Ah not at all Chad you weren't knocking me mate I just took it as a bit of toungue in cheek ribbing as most fishos do to each other lol so all is good I don't go getting upset over a ford Vs holden type debate like I have seen some people do.
Believe it or not the only reason I managed to afford another penn spinfisher was the fact I found a clearance company selling the 850 on trade me for $90 so found it too hard to hit the back button and had full support of the wallet manager I have a mate that fishes with mitchell 488's which he got off of ebay on his two powersticks and has a penn 950 as his spare reel like me he just loves old school stuff.
