Baitcasters for Surf Fishing - 15 Jan, 2020

HI, all.  Recently caught the surf fishing bug and went to Larry Finch's seminar in Daytona.  I totally forgot to look or ask him what type of baitcaster he uses or recommends. He said he is a die hard Penn guy.  I also don't recall if he uses magnets or not any suggestions on here would be much appreciated
