Wow love the sound of your reel bro

[@SportFishingAsia]

Thank you bro. They are sweet reels.

[@BeastProductions.]

Hey bro I would recommend using the casting version of the spinfisher vi 4500 it holds alot of line for those big fish that pull drag.

[@SportFishingAsia]

Thanks. I never knew there’s a casting/overhead version of the spinfisher vi reels.

[@D800Lover]

What braid size did you use? I would think 20lb would be normal for that size reel, but I think you were using something heavier than that?

[@SportFishingAsia]

It’s 30 pounds Berkley Fireline braid on that reel.

[@D800Lover]

@@SportFishingAsia - Thanks, I thought it would be. I gather a really solid reel but also a bit heavier.

[@SportFishingAsia]

You’re welcome. You won’t feel the weight at this size, perhaps the larger models. Penn reels are often solidly built.

[@killstreakz7766]

Hey I just got a 10500 vi and I'm new to fishing do you think I could catch some bluefin? I have 80 lb braided line​@@SportFishingAsia

[@SportFishingAsia]

@@killstreakz7766 bluefin tuna? Smaller fish sure, not those monster ones. Good luck!

[@xaviahmad6368]

Would like to upgrade my penn persuit. Penn battle 3 or spinfisher better?. Any suggestion

[@SportFishingAsia]

We have been using both and like both reels. I think it’d be down to your budget to determine which to choose.

[@frankleon6708]

What was the power and rating of rod

[@SportFishingAsia]

Rod rated PE2-4 or roughly 30-50lb

[@brucepedersen4032]

What island are you near ? Timor

[@SportFishingAsia]

Hi, not sure which Timor you’re referring to, but this is off Kuala Rompin Malaysia.

[@bajadan6441]

Crackin !

[@SportFishingAsia]

Thanks

[@badrfalgi8469]

Can you give me the details of the rod, please

[@SportFishingAsia]

That’s a Rapala Cruz rod. They no longer make them.

[@badrfalgi8469]

@@SportFishingAsia I see, thanks for your response

[@badrfalgi8469]

If you have the experience, can you give me advice on choosing a rod for the penn spinfisher vi 5500, The price does not matter(casting)

[@SportFishingAsia]

@@badrfalgi8469 for that reel model I think rods in the 6’6” to 7’ length and around the 20-30lb or PE2-4 range will match well generally. It may also depend on the type of fishing you will most often use it for or where you’re shopping from. Shouldn’t go wrong with top range models from Penn, Shimano and Yamaga Blanks.

[@badrfalgi8469]

@@SportFishingAsia Thank you, you really helped me

[@mountainknife]

What rod and model?

[@SportFishingAsia]

That’s a Rapala Cruz popping rod

[@mountainknife]

@@SportFishingAsia thanks

[@Gio-nl7eg]

What lb braid is on the 4500?

[@SportFishingAsia]

That was 30lb Berkley Fireline braid

[@Gio-nl7eg]

@@SportFishingAsia wow so you practically landed that on only like 230 yards more or less

[@SportFishingAsia]

@@Gio-nl7eg can’t remember exactly how much line capacity is on the spool but yes, we have landed many sailfish with that setup. We can always go after the fish using the boat when needed.
