706z or 105
I have inherited a 706z bailess and a 105. Both generally in good condition, except the 105 housing is oxidizing, but I am resurfacing it. Main question...since I have discovered the potential of the state pier I am ditching surf fishing down Ft. Morgan for now(no sand fleas, too far, and doesn't seem to be the same action in the past). Between the 706z and 105, which would be the best for king/cobia? I am assuming the 706, but just want get some "expert" advice. I have 20lb mono on it right now, and want to pair it with a 7'-8' medium heavy action rod.
Thank for any feedback.

The 100 series was Penn's first cheep import reel and I think it was made by Ryobi. For a 29 to $39 reel it held up fair as long as it didn't get fished hard. I'm not saying it won't work,but don't be upset if it craps out on the first thing you hook.

^^^ was it the first reel they made out of US to?

The first reel Penn had made overseas was a solid black Spinfisher look-a-like and it was a great reel because it was a copy of a Spinfisher. What was the name of that reel #r?

John, I think the reels you're thinking of didn't have a name just numbers. The 747 and the 757. I am almost certain that they were made in Philly like the Spinfishers. They were made a grade below the SS with many 750 and 850 parts and some parts unique to them, such as the cast aluminum main gear as opposed to bronze in the SS reels.

Ya 747 and 757, same reel as the regular old spinfishers, exept w a black spool like on a black spool 706, 704, ext., I used to have a 747, but I blew the spool up on somthink big, never saw it but i think it was a big snapper :confused:
