A 950SSm? Way better for poppering than the shim 6500, absolutely no comparisson. However, the 950 is a very large reel, the 850SSm is big enough...still, for the right price, hell, why not the larger?

The Penn Spinfishers, although not the flashest designs, are damn near bullet proof. The SSm series are also a considerable improvement over the older SS series reels, but still have that rather small spool, which is a bit of a bugger!

Anyhow, for poppering, go for the Penn, NOT the baitrunner!

Cheers, Stu.

I've got an older US made 8500 and one of the new 950ss. Both wickedly strong but I'd personally rather have the older 9500. ]]> Mon, 30 Apr 2007 19:32:28 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20427&PID=270491&title=penn-950ssm#270491 <![CDATA[penn 950ssm : they are a great all round work...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20427&PID=270485&title=penn-950ssm#270485 Author: LEVCAT

they are a great all round work house of a reel, basically indestructable.

good poppering reel, anything you want it to be.

i still prefer shimano though.
