I recently bought a Penn Spinfisher 3500 and a Shimano Stradic FJ 3000. The Shimano was smoother hands down and looks great. A friend gave me a Shimano Symetere, another smooth and nice reel but I like even numbers so I said let's buy one more setup and make it 4. Gave Quantum a shot with their new Energy reel, but the finish was nowhere near what you would expect for a $140+ reel, so I made the trip to Puglia's and bought another Shimano Stradic FJ on sale.
