Not a penn reel. Penn sold them the rights to use their name.

It's a piece of shit reel. It'll blow apart the first time you use it. Send it to me...I'll give you $20 for it.

I need a backup, 25 and that is my final offer.....

Those reels are a piece of crap. I bought a Roddy surf caster reel thinking it was made by Penn and it turned out to be a P.O.S. I'd stay away from them again if I had the opportunity to buy one. JMHO

Perfect reel to use as a bounce ball weight if it doesn't get caught in the rocks.

Roddy is made in China.

Penn is made in the USA. Go Figure

Penn was bought out by a Chinese company.

Then the Malaysians took over that company and sold it to a conglomerate in Nicaragua.... where they are now manufactured from recycled plastic Coke bottles...
