706z prices have certainly dropped since Penn began remaking and marketing this reel last year. Last week I won 2 Ebay auctions for a 706z. One is the new remake version for $174.00, shipped. The other one is the older version for $161.50, shipped. Both are “new in the box” reels. Not too long ago a “new in the box” 706z was selling for around $300.00 on Ebay. I don’t really need these reels since I have more than enough already, but at these prices it’s hard not to buy them. Perhaps I need to get help for my addiction
