (150 in the whole set up). I haven't used it in the water yet, but threw it fer the 1st time this AM....oooohhhhhhh weeeee smooth and casts like a dream!!! We'll see how the drag holds up when I get on some fish but I think she'll be fine.
