Bait Boy...
I'm new to the forum...have run charters on the Chesapeake Bay (MD) since 1981 and there are MANY 330's and 345's in service here.
Do you know that the 330GT"2" and all of the new 330's and below are now made in China? Also, Penn, as well as Shakespeare AND Pure Fishing (aka. Berkley), are now owned by Jarden Corp.

Also, the 340's and 345's are still made in Philly (as per my last conversation with the Penn rep).
Tight lines...
