It's good to see another forum member with similar addictions .
I have been eyeing for a reel in the 50-60 lb range and Avet seems to be good, but I have not been able to pull a trigger on one yet as there seem to be unlimited choices between $300-600. Then there are these single vs 2-speed reels in the mix.

Are all the Penn's made in China now?

Currently have a Shimano Torium with 30 line. Want to use this for local rock and yellows.

Next set will be this 50-60 range rod and reel. Any suggestion? Will want to fish in the Mexico water after a few local trips for yellow/tuna.

I heard 50 lb is not necessary for local yellow/tuna. Is that right?
