Very good review mate well done. looks like a very nice reel

[@russellking7094]

Just got myself the 7000. Lovely looking and very light. So light that you think how is this strong enough. Not used it as yet

[@Northumberlandbasssman]

What do you think of it now? Does it make a meal of pulling in fish or not? Thinking about getting it for north east cod fishing off clean to rough ground beaches

[@Paul-Hatch2024]

Fantastic looking reel

[@shaunjones6049]

I bought the penn 7000, and it’s so light , when matched with my penn 14ft rods it feels like you’re holding a course fishing outfit. The line lay on the these reels is fantastic 👍 definitely, definitely improved my casting distance. Ordered another one today

[@Northumberlandbasssman]

How's it for pulling jn fish mate, does it feel undergunned tourque wise or are they fine?

[@shaunjones6049]

@@Northumberlandbasssman plenty of grunt in these reels I’m fishing very snagy marks on the Bristol Channel dragging conger’s and rays through weed beds and rocks in strong tides.🤔can’t imagine a tuffer test for a fishing reel in the Uk .

That's a stunning reel😢

When my original surf blaster brakes il buy one

[@MjrRoach]

Hi nice video! Can you recommend a case for it, that accommodates the spare spool 👍

[@ianjames8794]

Recently bought a Penn Tidal XR 15ft 9 inch rod. I'm really struggling to fit the three pieces together. Any tips please? Then the other issue would be taking the three pieces back apart again.

[@alessandramlp6901]

How many barring sustain the pinion gear ? Can you please share the schematic?

[@andyhill8312]

Hi, great video, just one question, what's the advantages and disadvantages between 7000 and the 8000 reels?

[@VealsMailOrder2898]

The 8000 holds more line and is slightly larger, making it a good option for general shore work. The 7000 would better suit a continental style rod or even a bass rod.

[@ibrahimozsarac4905]

Could you please inform us about its performance in current seas? Thank you.

[@Mister0String]

Hi Jansen, this is a brave one, anglers are so passionate about reels. 😂 I was considering a couple of Fathoms and now you've posted this. I think fixed spools are very practical but why do those multipliers look so good, until they turn into a birds nest 🤔 Seasonal greetings all.

[@thegamblingangler]

Hi Paul, I honestly believe that fixed spool reels are now on par with multipliers. The technology has been progressing nicely for a while and multipliers have been standing still. I’d reconsider the Fathoms and go for Tidal XT’s, or if you want to push the boat out, Shimano Power Aero’s.

[@trickyrick8621]

@@thegamblingangler HaHa..... A wider spool is common sense, not technology.

[@donsturley893]

Just bought a Penn Tidal XT 8000 .watched your video and done everything you did to get started. Went to Hythe last night First 3 casts ok . Then reeled in so i thought. no line was coming in the spool was turning but when i looked down the line had gone underneath the spool wrapped round the shaft ,So i had to go back to my Multiplier .Any suggestions would be appreciated

[@VealsMailOrder2898]

Really not sure sure how that might’ve happened, there should be a line guard in place that prevents the line from doing that?

[@colinbrette4387]

Possibly you over loaded the spool, thats the usual problem with fixed spools

[@donsturley893]

I have put a new Leader on and will try it on the field Colin@@colinbrette4387

[@AlfUckhamHall]

I had the same issue with the Surfblaster 3.

[@zsoltnemes7190]

Hi, what kind of drum reducers are there for these, 10000 and -3500?

[@PaulFrancis-bj6vp]

How do you rate the shimano beastmaster you reviewed for mixed and rough ground fishing the welsh side of the channel ? Which version is the most suitable ?

[@VealsMailOrder2898]

The model of Beastmaster I reviewed is perfect for the Bristol Channel, it coped fine when I used it.

[@PaulFrancis-bj6vp]

I have got some of those tapered leaders What leader knot would you suggest to use with a fixed spool set up ? The popular ones seem to be spider hitch and allbright , I was wondering which would be best to reduce crack offs using a fixed spool

[@VealsMailOrder2898]

@ I use the spider hitch without any issues

[@PaulFrancis-bj6vp]

Thanks Jansen ​@VealsMailOrder2898

[@TankerShell]

Between this and the Shimano ultegra xr, which one is better?

[@VealsMailOrder2898]

It does come down to personal preference as the two reels are similar, but I’d go for the Penn. The build quality and general performance seems a little better. Jansen

[@TankerShell]

@@VealsMailOrder2898 thanks for the quick reply

[@deemak3349]

hi bud,,i like to use 61lb Berkley Whiplash braid would that be ok on the both spools you get with the PENN TIDAL XT LONG CAST 8000 ? as i only use that braid looks a lovely real thanks for sharing.

[@leethornley2480]

I have only used fixed spool for 30 somthing years now , I prefer rear drag or clutch , Question Are there many rear clutch /drag fixed spool ,sea reels on the market , and is there a reason why they are mostly fromt clutch

[@VealsMailOrder2898]

Read drag fixed spools aren’t practical for use with heavier leads. The clutch probably wouldn’t lock down enough to hold the force of a cast with a heavy lead on a powerful rod.

[@M3adnoes]

what brand nylon did you use the orange one

[@VealsMailOrder2898]

Asso Ultracast, fantastic line for fixed spool reels- www.veals.co.uk/product/asso-ultra-cast-orange/?aff=27

[@urostovilovic7047]

45mm lang?

[@beany1987]

So its the main chassis aluminium and not alot of plastic like the surfblasters?? Didnt really described the main chassis and what its made of.

[@John_Reyes06]

What do you think of the penn surf blaster 3 8000?

[@VealsMailOrder2898]

Not bad at all and excellent line lay. Great reel for the price!

[@brunowattier6611]

Bonjour Très belle vidéo, entre le shimano ultegra ci4 et le Penn quel est le meilleur pour vous et pourquoi ? Merci

[@VealsMailOrder2898]

je préfère le Penn, il y a moins de jeu dans l'engrenage que l'Ultegra et l'oscillation est meilleure. J'espère que cela aide🙂

[@brunowattier6611]

@@VealsMailOrder2898 merci pour la réponse, impatient pour les nouvelles vidéo encore merci

[@archstanton6310]

Is it a manual bale arm , or engages when turning the handle . Cheers.

[@VealsMailOrder2898]

Manual on this one

[@SaidBousri]

hello.. I'm hesitating between the 8000 model and the 7000 model.. except for the line capacity and the weight, is there another advantage knowing that I fish in the Mediterranean? thanks for the video.

[@VealsMailOrder2898]

The 7000 model could be better for you as it’s slightly smaller and lighter and would be better for light lines

[@SaidBousri]
