The nicest thing about the PENN's is that they rarely need care. I too have fished salmon and steelhead here for 30 years. I rinse my Penn's off with the hose and that's it. Oil them maybe once a year if that. They all still work fine. Right now I mooch with the Penn 9, if I remember right, the left handed version of the Penn 10. Has a fast retrieve and all around a very smooth reel.
