Awesome video. I love my Penn reels and I totally agree with you on everything you said. I use the pursuit III’s a lot. The first one I bought was because of one of your videos a while back. I’m glad I watched it because that’s my go to combo now. It’s pretty hard to beat for like $70.

[@SlotCityFishing]

Marcus Vogel that’s awesome bro! Glad we could help.

[@christophergehrke5413]

Can you take a shielded bearing out and replace it with a sealed bearing? Is that possible

[@user-tz5ms8ke1w]

*Bought a 500 for an ultralight rod. It's very smooth **enjoyable.fishing** recommend casts great. One odd thing- the bale wire is a bit heavy diameter in my opinion for a reel of this size. But a great purchase.*

[@SlotCityFishing]

Good tip!

[@figueroa2191]

Awesome videos. Got into kayak fishing a few months ago. But all freshwater in Massachusetts. Going out to the family home in Fl this week so decided to check some reviews for salt water poles. Your channel is awesome

[@SlotCityFishing]

Thanks dude check out our new stuff I think you’ll like it man. You still fishing?

[@lilymalacon944]

Took my brand new Battle II 5000 for a spin yesterday for the very first time and I hooked a 20lb yellowtail using a Ugly Stik X2 (medium hard) rod kzbin.infoUgkxM68VkfsQhHaabDce1IwOCXuvumcpbZ_k . This combo was recommended on some website and it did not disappoint me. The reel is smooth, the drag click is pretty cool cause i think it adds to the excitement of fighting the fish, personally the drag is my favorite part. I use braid and 300 yards will fill the entire spool. This combo is my main setup from now on although I have to disclose I am new to fishing.

[@SlotCityFishing]

Agreed

[@mackredsnapper]

I was considering Penn a few years ago and this video will make me consider one again. Thanks for the good honest advice

Great review. My Penn Fierce II 3000 was my first saltwater reel. I bought it about 3 years ago. It has served me well fishing from the beach/surf and from the pier. I bought a Pursuit III 2500 a year or so ago, and I really, really like it. I have used it fishing surf and from the pier also. I like it so much I recently ordered a Penn Pursuit III 4000 size. I love the Pursuit. I did get a great deal on a Battle III 5000 reel recently. I paired it with a 9' Penn Prevail II surf rod.

[@SlotCityFishing]

keep getting hits to this channel so i'm all in now, subscribed. Always been a penn guy, i run the conflict 2 in all series and absolutely love them. Looking forward to the spinfisher if i can find a 5. Great video, looking forward to the channel.

[@SlotCityFishing]

Thanks Joe what reels do you have?

[@masterr8r]

The master says well done, Jesse. Couple of things... 1. I actually pulled a Fierce 2 off the bottom of the intracoastal and fished it for 2 years without doing a thing to it. 2. Then when it stared locking up I pulled parts off an old Pursuit 2 I had sitting around. Got another 2 years out of it. Everything you were saying about these reels being interchangeable is spot on. Tight lines.

[@SlotCityFishing]

Yep they are the same reels

[@stepheno.2730]

Jesse, I’m right there with you on 99% of this. Particularly concerning the Spinfisher V to VI and the Pursuit 3 series. Imo there is no better, bang for buck reel, and if we’re really honest with ourselves, the Pursuit 3 series could easily meet the needs of 99 percent of the fisherman out there (myself included). However, it’s also fun to ball out and treat yourself every now and then. Personally, my favorite Penn spinning reels have to be my Spinfisher V 6500ll reels for all around value with the bad to the bone factor. Usually, I prefer them over my slammer 7500 SLA reels unless I’m targeting serious fish at the coast or chasing trophy size catfish (> 50lbs) and need a winch. Great info brotha and I appreciate how you keep it real.

[@SlotCityFishing]

What reels are you using now? I have 4 6500 live liner spinfishers now

[@hookingjuzza]

how much the bonito's weight? I have fished 10 lb bonitos and i need to know if the reel is strong enought

Yea for sure there’s a guy in Hawaii that catches tuna with them. They are solid reels

[@caesarho3911]

Thanks for the info. Ever since watching this video I’m planning to modify my Penn fierce 3 6000 with a Penn battle 2 metal rotor. Not that it’s necessary and I’ve never heard of Penn fierce’s graphite rotor failed before. It’s just a small modification I’m planning to try out on my reel.

[@SlotCityFishing]

I have 3 fierce IIs I did that too I also don’t think it’s necessary I did it when I first got big into surf fishing.

[@caesarho3911]

@@SlotCityFishing awesome! I’m from Hawaii and I do a lot of shoreline fishing here. I just completed the the upgrade. At first the top threading of the pinion gear wasn’t able to fit through the battle 2’s rotor cup hole so I had to slightly file the hole a little and it fits perfect after that. My Penn fierce 3 reel feels a lot more rigid now 👍🏼

[@SlotCityFishing]

@@caesarho3911 nice dude glad it worked for you!

