Penn Battle 3 DX! What's The Difference?

[@jeremiahkelly9997]

Have both reels and love em both, but the DX is definitely more aesthetically pleasing. Thanks for the review!

[@BeardedBrad92]

For sure!

[@jasonstokley7274]

In the smaller reels, the Dx is the way to go. In the larger reels, size 6000 and up, the only difference between them is the color. I own a Battle 3 size 8000. It has the brass gear, and the round eva power handle. I'm not sure if it has that bearing at the bottom of the spool though. I'm guessing it probably does, my reel has 30lbs of drag.

[@mhyatt82262]

Thanks Fishing with J! That’s all I needed to know. I have the 8000 and you just simplified this DX myth for me.

Already have a battle 3 10k and pursuit 4 8k , went in looking for a different rod and reel today and was either going to be a battle 3 dx 6k or a spinfisher vi 7500 and ended up going with the 7500 but never seen the dx model till now

[@Eyesofthasouth]

Nice… wish they’d do that with the spinfisher.

[@stevedupree525]

I noticed you were using one on the pier. What is that rod and reel combo?

[@JustinCaseJustin]

Hello sir A ball bearing can be ADD to the regular Battle 3 , at the spool shaft ? Please i need an answer .Thank you in advance !

[@tombattino3319]

Is the blue braid u got on there powerpro ? It looks good

[@chrisjones720]

Where can you find the DX version? Basspro? Academy?

[@BeardedBrad92]

They don’t carry them. You’ll have to go to a smaller dealer. Sam’s Bait and Tackle in Orange Beach has them

@@BeardedBrad92 I’m in FL, Just ordered the 3000 Version from Captain Harry’s Fishing Supply down in Miami. Quick question: How’s the knob handle? Does the rubber tear easily?

[@mustafaomar8010]

Are the rotor metal please do answer

[@GhettoFabulous670]

After using it for some time. How is the line lay with the both of them? If I recall. The spool on the original battle just sits on the shaft with some Teflon washer/shim. If you get spooled by a fish. I notice it wear the shim and ur line lay goes out the window. But im curious how the dx handles and if the line lay Is any better? Could you chime in on that? Thanks and love the vids!

Thanks! Will do!

Good information however the starting music sound like start of a horror movie.

[@colsoncustoms8994]

It’s sucks they dropped the spool bearing from the battle 2 on the battle 3, but offer it on the more expensive version.. plus they no longer have the aluminum rotor like on the battle 2. I just disassembled and greased my battle 3 3000 and honestly I’m not super impressed. It sounds / feels crunchy and isn’t nearly as smooth as my battle 2. I expected it to clear up after the break in period but it’s quite a bit worse.

[@wormway_69]

You forgot to mention the spring in the drag

[@MaddogFishing]

Nice reels for sure! Im going for Penns High speed models this year. Either the battle or Slammer.

[@webmoss]

Brass gear all the way! I had a Penn Fierce gear ⚙️ fail after a night of intense squid fishing.

[@rickbakker4094]

Where can I get one of those hats like your videos

[@BeardedBrad92]

They’re not for sale yet, but will be soon at Fishgum.com

[@alanaguilar5449]

Just bought the 3000 dx at ace hardware for 129. They have the 2500 3000 and 4000 for the same price . I hope it works good

[@gonzarb93]

Hello sr, iam in drone fishing, looking for more than 8000 capacity. I have an offer of a new spinfisher vi 9500 for 199usd and for the other hand a 160usd Penn battle 3 dx 8000. Wich would be a better reel? Thanks

[@andradebom9272]

Qual o modelo que cabe mas linha penn batle 3 6000? LE ? DX? HS ? Estou com essa dúvida pra comprar o meu irei usar na pescaria de isca artificial de costão

[@deproofgod4135]

Hey brother! I'm planing to get Battle 3 DX, but in my local shop they got only size 4000 up, but it too big for me (I want 3000 size). I wonder is 4000 size way bigger than 3000? or slightly bigger

[@crazedpaul9836]

How is it with braid and wind knots?

[@BeardedBrad92]

I’ve not had any issues yet

[@Pray.4]

Brad can you recommend a rod to go with the battle 3 DX? Fish for medium size Jacks and bonefish I’m planning on the 4000.Thank You Brother Awesome channel blessings

[@BeardedBrad92]

I recently got to use a Penn Battalion 7’ light and that rod is sweet!

[@ericglenn4644]

Great video

[@BeardedBrad92]

Thank you!

[@joepangit6938]

Dealer only version? I just got a 6000 DX for $119 out the door on AliExpress. I guess there are genuine Penn dealers in China, after all, that's where it is made.
