They don't go for 200 bucks they go from 70-100 bucks i seen people using them if it was me i get a penn battle they are smooth and got ht-100 drag stack in them http://www.basspro.com/Penn-Battle-S...0209995/147035
I miss typed the price, it is original 119.99 with 50% off that. So 60 bucks plus Tax , and by reading the reviews I don't think its that bad of a deal.

ok
They are great reels. I own two of the 8000 models. They are heavy, but heavy duty. I just put in ht-100 drags and they are even better.
I picked up a Penn Battle 8000 a few months ago, love it, and have to agree with Wilson. I am surprised how few are out there because the drag is as good as they come. It has become my main Cobe reel.
Best way to describe a Sargus is it is more of a reel you use to horse in a fish. A lot of the other reels require some finessing. Good investment if you don't like playing around with your fish. Decent cranking power.
Was too much torque for me--I love finessing a fish a little more. GREAT reel for the $$$ though--no complaints here.
I've used a 4000 for spanish and slot reds for the past 4 years. Although a bit heavy and short on frills. It is a good reel. No complaints. Check your prices online before jumping.

HOW MUCH BETTER ARE THESE THAN THE OLDER PENNS LIKE THE 6500!ALWAYS WORE OUT DRAG WASHERS ON THESE BUT VERY DURABLE!
Got a 8000 on a jiggin rod for Fathers day, it'll be tested soon. I'll let y'all know if it can take some work load!
