Hello Wolli!
Welcome to the site!
Nice that you could be here with us.
I have 2 Penn 9/0 that I bought last summer and summer before. So far I can't tell the difference in quality, even after a few sand baths. Penn supposedly has a rep on site in China to approve or disapprove batches.
Hopefully the quality will remain.
Just have to be sure they don't use lead paint.
