  • Smooth reel, satisfying drag, quality build.
Size: 3500 Style: Spinfisher Vi
Feels like a Penn Slammer at a better price point. I have 3 of these from 3500-6500 in both the liveliner and standard configuration. They all function great so far. I hadn’t bought Penn products in years because it felt like most of there products didn’t meet the quality standard that Penn was known for in the past. These justify the gold bling and higher price tag over something like a kastking or piscifun with a better feeling product. Only time will tell if they hold up to the saltwater like the old Penn reels did. Would have had 4 of these, but I had to return one I bought used from Amazon warehouse because it came without the bearing cap opposite the handle. Would still buy again, and plan to buy another one to replace the one I had to return. ... show more

  • Big reel for big fish
Size: 9500 Style: Spinfisher Vi
I go out a couple times a year on long range trips for large tuna (60lb-200lb+). Normally an assortment of casting reels is the order of the day and serves well. Last trip one of the fellow anglers was fly lining (gently casting a live sardine and leaving the bail open and letting it run) with a spinning reel. He was out casting everyone and getting his sardine out farther away from the boat than the majority of fellow fisherman and getting hit more often. Decided to try out a spinning reel. My past experience with spinning reels was for bass and trout fishing. Fish under 5 lbs and 8 lb monofilament. First I had to find a spinning reel up to the task of handling 100+ pound tuna. Penn's SpinFisher was a great find. Well made reel with the ability to change reel handles to either side (I cast with my left hand and reel with my right hand). Spool accommodated over 400 ft of 100lb spectra to which I attached a 130 lb leader. Great price point made greater by the sale I was fortunate to catch. Only minor area to improve is that you have to manually close the bail, it does not close upon turing the handle after casing. I can't commend on casting as I improperly matched too small a rod (only 7 ft and rated 40-80 lb). Because of the weight of the reel it was difficult cast properly a such a small rod. Overall very pleased and would recommend this reel but only with a longer and beefier rod. ... show more

  • Very pleased.
Size: 6500 Style: Spinfisher Vi
I got this when it was discounted at 30-something percent. Can't beat that for the 6500 series, which is lightweight, strong bail system that wont shut when casting or spin, has great lb per drag, and is full CNC closed system. Only thong that sucked was the weight time as the product shipped from China. Not a big issue for me as a 30 plus % discount made the wait worth it. No one around the states seemed to have the 6500 in stock. ... show more

Behaves well. The only problem is that it is big and heavy. Not recommended for surf fishing as my arm tired easily

This is a brute of a reel. Smooth and very tough. Caught a 9’ gator with it. Bought two. Good drag doesn’t give way.
