just bought my first new reel in years a penn sg4000 from outcast and it has a feature that i did not know about until i did the old tire kick. WOW i am super jazzed about this feature! has it just been too long since i bought a new reel? is this a recent development in reel technology? is this a standard? is it on your reel(s)? what do you think about INFINITE ANTI REVERSE (what a cool name too huh?)

Why do you think I replaced the Penn 4400's?

 

[iswim2fish]

right on pennfish so now im sellin my 4300 to buy an sg3000. just curious what are you replacing your 4400 with? the 4400 was more expensive and doesnt have this feature????? (or at least the old ones dont)

 

[Sea Monkey]

The OLE Confused.

Infinite anti-reverse? I think I get it now. So your saying that the spool on the reel doesn't go backwards at all once you stop reeling? Like my 8500ss that goes backwards a bit then clunk when it stops , allowing an inch or so of line to come off before it goes clunk. In other words no slack in the reel.

 

[iswim2fish]

exactly where you stop reeling is where that reel stops. its the shiz!

 

[PennFish]

SM you got it right no back slap of the reel.

I Swim I've replaced them with acouple QuantumCatalyst40's inshore a Shimano Shara 2500 Fd and going to pick upa couple of the Qunt---30 in the morning.The 2500 and the 30's will work on the boat and the yak.

right on pennfish ive heard very good things about quantum especially the cabo's. titanium bail spring. still wondering if this is like a standard feature on newer reels?

 

[PennFish]

Look at thedifference between the bearing's, finish,price of the Cat- Boca-Cabo's. You can get2 Cat's for about half the price; if one go's tit's up aftera few years you're still money a head. The old PTI's can't stand up to the salt without extra care,the inshoremodel does fine with aGOODwash down.

 

[iswim2fish]

right on thanx for the info pennfish

 

[PennFish]

Just a note, look at the model number; don't buy an "A" model of theCat for full price.You can find them around$65.

The older model Pennshad alever on the rear of the reel for the reverseon/off and that's what broke on most of my older Penns. Glad to see they don't have that lever on the rear any more.

 

[iswim2fish]

thats exactly what i thought mguns i never used the damn thing and its just one more thing to take a dump. oh and um the more i fondle my sg4000 the more im convinced my 430 sucks! why are the um uh (430 440045006500etc) series mor expensive than the sg series?:doh
