I bought this for saltwater fishing in the backwater and a little surfcasting. It's great for both and I've caught some really nice fish on it but I'm gonna have to get a bigger boat so I can go out where the big ones are. This will handle 'em.

Awesome reel for surf fishing larger bull redfish, large flounder, even the occasional cobia off the beach.

Great durable reel

Great reel for the bay. I use it more that the penn battle series.

Bought Penn US113N for use on my boat locally (Puget Sound) and for my travel arsenal. For travel I matched it up with a two piece Ugly Stik (BWC2201270). First trip with it was to Sea of Cortez where we had it loaded with 250 yards of 40 lb Ande Pink. We used this outfit as our ballyhoo casting rig when sailfish got into the trolling spread. It performed well and we landed (and released) three sailfish with this outfit. Was very effective for the 80 to 100 lb sailfish we landed. For larger fish braid backing will be required to increase the spool capacity as 250 yards seemed to be lower limit of line needed for the quarry we we hunting. Overall great reel and I am expecting to keep it in the arsenal for a long time.

Amazing piece of kit
