I did a lot of internet research for the best salt water reel for 2021. Out of 5 fishing websites that extensively test, analyze, and rate slat water reels, this was consistently at the top. if it was not #1 as it was in 3 article, it was in the top 3..... This is out of 1o rated reels. Penn has always mad quality durable reels, and this one rate with ^600-$800 reels... Difference is that it weighs more than the more expensive reels.
The gear ratios are prefect, the materials are very durable, drag is what you want and more, and is is so smooth in it mechanics when reeling in fish. You want a high performing reel that will last a long time and meet your needs for large or small fish.... Look no further.

I bought two. It took a couple of returns to get two undamaged rods but overall I am pleased. The triangulator foregrip is comfortable. I paired them with Diawa BG60's and spooled with Powerpro 50# braid. They work great for jigging tuna and the gimbal butt is good for trolling stripers in the fall. For $40 you can't beat this rod!!

This is by far the best spinning reel by Penn . The Slammer doesn’t even compare. Caught several sails and mahi on the 5000 size and. Smoker Kings too . Smooth and quiet . Drag is Awsome . No need to give the Japanese your hard earned money for a Stella

Non mi è piaciuto perché appena pochi minuti usato è partita la frizione. E non ha più funzionato.

great quality. I use it for fishing
