Penn Pursuit IV Spinning Fishing Reel

Smooth action and very solid! Not the most expensive in the world so I would say really great for it's price range!

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!

This is my first time using this Preen Pursuit IV spinning fishing reel. I must say WOW it is build to allow me to cast long distances using a 12 foot fishing pole. The quality and workmanship of this spinning reel is outstanding very smooth in casting and winding in the line !

Very good reel

I'm giving this a 4 at this time for the 8000 size. Fat, heavy reel, even with the graphite casing, the 8000 is a beast . Did the research: best budget, easy to maintain, take apart, grease, wd40. Not overly protected for saltwater, and you can hear those bearings. But hey.., you get what you pay for. And this is best budget-budget. The drag adjustment is Sweet! Tons of adjustment.. Nice clicky! I bought this reel to mainly boat pitch, but still do inshore and pull big fish off a pier. Paired it with the Shimano Talvera 7' 30-65 lb. A roll of the Dorisea 40 lb braid at 328 yards is perfect. Then all you need is a swivel and some leader. Very stoked at this point. However, I would probably recommend the 6000 size before this. I think it's probably lighter and a better size for doing inshore and offshore. (more versatility) The 8000 is a pig. lol Hope that helps. (will update this)

Penn has always produced quality reels. this is no exception. The difference here is the price tag. while most quality reels cost well over $100, this delivers great performance at 1/2 that. It is a little heavier than other reels, but it is well made, smooth and powerful enough to land almost anything. More drag and line capacity than you'll ever need. There are smoother lighter reels available, but be prepared to pay $100-$200 more. Highly recommend for new anglers or someone who needs more than one setup.

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.

The Peen Pursuit is the only reel I will buy anymore. I have 2 Pursuit IV 6000s on my catfish rods and a Pursuit III 4000 on my inshore rod and love them. They are the perfect blend of value and quality especially in a world where good inexpensive import brands exist. All the Penn quality at an agreeable price. They cast great, reel great, have good solid drag. Not too heavy like some other reels I've had. I just wish they made a 1000 size Pursuit for my ultra light gear!

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...

I have to say this is an amazing deal for the money. I absolutely love this reel which I use for LRF in combination with my Ugly Stik GX2. Very light and strong.

Mulinello robusto e superaffidabile. La qualità Penn si percepisce dai materiali.

La boîte dans laquelle se trouvait le moulinet était très amoché. Décevant recevoir un article de ce prix dans un état ainsi.
