Shimano Saragosa or Penn Slammer???

[tunajoe]

Both are good reels. BUT - be prepared to send your Penn every year or two. The GOSA won't need shit. They just keep working. Same manufactures - different reel....I have a 3 Penn International 50's and one Shimano TLD50. To this day, after 17 years I have NEVER had my Shimano in the shop for anything. The damn Penns, yep... they end up in the shop more often than not. Penn has had too many owners over the years and their quality control sucks.
