Penn Magforce 970

Just acquired one of these reels for free. It seems to be in great shape. No cracks or serious pitting. Could use a good cleaning but as is, still has good free spool and the mag still works well. Just seeing if anyone has any opinion on this reel. Should I be able to fish it in the surf for bull reds? Using Berkeley pro spec 30lb mono.

Should be just fine.

they are kinda heavy but cast well and i think they only have jigmaster sized drag stack but thats plenty for reds in the surf. enjoy it. it was a pretty cool reel at the time.
