Current Bid: $1000 with about 4 days to go.
I want a 16/0 but being new do not know a good price on one. IS THIS A GOOD DEAL? I am sure the price will go up in the next few days but how high is too high. Please help. Thanks for your input.
2 and 1/2 days to go...Still $1000...still looking for input as to if this is a good deal. Also I was looking at a Penn 130VSX which also runs about $1000. Anybody comparison?
The 130vsx has A lever for drag so more strength and torce but less line.....In english its A good buy.But A 16/0 new is rare and if you like penn senators,thats A once in A life time buy.... 
Thanks timmyt
Gotta love them huge reels.........
There is a super old school 9/0 everol on ebay right now..........If you are going with a senator then go with a 16/0 in my opinion. I had 14/0s and a 16/0 and the 16/0 just seemed more balanced on a rod and I felt it was easier to handle than a 14/0. Plus the line capacity can be key to landing that once in a lifetime fish.
When they say senator, they mean "LINE CAPACITY".....
And thats tru about the 14/0....16/0 has A better balance.. 
only about $600 dollars more and you can get an 18/0
I sent you a PM.
