Am I right in thinking that a Penn 450 SG does not have any up sweep like Shamano's ??

don't know about the 450sg but the 450ss and the 4500ss do not have any upsweep. neither does the 4400ss.
the 420ss, 4200ss, 430ss, and the 4300ss all have an upsweep of approximately 4 degrees (give or take a degree).
