Penn v diawa
I’m in the market for a few new reels... I have need at least three so I don’t want to spend a fortune and based on reviews and what I’ve seen on the boats the penn battle 2 and the diawa BG are on the menu... I want thoughts and reviews from the board on their opinions. Both are rated great and very affordable but which one and why...
just to clarify I fish for everything you can catch on a party boat and big as mich as I can. So from fluke to tog to sea bass, blues and stripers Thanks

Re: Penn v diawa
Penn battles are a great reel at a moderate price .
I use a 3500 to catch everything you have listed . .

Re: Penn v diawa
Daiwa BGs get my vote. I have several of the latest ones and love them. I also have several BGs that I bought back in the mid & late 1980’s that I love. Have them serviced (lubed & new drag washers) at least every other year (depending on how hard I fished them)

Re: Penn v diawa
Check out the new conflict from Penn. The battles are heavy as hell. Spend a bit more and theyll last.
If going daiwa go ballistic. Way up from the BG. Lighter too.
