Penn Rival Longcast

Jaysus its quiet in here.

So, here is the low donw on the rival if you havnt pulled the trigger yet or for anyone else thinking about it.

Basically the Rival is a surfblaster 2

The surfblaster 2's have been upgraded heavily to the 3's, and the battles HT-100 gearing system has been added which has moved the SB into a higher price point (€150-160 range) In order to fill the gap at the €99-105 range the Rival was introduced last season.

They are a fine reel, nothing wrong with them at all, penn make quality, tough gear, but........... if your going to spend €105 spend the extra €50 and get the Surfblaster 3 - workhorse of a reel.

Regarding the size, you need to go 7 or 8k on the rival, 6 is too small for the 14ft, in my opinion anyway.

If you want any more advice on what to get give me a pm.

Ha, thats hilarious.

Enjoy and thanks a mill 😊
