I use my 550's on 3 different sticks one on Penn 11ft surf for Pompanos & Cobia up in the Gulf Coast Panhadle, One on my RedBone7'6' medium on the flats around Shell Key for Permint, BoneFish & Tarpoon & My RedBone 7'er heavy on the reefs & wrecks for Grouper, Snappers & Wreck Donkeys. This reel is one tough cookie, Taken every abuse I have thrown at them. Let's Go Get Some More!!!!

Rated 5 out of 5Â by CAPTAIN OF THE SALTY FLATS DELIGHT c.m. on the gulf coast in Taylor.
I have used a broad assortment of reels. From cheap to expensive and I can say that the 550 model is more than a match for saltwater species and the tremendous corrosion. I have landed with much ease a 5.5 foot blacktip the other day of the coast of Taylor. It looks the same today as it looked a year and a half ago when new. Kudos to Penn for finally making a more precise and smoother(than the old clunky spinfisher). Highly reccomended for price,weight and pure power.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by @JC@ One of my best reels
this reel is great, especially the 420 model with a ultra light rod. You can use it to turn small fish into brawny ones, thus increasing the fun. This reel also has a great drag and is very durable.

This Penn reel is made in China.Details:Â
I was wondering about how big this reel is? I am looking to use it for bass fishing, I usually use a real that is lower 8oz. would you say this reel is bigger than other reels? and what other reel would this reel compare to, as far as size? thank-you very muchAnswers

This reel is pretty heavy (as in weight) for bass fishing. What you are getting with that weight is saltwater durability.I would suggest an older version of the Shimano Stradic if you want serious value for your dollar. A 2500 should be fine for bass. The 2500 Saros is another great reel for the price.
The SSG is a pretty compact reel but it is not very smooth and you can find some great reels for similar money that have better attributes. Again, for freshwater reels there are a ton of good options, but if you are planning on using it for very light saltwater applications it should be fine.
I hope this helps

Im looking at the 430ssg, is it smooth enough that it is effortless? thank-youAnswers
A:Â
Definitely not! trust me the drag catches so bad and is to me one of the worst drags ever. Try quantum or shimano. There better

My initial answer is, no.Compared to my Shimano reels and Penn's Battle and Conquer reels this is not very smooth.
It is not rough or "gritty" but smooth is relative to what you are used to. I can give a hard crank to the handle of my Shimano Saros or Stradic and it spins "effortlessly" after my hand is off the handle.
The SSG will continue to spin after a few cranks, but it does wobble a bit.
I hope this helps

I have the 440 and assuming that each of these reels are the same- only scaled differently- the 430 should be very smooth. My 440 is VERY smooth for a saltwater marketed reel. Hope this helps1 of 1
