Penn Spinfisher VI Long Cast Surf Fishing Review

[@MisterDoctorAustin]

I would have loved to see you cast it out there and bring in a fish with it so see how it casts/handles weight. Still, great review!

[@dk2428]

Just what i was looking for! Looking to replace my original Big Baitrunners which changed owner involuntarily...and tbh I'm having a hard time finding old school build quality. Seems like these PENN's are up to the job when it comes to durability. How would you rate the drag and smoothness? (having a hard time finding a shop which stocks them over here in the EU) New sub!

Thanks Paul! Rod holder is from Walmart

@modparents i was in my 2 walmarts looking fore any rod holders didn't see any

[@Bobby59]

Just curious how far you can sling it out there? I have a spinfisher 6500 but thinking of maybe getting this as well.

[@mackrobertson]

Depending on conditions and the rig I’m throwing combined with braid line test, well over 100yds 💪

@@mackrobertson I may look to get this with a 12’ Okuma rockaway

@@Bobby59 I just got a 12’ rockaway last year and absolutely love it. I can feel a kingfish sniff the bait lol jk. But it’s strong but a sensitive rod at the same time. I may run a DNA 9’ rod for surf casting with a penn long cast 5500

@@OutdoorsMd360 thanks! Will look into it

[@richardfriedman4872]

I have one. It does cast great, but the quality is poor. I always rinse off and dry my reels. After 1.5 years of use, the gears are grinding. It's a piece of garbage. Don't waste your money.

[@mackrobertson]

Couldn’t disagree more and I have a few of these reels. But maybe you have a defective unit. Have you contacted Penn? They would likely replace or send parts.