[@HaemonAK]

Great information. I was in a remote town here in Alaska and had an old cheapo reel die on me. So I picked up the Fierce III in a 5000 size and used it on a cheap rod, expecting to replace the rod. Catching Alaskan Salmon, Rock Fish and possibly some halibut. Any recommendations on what to look around for in a rod?

[@SlotCityFishing]

glad it worked out for you. im not familiar with fishing in alaska at all so dont really wanna recommend you something for that because i have no experience with it. thanks for watching our videos tho and i hope you are a subscriber to the channel with notifications turned on we just did a review of the battle III with a giveaway for it.

First time finding your site, enjoyed & subscribed. I'm a diehard PENN fan. Have retired a pair off 555GS's, a GTi 320 for bottom fishing, & a pair of 7500ss's. For lighter duty, still using an original Pursuit 5000, an original Fierce 6000, and two Fierce III, 4000 & 5000, Also retired the Sargus 6000 on a Slammer when I just learned about it's history. I've kept my reels mint after hundreds of hours on the ocean. Just purchased 2 Squall 30LD full anodized brass bodies and hardware. I do like them very much - but I was a little disappointed when I saw the 'made in China' sticky under the reel seat. I wonder, does PENN supply the parts to China, and they assemble them, then ship them back?

[@SlotCityFishing]

[@dimesciple1652]

Great video and I appreciate the effort and information, never mind you ACTUALLY USED the reels!! Penn Battle II 4000 main gears are cheap cast zinc into a brass pinion gear. I have had 2 main gear failures on 2 separate Battle II and there are no upgraded options for it. Sad that they went cheap on the gear, the rest of the reel is a freekin winch, and built like a tank. The Penn Spinfisher is a keeper... unfortunately most Penn reels aren’t made like our fathers were, like most things.

[@SlotCityFishing]

Yea I hate reviews where they don’t use the stuff

[@timolean5846]

Yeah this channel guided me into getting the Spinnfisher there wasn’t any 5’s available so I ended up getting the 4500 VI. I really like it haven’t had any issues, but I don’t fish much more than 15-20 a year so the slammer drag probably won’t make too much of a difference. I always clean my reels when I’m done fishing with fresh water. I’ve had a Shimano 4000 OC Baitrunner I picked up for $100 and it’s been a saltwater work horse for me still works great.

[@TheMTZ239]

Got my first penn in 2011 and till this day it’s still pulling in monsters and working like a champ💪🏽

[@caesarho3911]

Same for me. I bought my first Penn fierce 7000 (the first generation) back in 2012 for surf fishing in Hawaii which we called dunking. Caught a lot of shallow water snappers and bonefish with it. It’s still going strong till this day and only recently the reel got it’s first service.

[@iangarbe]

I agree that for the average guy, that new pursuit will probably do everything they need, and probably for a few years if well taken care of. And I'd also pass on everything else up the line till you get to the spinfisher. I have 2 SSVs. The only SSVI I'd buy right now that's an improvement over the SSV is the liveliner model. Buch better design than the SSVLL. The slammer 3 is nice. I have 2. But aside from it being slightly smoother than my SSV I really don't notice a difference. I only use it because if you're fishing a popular place and need to get into a line, guys only know you by your gear, and are more likely to accept you if you got a nicer reel..

[@SlotCityFishing]

I disagree completely

Hey. I have a Fierce 3 4000 and if I fill it up with line I get knots when casting. Line lay is terrible. Solution was not to fill it up all the way. Maybe half 120-135 or 150 meters of line and not so heavy maybe 0.15-0.18 mm braid. How is yours? Do you have any issues?

[@SlotCityFishing]

Bakr Monir already did bro look on the channel

[@christopherwood2290]

I am looking for a reel to catch schoolie stripers up to ten pounds and also bluefish in the brackish rivers near me. Rods from 6'6" to 7' medium heavy rods. I don't want to make a mistake and buy a reels that aren't suited for this. Mostly fishing with lead head jigs and trailers. Almost freshwater style lures.

[@SlotCityFishing]

Are you fishing in the water wading? What did you end up getting?

[@heribewox7302]

Nice review brother.... But i still choose spinfisher v so far.. Success for your chanel👍

[@SlotCityFishing]

Heri Bewox thanks bro spinfisher v is my favorite too.

[@heribewox7302]

@@SlotCityFishing yess brother... Like a monster beast in a sea... Reel penn good qualiity

[@boldcityfishing9265]

I have 2 penn conflicts, and a slammer 3, my slammer is way too heavy. Do you think the Shimano nasci is any good?

