Spinning reel recommendation

Since the middle 1950s, I have fished the Penn SS reels. Today I saw a
new Penn SS4300G which is now made in China rather than Philadelphia. It
has an infinite anti -reverse feature which cannot be disengaged. This
eliminates those of us who like to back reel. A big pile of junk as far
as I am concerned. Any recommendations for my new drop shot rod, built
according to Steve's suggestion, will be greatly appreciated.

Another great American company sent out of the country. A crying shame.

I really like the Shimano Stradic 2500 reel. It does have an infinite
anti-reverse, but it can be switched off. If the price is beyond your
budget, take a look at the Shimano Sahara models as well. I use both
reels for my guide business and they hold up well and are smooth when in
operation.

Thanks. The St. Croix blank, 5S70MLF, worked out very nicely. I thank you
again for your recommendation. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
