Default Tuna reel.
What is your guys opinion on the penn 16vsx VS. shimano talica 25 specs are similar. Does anyone have any experience with these reels? What one would you chose and why?

How do you intend to use it? Jigging, bait fishing, both, private or party boat etc.....

I know a lot of offshore guys have been transitioning from large, heavy tiagras to lighter, equally as powerful talicas. They're truly incredible reels and we'll worth the investment. My father is slowly transitioning his tiagra 30s and Penn 30s to talicas. Pretty sure he's keeping the 50s and 80s though.