[@SlotCityFishing]

yea those reels are awesome my brother has a few of them.

[@howardshaw3163]

is the firece 3 liveliner in 4000 size good for atlantic stripers? or should i go to the 6000?

[@SlotCityFishing]

Not much different either one if you max the drag your gonna lose the fish or snap your line

[@boldcityfishing9265]

I just found my new favorite reel...... the Shimano ultegra, it’s 150 bucks but lemme tell ya it is amazing, I have fell in saltwater from my kayak and it was under salt water 5 minutes and works like new, it gets dunked and splashed with saltwater every time I fish and is still like brand NEW! I have never serviced it or greased it just a rinse after every use and some lubricant. GO GET ONE!!

[@SlotCityFishing]

I’ll have to try one man. How’s your channel coming along

[@bookooc5605]

Dude, one of the best reviews I've seen. Much better than the phoney sponsered pretty boy videos. I am coming down to Amelia Island in 3 weeks, and I was trying to get a couple surf rod and reels, that will only be used a few times a year since I am in Atlanta. The Pursuit sounds like the ticket. I was looking at the Battle or the Fierce, but thanks to your video I will go the other way. Any suggestions for rods to go with it? 10 or 12 ft. I am assuming they make the Pursuit in the larger sizes. Liked and subscribed!

[@shakeme3290]

Yep, Penn makes a 5000, 6000 and 8000 pursuit iii. I’m using two 6000 and a 5000 and love them. BERRYPRO sells some pretty nice rods on Amazon for around 50-60 bucks. I use their 9.6’ stripper and the 11’ monster surf. Not as nice as St Croix rods but 1/4 of the price and the fish don’t know the difference

Pursuit 3 it is for me I was on the fence with the fierce 3

[@SlotCityFishing]

Pursuit is a great reel

[@TylerSherlin]

Bought a Fierce III as my first saltwater reel and absolutely love it. After learning more about the different models they offer, I agree that I would have been just as happy with the pursuit for less money. Gonna grab a Pursuit for my second reel. Great video! Subscribed.

[@SlotCityFishing]

Awesome thanks there’s a lot of cool new stuff on the channel check it out

[@wildtimez6445]

Saw slawr nevermind . Lookomg for 8000 or bigger. Offshore runa shark etc. You think diawa bg or stick with penn the battle 3

And forgot to say, "God Bless You For Your Service" from an old Navy Vet stationed on a sub-tender in Rota, Spain.

Love Rota. I was a p3 aircrewman and now p8 pilot. I’ve been there a lot

[@David-fu2bp]

Diferenced betwen spinfisher v and spinfisher vi? Thanks

[@SlotCityFishing]

I made a video about it. Check it out.

[@grantbling748]

Is the penn 8000 combo strong enough for large tarpon fishing?

[@SlotCityFishing]

Ex Bucket oh yea. I will say tho that the 8000 is a very large reel when I tarpon fish I use a 5000 slammer III it’s more compact and more drag

[@Aieaboy]

What are your thoughts about the pursuit II reels by Penn

[@SlotCityFishing]

Get the pursuit III its much better.

[@Xueqs]

how do you treat the reel post salt? do you disassemble it completely after every salt fishing venture?

[@SlotCityFishing]

I never rinse or clean my reels except maybe once a year that’s why I buy the most salt water resistant ones I can afford. Thanks hope this helps and hope you susbscribed

[@2302rcks]

Thinking of getting the live liner 4000. What ya think yall

[@SlotCityFishing]

It’s great i have one

[@christopherrobinson9690]

I am sold! I hooked into a cow nose ray on the eastward shore area and the strength this reel showed it ass and some ass it got! I got my penn3

[@SlotCityFishing]

Awesome bro hope you subscribed

[@theloosemoose8200]

Not having a metal body is a huge negative, I purchased the pursuit 3 and 2 days later a 37in snook pulled so hard it bent the shaft (cracked the graphite) and snapped the rotor right off.... Remember, all the force from the fish goes right to the rotor ... I liked the reel for the few days it lasted though

[@SlotCityFishing]

If you had less drag that wouldn’t have happened

[@theloosemoose8200]

@@SlotCityFishing unfortunately you can't use less drag when structure fishing for snook, those fish bite and then bolt for the nearest piece of structure to break you off ! You need to stop snook dead in their tracks otherwise you've lost them... Like I said, I liked the reel for the day I had it but it's not a reel that can handle snook or redfish structure fishing, get something solid like the Penn fierce

[@shawnperico7221]

Hands down the spinfisher V is the best reel in the vid...solid for years in the salt

[@SlotCityFishing]

Def still have the same ones
