Spinfisher VI pre review update...First problem took me buy surprise. Still the best reel for the $

[@TheTrudgingTech]

if a reel doesn't make a little noise, you don't use it enough!

[@brycephelps2189]

Only youtube fishing channel I trust when it comes to gear review and tactics!!!

[@Kaptainrdean]

He's not afraid to say everything that's bad either.

[@thelabcoat9981]

Only reviews I’ve seen that aren’t bs and you actually know the reels inside and out!

[@laststoptohell5183]

Just put mine at 50° C in the oven for 30 min to soften the ball bearing grease, after that I just reel it for around 10 min, now everything runs smooth as you want. Just an idea for anybody who does not want to open the reel. Appreciate to have you on YT, thanks for your decent work. Greetings from Norway.

[@bart-b9497]

I remenbered this one comment and tried it out. I did it with a brandnew Spinfisher VI 2500, because it wasn´t as smooth as I wanted it to be. And it really helped! Thanks and greetings from Germany

[@JoeyB7615]

Really dig the style of your channel no BS just real world truth and sarcasm ..this industry needs more guys like you

[@patrickpalepoi9088]

Never a bad video man! I enjoy how thorough and how in depth you get. No B.S with your videos!

[@nebrellum6006]

Omg!! Again wonderful review and I’m excited that I follow both you and Josh. That PURPLE!!

[@john.j16]

Thanks for the review very informative. Glad I found your Chanel, I’ve been looking through your videos for the past week and learned a lot.

[@odysseasgalis]

Thanks for the review! Very educative videos and thanks to you, i can keep my reels longer!

[@jondavis4114]

Bought the diawa fuego after watching your video!! No complaints!! Very informative videos gave me the idea to open up my spinning reels to see which one was a complete Turd!!!

[@jondavis4114]

Turns out I’ve been buy crap for ages thanks for opening my eyes!!!

[@newjerseyanglin5757]

You probably don’t remember me but I DMed you regarding freshwater baitcasters for beginners. Thank you for the help, my Daiwa Tatula is still going strong. Now I’m watching your videos for saltwater advice as well. Time to get some interflon. If TackleAdvisors uses it, you should be too! :)

[@TackleAdvisors]

Hey brotha! Awesome! FYI about that oil... I'm not recommending it just yet... Too early to tell honestly if it is good or bad. So far it works like I've hoped. Thanks man!

[@teamflanneloutdoors5631]

Good to hear, Tatula is on my wish list at well👍 Which model did you get? Watching this channel cost me money😜

[@ognjenradivojevic4802]

Nice review! Love your channel because you are always honest to your viewers!

[@rontruocchio5744]

best videos on utube. i think taking a reel apart and explaining the thinking that went into it while spreading it's components on a table is the most complete and honest review offered.

[@bigpapamoose]

Great channel! I really enjoy the reviews and how you present them. Thank you

[@VMykeV]

Convinced me for me first penn purchase. Thank you for your hard work with these highly detailed reviews.

[@TackleAdvisors]

Glad you enjoy them....penn kinda made me a believer with this reel too....I was very skeptical myself. If you buy via the amazon links or j and h links I get a 5% cut.... :)

[@oldpop788]

Glad to see honest reviewer. I'm seriously considering getting one.

[@TackleAdvisors]

I hate shills!!! Prior to youtube I spent quite a bit of time exposing them on forums :) I think this is a winner!

[@oldpop788]

Tackle Advisors I enjoy and respect your opinion. It's helped me steer clear of potential poor buying decisions. Keep it up.

[@vinword1]

Thanks for always giving us your honest opinions on every product you review 👌🏽 keep the videos coming

[@9788herb]

Great reviews your one of the only guys I trust on fishing tackle reviews!

[@TackleAdvisors]

Thanks William! Appreciate it!

[@fishin2themax245]

Fascinating to watch how at ease you are doing this

[@jadeolin8514]

Great review, always love how in depth and concise your vids are 😃

[@bassbusters4566]

Thanks for your time and effort love your videos I've learned so much and stole some hacks from ya lol... love seeing your channel grow keep it up you definitely deserve the support

[@forty-glocc]

Love my spinfisher VI.. I've been using spinfishers since 3rd gen. Ive had the 3rd 4th 5th and now 6 gen. I gotta say price wise the 4500 VI is about a 100$ cheaper then when the V was the newest one out. I remember paying around 270 for my SSV4500LL.. Now on Amazon for a SSVI4500BLS 129$. What I did with my SSV4500BLS is got the whole Slammer 3 4500 handle setup and thru it on the SSVI4500BLS and it looks so much nicer. I get tons of compliments. I know Bailless is usually for surf fishing but I've been using it off a dock because I bought it 2nd hand brand new in the box for 50$ so couldn't turn it down.

