Penn Pursuit V Spinning Reel

I used this Penn 8000 Reel today at Texas City Dike, Texas. I take the drag off so the fish will not pull the rod in the ocean or break the pole, reel, or line. I have seen this happen. There are sharks in this waterway that are several hundred pounds. I caught 2 Monster Drum Fish. One fish ( 36" fish)on my old reel. The drag could not hold the fish. I had to pull it ashore by hand. However, a short time later. I caught another Monster Drum ( 24" fish, see pictures) on the new Penn 8000 reel. I forgot to set the drag in the excitement. However, the Penn 8000 brought the fish in, and I was able to pull the fish up without a net (since the first fish broke my net). Some have complained and returned this product because "it was loose." I was going to buy this reel a few years ago at a local Fish and Boat store. It was approximately $150. However, you had to state whether you are left-handed or right-handed. I think all these reels are "right-handed ( since the majority of people are right-handed). When you try to attach the handle on the left-hand side, it is very loose and does not crank the line spool. The manufacturer may have an adapter for left -handed people. I highly recommend this product.

Great saltwater reel for the price

Very good and sturdy for lakes and rivers, they're perfect for a good day's work, I like them a lot

Will soon need rings to support line balanced storage. It wore away the plastic washer.

Excelente

First and foremost, the smoothness of this reel's operation is unmatched. Whether casting out a lightweight lure or battling a hefty catch, the Pursuit IV delivers consistently fluid motion, thanks to its precision-engineered design. This smoothness not only enhances the overall fishing experience but also ensures precise control over lure presentation and fish fighting. Durability is another area where the Pursuit IV shines. Constructed with high-quality materials and built to withstand the rigors of saltwater environments, this reel is a dependable companion for both casual outings and intense fishing adventures. I've subjected it to saltwater spray, sand, and challenging weather conditions, and it has held up admirably without compromising performance. Overall, I can't recommend the PENN Pursuit IV Spinning Fishing Reel highly enough. Whether you're a seasoned angler or just starting out, this reel delivers the perfect combination of performance, durability, and value. Invest in the Pursuit IV, and you'll be reeling in memorable catches for years to come.

I bought two of these reels and love both of them. I bought the size 6000 and size 8000 for saltwater fishing. Both are great reels. I've never bought a Penn reel that I was not satisfied with. This is a good looking and good performing reel, offered in different sizes for different needs. Highly recommended!

Durable, ample line capacity, smooth drive/reeling, good value for money.

Excellent moulinet pour la pêche côtière ! Fluide, robuste et très agréable à utiliser. La traînée est efficace et les matériaux inspirent confiance. Idéal pour ceux qui cherchent performance et durabilité. Je recommande sans hésitation !

Buenos carretes, compré dos con una oferta que había y contento con ellos. El freno es bastante sensible y aprieta bastante con cada clic. Tal vez podía ser mas progresivo pero poniéndome muy exquisito...

Super recomendado, me llegó sin problemas y de muy buena calidad, vale cada peso que pagas, ¡Recomiendo!

Blev många vindknutar när jag fiska med den motorn, kanske blir bättre med annan lina.

Produto sensacional, muito top e leve esse 2500, a partir do 3000 fica mais pesado, mas também todo reforçado com rolamentos vedados para água e poeira. Acabamento nível Shimano topo de linha, todo em alumínio escovado e corpo em grafite reforçado com manivela rosqueada direto no corpo. Comprei esse 2500 e o 3000 logo. Agora são meus xodós, deixei até meu Shimano Nasci 4000xg que custou 1 mil reais de lado pra usar os 2 Pursuits, só compra quem pesquisa e conhece a qualidade. Não troco mais de marca, agora futuramente é subir pro outros níveis de modelos da Penn, como Battle e Fierce. E detalhe, vendido e entregue pela Amazon Global pode confiar, são originais e tem extrema qualidade, direto dos EUA.
