Got an 8500 for a steal. I know alot of people are down on these reels because they didn't have the penn quality when they first came out, but I have one and my uncle who surf fishes atleast once or twice a week does too. He got it from me for christmas 2 years back and it's still going strong. Well that's my two cents worth and my only problem is my wife doesn't know I bought it. Had it shipped to my neighbors. That's what she gets for buying all those laundenberger backets.
sadly, I also bid on a nice sealine X surf rod and got outbid with less than a minute left. I was high bidder for close to a day.