[@morganahmed6245]

So u mean that u can change the whole hadle of the spinfisher VI to slammer iii ??

[@sidneysmith1970]

This is the best tackle and gear channel on youtube!!!!!!!

[@TackleAdvisors]

Thanks Sidney

[@ena-heraki-minio]

This channel is pure gold (pun intended). Greetings from Greece.

[@1FishinAddict]

Previous ssv had the exact same issue with that bearing. The new o-ring might’ve help a bit but it’s inevitable water will get in.

[@TackleAdvisors]

Yup it needs a true physical seal not something that relies on surface tension

[@macsadventures377]

Awesome video! Always top notch info

[@Mali-zw9ws]

As the winner is randomly picked ill just say good luck to everyone and that your giving the reel away is so cool

[@beejaybabadilla4324]

Thanks for all your hard work.

[@americanpatriot661]

My Penn slammer 4500 is doing the same thing. It was baptized in the surf and 2 days later sounded exactly like that. I was gonna replace the bearings but after watching the vid I'll clean and regrease the bering instead. Thx

[@ej82m]

Thanks for the great review. Very much considering it.

[@JS-qb9eh]

Your videos are more educational than college

[@dogshome7110]

I just bought a spinfisher on the back of your excellent reviews. I would have packed that bearing with red or blue grease though! The red stuff I use on bikes, motorbikes and cars is Silkolene RG2. It is very slippery and does not want to wash off.

[@sharksbob6360]

thanks for all of the info that you provide

[@joelcrawford3095]

thanks for all the work you do ive learned a lot

[@jacobthao9361]

Always been a baitcaster guy, but now you have me interested.

[@raulsouth1]

Great review had a few of the original v and they are going on 4 years with almost no cleanings and still going strong

[@jayyy3507]

Hi if you had to pick one btw Shimano Socorro vs Spinfisher VI for surf fishing which one would you pick? and why?

[@atombomb8830]

Lock down drag and reel it under hot water in the sink. Usually works for me. Loosens up the salt..

[@joeparent5777]

Hands down best reviewer ever....love this channel!

[@loader980]

Lube makes all the difference nice job!

[@georgebarcenas1]

Hello from 2019 (almost 2020) the price is still 160 😂

[@saltylawaia8958]

Penns are stepping there game up! Up till this year nothing was able to replace my spheros and Saragosa. Still the beasts in my arsenal and very hard to replace.

[@victorsimonsen921]

great update as always .

[@gabrielduarte3904]

if this is the best reel south of the saragosa, then were does the slammer 3 sits? is it better, equal, o inferior in some way to the saragosa

[@salmanpadia5162]

Also interested to know his thoughts on this

[@robsoutdoors1766]

This will definitely be my next buy just bought the BG 4500 5000 and 6000 now to get my next custom rods on the way to try out the SF6 have been taking alot ot for advice on reviews and everything thanks for what you do

[@gbglass89]

Love your reviews keep them comming :)

[@MrShawnmg]

As usual, great unbiased info

[@WhatsCrackin904]

I truly enjoy your content!!!

[@AdrianKoterla]

Hi. I have a question for you. I bought the PENN spinfisher V 3500 reel and after pulling out of the box it goes quite hard and from what I saw in the other reviews it is much smoother. So is it normal that sometimes it goes harder and then it gets better or should i send it away for warranty Best regards :)

[@sayfesoof6155]

woo having a hard time choosing a reel for slow jigging. Im really happy that i found your channel. Good luck everyone for the giveaway.

[@singaporehikers]

Is the Spinfisher vi an upgrade to v? The v have the slammer drag and is sealed too

[@smoovefishing]

Great video as always

[@gricko1213]

Great info as always. That will be my next reel to purchase to replace my penn battle1.

[@dontan9051]

I Can't deny the quality and reliability of Japanese reels, just like thier cars..

