Pfleuger Supreme drag knob needed replacement after 4 or 5 months of use

[MuskieBait]

Not sure what is going on with Pflueger's quality lately...my Medalist reel shows corrosion on the bail arm after my Belize trip...and that's already after rinsing down the reel with freshwater after use. There is also corrosion on the drag knob's metal decoration (not a major issue...just annoying).

My older Solara had been so solid...and the Trion, for the price, had been solid as well.

I read Penn Battle is pretty decent. Friend of mine had been using one (I think 6000 size) as his bat ray reel lately. He's real impressed with it...but only time will tell.
