If I'm not mooching and using my Winona,I like a good ol' Penn 109. I like the fact I can use the reel without using the drag,I prefer to use my thumb as the drag. In the rivers I like my Abu 5500C-3.

You probably already know that John's sporting goods in Everett is an authorized Penn repair shop. I think he charges like $15 plus parts. I've got a couple old Penns I need to take to him for some work.