[@vanstaal6598]

Hey my name is Johnny, me and my dad are going on a rockfishing trip next month and he’s getting really old and he’s gathering all of his old friends around the us to do this trip. His birthday is 3 weeks away and I’m trying to get him a new rod and reel. If I get this reel it would go to him for his last fishing trip of his life. He loves purple 😂😂 so this would be the perfect reel for my old man .

[@StephenGilmartinJr]

Great review. Anxious to get my hands on one of these.

[@richardjones2811]

Returned a Penn Battle 3 2500 after using twice. Never dunked and it just seized up and started grinding.

[@samak9196]

Would you buy the live liner In this series or Shimano’s Baitrunner? I have had two Thuunus’ dragged into the ocean off a dead stick and cleaning them up was painful. I’m thinking the VI’s seal may be a better choice in live lining reels. Your thoughts?

[@danvaca199]

I love both- but keep baitrunners off the beach I feel your pain same thing happened to twice.

[@TackleAdvisors]

I'm confident in the Spinfishers enough to recommend them..the new thunnus reels are good but not worth the $$$$ CI4 in a bait reel....not needed

[@TackleAdvisors]

it's worth mentioning the SSVI liveliners take minutes to clean...not the case with the shimano baitrunners

[@patrickspehnkouch2345]

I've got an oldschool baitrunner (4500B series), if you can find an old one on ebay and have it checked out and serviced, it'd be worth it. They're tanks, but yeah you might be better served by the new spinfisher 6. If you want a cheap dependable "baitrunner" drag possessing reel, I've really abused my okuma avenger abf-50, and it's performed very well. It's pretty light and very smooth.

[@theeverydayfisherman7906]

Love most of the penn products.

[@gavenlange2173]

Great video. I think I might pick one up myself. What size reel is it??

[@patrickspehnkouch2345]

Do you recommend this over a Fuego LT or BG...for a $100-ish kayak reel to be used in 99% saltwater conditions? I was leaning towards another BG (love my 2500) but wanted lighter. The spinfisher VI is about 2oz heavier than a comparably sized fuego LT, which is a big difference for what I'll be using it for. BTW I loved the $100 reel comparison video, and all of your vids actually.

[@TackleAdvisors]

Well considering Elias V is sending he his second fuego lt that fully seized.....I'd say so. Those reels aren't rugged. In the saltater and sand exposure / resistiance department. The spinfisher is much better suited. But heavier. Thanks Patrick

[@patrickspehnkouch2345]

@@TackleAdvisors thank you! I guess 10.5oz isn't too heavy for a lot of casting/jigging...maybe I'll just go for a really lightweight rod, Fenwick hmg or mojo inshore maybe

[@nated6190]

Locking up is not a good sign. I dunked my BG and still working smoothly. Mind you I dropped the rod in the surf going after my second rod. It was sandy and washed afterwards but still works like new

[@TackleAdvisors]

It's back to like new again which was surprising.....normally once it sticks and gets raspy...no grease or oil fixes it.....but it's good now........I have a bg 4k right next to it now with the same issue....but not able to be brought back....and when i did the review on the bg...I had to replace that same bearing (went with a boca yellow seal) It's common to see issues with those bearings.

[@bidhanjoshee4542]

Excellent video sir!! Did you experienced wobbly rotor and bail after some time of use with this reel? I've been using my spinfisher v 5500 for a year now and its rotor is wobbly and makes strange sound. don't feel like lure fishing with spinfishers

[@mikegonzalez4469]

Love your vid's . Great fishing knowledge !!!

[@gscompton1965]

One of the main reasons i watch is the thruthfulness in every review .....Keep it up ...P.S gimme Quantum hotsauce !! .imo it works just wis h i could get a bigger volume of it ....LOL

[@Theprezzzident]

Been here since day1! Love them videos bro....🙏

[@TackleAdvisors]

Hey Jay! Whattya say!!! Thanks brotha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@bboyrygis]

Great review and informative

[@jeremywilson8381]

I have a question not related to this video Tackle Advisor. Have tried out the new diawa Tatula 100? If so, what is the deal with the very restricted tuning of the brake. It seems like whether I was throwing a 1/4 oz or a 3/4 oz the mag dial adjustments were literally the same. Other than this it's a solid reel. Thanks

[@TackleAdvisors]

hmmmmm that's interesting. it shouldn't if it's like all the others....I fish mine on 4 maybe max5.... once you hit 7 or above it should be very manageable and very restrictive.....major distance loss but great for tough conditions and learning.

