Been debated lately whether they're better than Shimano or Daiwa. I can't comment on the comparison but I can tell you that for 100 quid the penns are the best value for money I could find at the time. Had mine 6-7 years now and they've not missed a beat.

I would buy a set quickly cos judging by the the price of the new carbon version Penn have probably decided that they've been under selling on price. That or it was a loss leader to gain market entry.
