At $55.00 for the SV8000 I don't think this is being made to compete with VS

Allegedly a certain someone on this board might possiibly have heard about an unconfirmed Penn Project that was going to take the Z series reels, and amp them up into maybe a submersable workhorse in what might be the $200 range. It is possible that these alleged project reels were possibley tested overseas last year and the bugs just might have been being eliminated prior to any unconfirmed release. It is also possible that industry persons that might have been tipped off about this project were warned to keep any alleged information of this typed to themselves.

Patrick, are you saying that not everything on the internet is true? Gasp........all this time I thought the internet was the last bastion of truth.   |

I'm wondering if it's a rumor too. I haven't heard a peep from any reps, but then again I haven't talked to a Penn rep in a few months. If it was really happening I think they'd be making plenty of noise about it so people would hold off on buying a VS and maybe buy this alleged reel.

Somebody should come out with a high-end hand line set up.

My father already did come out with that Joe, many years ago. He got a patent on it as well, I'm surprised you didn't know. |
The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Talked with Penn today and the confirmed the 704 / 706 rumors.
They do not know what to call the reel yet. They are still working on the seals & instant anti-reverse.
They claim the reel " will be some what dunkable" they would not say sealed..
Would not give a price range. Looks to be about July before we hear any price and time frame on deliveries. |

I felt as if I have had it with Penn but if they take a simple 704/6 and put a better anti-reverse, I will be very happy. |

The three reasons why I dont use my 704 is because of the lack of an IAR, crappy roller bearing and bail spring failures.
A 704 with IAR, roller bearing that actually rolls and a bail that does not fail will be used very often....I am thinking of buying one of the new 7500 reels but with this news I will wait.
I hope the sale puke wasnt just boasting to keep us interested...
