Default Re: Penn spinning reel suggestions

8500 is a big old school clunky reel IMHO..Beside Stripers, what other fish do you intend to target with it?

If it where me I'd probably be looking at some of their newer lighter weight reels like the Battle Series... Much lighter but they've got similar drag ratings and you could use for Fluke or jigging without tiring yourself out with a big heavy reel...
