Penn Battle IV Spinning Fishing Reel

Im using this on my 10ft surf rod. This real feels amazing out the box. Solid parts, looks fantastic and appears built to last. I took apart just to see everything and It was greased up well. It reels great and the drag is beautiful. It casts effortlessly. I paired it with power pro line. I did overfill the spool so I was forced to take out some line but my casting distance did not suffer. I donmake sure to rinse off all of my gear after fishing and I do not see any reason why this real will not last for years. If going on a longer rod I would size up. This is perfect for my 2 piece 10ft rod. I will be buying from Penn again. I camt wait to test out the larger reels.

I salt water wade fish 2-3 times a week and also use for kayak fishing. You can't beat a Penn reel. I own 5 Penn reels and 1 other brand. I will replace it with a Penn reel when it wears out. This is the only reel than stands up to the type of abuse I put it through. If you take care of it, it'll last a long time. Great value for the money. Light weight, well balanced and the drag works well.

I have fished with this reel for over six months. I have the Battle III - 6000. I've done freshwater fishing and caught bluegill, catfish, bowfin, and multiple bass with it. In the saltwater, I've caught redfish, trout, black drum, hardhead, gafftop, and several keeper blacktip sharks. I've swam out in the surf past where I could stand... this reel has been pounded with waves and stood up to anything I've thrown at it.It is NOT completely sealed. After a recent trip to the coast and numerous hours of surf fishing, the reel developed a small squeak. I took the reel apart after a short YouTube session... located and cleaned the offending bearing. It was not hard to take apart and the reel is now good as new. For the price, I have ZERO COMPLAINTS about this equipment. The reel is not advertised as fully submersible and I abused it well beyond its specs, and it held up just fine.My confidence in Penn is as high as it could be and my next rod/reel purchases will be from Penn. If you are looking for a reel that won't let you down, you've found it.

Great reel. Love the feel of it have it paired to a 10ft rod and haven’t had any trouble reeling any fish in. It is on a bit of the heavier side but nothing that makes it impossible to cast. Great build quality and line lag is impeccable

Beautiful says it all.

I surf fish often. I am usually knee deep in water and the reels get splashed as waves hit me and splash up. They rarely get dunked completely but it sometimes happens for very short periods so it's mostly salt water intrusion that I am concerned about over time. Sand intrusion has never been an issue.I disassemble and grease/oil the reels myself on a regular basis.I have owned 4 Battle II reels. All have performed well but all have had the same issues. The bearings hold up surprisingly well. I have rarely had a bearing failure if maintained. The gears however are made out of a metal that corrodes and wears relatively quickly. The brass pinion gear also corrodes and seems to wear or distort under continued use. The good news is the metal bodies are rigid and hold up/do not distort so I just order new gears and the reels function excellently.(BTW...If you are looking for a light weight reel, these are not it...they are not super heavy but not light either)The new Battle III has several improvements. The gears are CNC machined and seem to be of nicer quality. There is has been one problem. In the pictures you will see the crosswind bar. This essential little part in the new Battle III is machined very thin on the back side. My relatively new reel was functioning well but I disassembled it for its first maintenance and found the bar to be broken but still attached and functioning. To me it appears that this seems like a design flaw. The part is too thin on the back edge and from the pictures I think you would agree. I was nervous putting in the replacement part because I was concerned the screw pressure would break it.I called Penn customer service. I described the issue and offered to send photos. Once I told the agent I was surf fishing with it he kind of cut me off and said basically they didn't cover the reel for that kind of use. Now they are promoted as a salt water reel and especially good for surf fishing so I was not so happy. He was pretty firm about this. I asked if they would at least send out a replacement part. He said they do not send out parts. They also have few parts in stock because of supply chain issues and referred me to a third party, Mystic Reel Parts. I could have sent in the reel for repair but at my own expense.Anyway...decent reel for the price. Design, drag, bearings, housing are all good. If you are a regular user, frequent maintenance is the key (not just a spray down with a hose) and be ready to replace gears. Customer service leaves something to be desired. Your mileage may vary.

My Wife (a Citizen of) & I bought property overlooking the Ocean in the Philippines, @ a distance of just 1/3 of a mile from the beach. Surf fishing is going to be a major part of my life. I bought the 10,000 (for $120) & out of the box, it feels a bit heavy (but this is one big reel), but it is Super Smooth. I'll pair it up with an 11' Ocean Angler Rod. I also ordered a 6000 (for $106, it arrives tomorrow & i can't wait to feel how smooth it is), that I'll pair up with a 12' UglyStick...& then I have a Penn Fathom 6 (baitcaster) on an 11' UglyStick...I have an 8000 Finn-Nor, an 8000 & 6500 Okuna (all spinners) also & will be looking for rod set ups for those reels as well...I'm retired & live in the Midwest. I'm looking forward to no more winters, burying my toes in the sand & hauling in the fish. I just want to be prepared for most anything Mother Nature serves up. When I'm not Fishing, I plan to be Golfing. I once heard... If You Fish, You don't Golf & if You Golf, You don't Fish...Well, guess what ?The 10,000 & 6000 together, for $226, is a great buy. Personally, I don't need top of the line equipment, I just need equipment that'll get me across the finish line. Once I took the reel out of the box & spun the handle on it, gave it a few turns, I was very pleasantly surprised. It is silky smooth. For the price, and considering the size, I was expecting it to shake & grind like a box of nuts and bolts, but instead, it was a symphony of silence. I was dumbfounded. True, I haven't wrapped it with line, I haven't casted it, and I haven't felt a Fish on the dummy end of this thing, but if first impressions count for anything, this 10,000 is going to serve its intended purpose, quite well. As I mentioned, it's weighty. But I plan on wading out just over knee deep & chucking some bait (shrimp or live bait) out on the Ocean floor, allowing free line, until I get to the pole holder, tightening up the slack & then parking myself under a shade canopy, in a comfy chair, and wait for the good times to roll...Hopefully in a year or 2, I'll follow up this review, with an actual usage review. But for now, all I can do is tell You my first impressions, and my first impression tells me, to tell You, to take advantage of this sale & order You a Battle III, so You can see for Yourself, how smooth these reels are, for the $$ & I dare You to write a better review on a 10,000 series reel, for the same amount of $120.

Awesome price and catches a lot of fish

Penn kalitesi tartışılmaz. Adı gibi savaş canavarı. Büyük balık için ideal. Ağırlığı 1kg civarı gerçekten gördüğüm en ağır makine. Ve 0.40 780 mt ip aldı kerata. Kendi parası kadar da ip parası verirsiniz ama hakkını verir.

Llegó la caja despegada sin embargo el producto llegó bien con lo que trae dentro. Carrete sólido y de buena calidad, el aro de excelente calidad más grueso y resistente que otras marcas, bobina de aluminio, tiene un giro muy suave para su tamaño, medianamente pesado, el tamaño es bueno para mi mano para un carrete tamaño 6000, se siente muy bien, como su nombre lo dice es un carrete para la batalla, Penn es garantía en durabilidad 💪🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Mulinello eccezionale

Excelente compra, 1000/10Todo súper bien

Para mi gusto no es un carrete que puedas usar para rockfishing, demasiados enredos, muy lejos de sus competidores directos Daiwa y Shimano, es mas bien para pescar a boya desde escollera sin pretensiones de pescar grandes piezas. Eso si, la calidad de construcción es sublime, una pena que no cuente con alguna tecnología anti enredos.