[@LifeofMurphysOutdoorsChannel]

Great review!!

[@ktmorris5058]

Thanks for the info. This is the next reel

[@jeffmasaki3234]

Need to check out that can. Thanks for the link

[@theoneforu69]

Good Job!

[@anthonyaudia2263]

Love the channel

[@RhinoVenturesOutdoors]

Thanks for the review

[@chuck750ss8]

How well was the bearing lubed from the factory? Would packing this bearing with a high quality synthetic grease have prevented this?

[@NHseacoast]

Nice review! What's is the chemical used in Interflon is it a silicon?

[@jsauceda4515]

Hello Friend I have a question, what kind of grease do you recommend to grease my Spinning reel? Can I use marine grade grease?

[@hooked_set_tv5099]

Always great content keep it 👍

[@rustyfishhookfishing4094]

Thanks for the vids. What is your quick take on the Penn clash?

[@forcedlx]

Love the work Scooby, I have the Saltiga BJ 200sh and been loving it.

[@starbuck8885]

Some guy on the boat landed a 25-30 lb bluefin on a 3500 size spinfisher. Must have been fun!

[@laughlan22]

clipper oil works very well, temperature stable

[@pakde8002]

0:30 while it's not scuba rated Penn's reps are talking up the improved seal system with a IPX5 rating so in my opinion they're saying it's designed to be safe if dunked. I am wondering, now that the VI has been out a while, is it really better than the V series. Because those puppies are dirt cheap now. Is it worth it? Hopefully someone in 2020 sees this and replies.

[@dorsegev626]

Great review Thanks

[@bmatkinson1]

What is the stepped and tapered tool you spin the bearings on starting around 4:42? That looks like a handy little tool!

[@TackleAdvisors]

It's a bearing check tool. Look for the 4$ ones on ebay

[@TC_Fishing]

Great video!

[@sm9798]

Some sealed reels make noise. Some don’t. Maybe just pick of the litter. Rinsing your reels after every outing with some dawn soap and warm water.

[@stevenmcfarland3884]

Nice Show What rod do recommend for a Saragosa 5000 For surf casting As a rod and reel match?

[@TackleAdvisors]

9'6 or 10'6 tiralejo sticks are great... I use 12 to 18ounce reels with those specific rods and it's a perfect match....Spectacular sticks and in my opinion best in class.....even punchin a few classes up......The 9'6 black hole cape cod striper nano is a great rod too...lots of power with a great action that easily fires up to 4ounces with some oomph. St croix mojos are the most popular in the price range...But I think the tiralejos are well worth the few bucks more. Daiwa's sp surf rods are pretty nice for the price too.....good actions for plugging. Not lifeless and broom sticky like some others in the 200$ and under class

[@archieoutdoors1776]

Just bought a SSVI4500BLS, whats a good rod to pair it with for jetty/surf fishing?

[@whenitcountsforgetaboutit9709]

Took your advice and will order one soon...

[@506fishing8]

A friend of my landed a YFT from the rocks in Guanacaste, Costa Rica, with a Spin Fisher 3500!

[@TackleAdvisors]

BEAST!!!!!!

[@raytongsl]

Looks like an awesome reel.

[@baironperez2231]

Great review! Might be interested in picking one up!

[@PartnerProAlliance]

Would you buy a new SpinFisher V or VI 3500 if you has a choice?

[@juanrangel3741]

Nice review!

[@seanmamaclay9554]

I've always been a shimano guy but after this review I'm convinced in buying a reel for myself an giving it a try! Who knows maybe i just might switch teams lol . Great review! 👌🏽

[@cearly1696]

Currently have a BG for my saltewater needs...seems like we have more optoins in the price range now. Too bad I dont get to use it as much as I want. Thanks for the review!

[@teddylandefeld6380]

Still seems like a great reel. Def going to be buying a 4500 size for throwing live bait to snook, redfish, and tarpon...

[@TackleAdvisors]

Yup...sure is. Felt it was worth showing everything....because..nobody else will lol

[@kayakandlandfishing2651]

When your fishing will you still hear that bearing sound because if you don’t even hear while fishing the reel what does it matter right

[@MATTW3R]

is this a good reel for beginners? I want a nice reel that I don't have to do a ton of maintenance on every time I want to go fishin I only go camping/fish like 3 times a year

[@TackleAdvisors]

Id say so. It's pretty well rounded. And easy to maintain when and if needed.
