U have too much time on ya hands to b weighing reels lol but thanks 20% across 3 reels adds up if ya walkin 1/2 mile round a lake hahaha

It wouldn't surprise me if shimano make there reels for less money then penn being such a large company they will make them in such bulk would b cheap as chips,but trust me once penn have made there mark in carp industry the price will rocket,they r just being smart with the 7000 as its a hard seen to break in too... So go in with a cheap good looking product and break through once there in price will,no questions asked fly up!

To get them to fold flat to pack away u have to undo pretty much the hole thread and the handles could have been done bit bigger but that's my opinion,yeah they can be changed seen a set with wooden shimano handles with the quick fold.

Using mine as I write this:
Bad bits: handles....that's it!
Good bits: super smooth
Perfect line lay
Quick drag is less than 1/4 turn
Strong construction

I got rid of my shimano long casts for them and I won't b swapping back that's for sure probly half the weight and still smashing it 150 yards with 15lb floro on!!
These are the cheapest reels I've brought ever and so far the best not sure how they will wear but time will tell.
