Looks great and works well. I purchased a MEDIUM for a Battle 2 2500. You definitely need to size up one from the spreadsheet’s recommendation. With the next size up I can just loosen the handle then fold it rather than remove it entirely. I’ll be getting a large for my 5000.

Bought this reel for a bottom set up for fluke tog and seabass and stripers and blues. i got the reel and it didnt reel right and was grinding and binding up i sent it back and exchanged it for a fathom star drag 8xnld. The fathom will hold 250 yards of 30lb braid makes 30lbs of drag is all metal and its only a third the size of the senator.

Recieved my Penn reel before expected date in the mail. This is my third Penn Reel and you cannot go wrong with the price as well as the construction of the reel. These reel are built solid and perform very well with the larger fish.

Purchased the 7ft heavy model-live baiting for yellowfin.Rod is well made but soooo heavy it renders it useless.Felt I was casting a piece of rebar. To give Penn credit, their Ally conv boat rods are fine. Have no idea what Penn did here but the rod is garbage. DO NOT BUY

Very satisfied

Smooth drive and very well built. Waiting to get out on the water. Using 80lb braid. Casting and reeling in, very smooth.
