I bought this rod and reel combo about two weeks ago, as an upgrade to my PENN Fierce IV Surf Combos for my shark surf fishing setup. Caught 3 big bat rays and a 5 ft long leopard shark on the combo with ease. Reel is insanely powerful, and by far one of the best reels you can get out there in the “ middle to expensive ” price range for PENN spinning reels. Rod is a little stiff, but it performs very well for the price of the combo and it held up well against the might of the leopard shark and bat rays with relative ease.

Wanted to get back in to surf fishing and was looking for a mid- range new rod and reel. Checked the in- store sale and this setup was$ 50 less on sale. Penn is a great company with quality products so I did t even think twice about it. Planning on doing quite a bit of surf fishing this year and love that I have a durable rod I can depend on now.

Used to have the last model of 10k Saragosa SW. Was too big to cast or hold all day, so sold it and recently bought the 6k Saragosa SW A. Love it. Smooth and light and casts well. That said the 6k has limited line capacity. Fishing for pelagic species off the kayak in SE Florida the 8k or 10k makes more sense so may buy one for next trip down. Hard to find at local stores so online seems like the only way to get one.

The reason I am only giving it four stars because of its packing teams, jobs were not well done... keeping the long story short. In general, I am happy with Shimano products and I can guarantee you this reel will last a long long time if you take good care of it. I love Shimano products and I will keep buying them. One thing you need to remember, the products are the same, however, they are good or bad depend on whom you buy them from. Invest your money to the right products and people. Until then, good luck and good fishing. Thanks, Vinh

I have several larger baitfeeder spinning reels for surf fishing, including a Penn Fierce III 6500 and an Okuma Avenger 8000 series. I was looking for something smaller/lighter but still tough enough for medium duty saltwater. I opted for the Penn Fierce IV 4500 series which I spooled with PowerPro 30lb braid, as opposed to paying almost double for a Spinfisher 4000 series with LiveLiner option. Very satisfied. Have caught blues on bait in the surf and some larger catfish in freshwater so far. Versatile setup.

Salmon King
I purchased this reel primarily for the size. I like a big reel for the grip and significant ease in retrieval when I have a real angry 25- 30 lb salmon fighting me. Summation, I bank fish 75% of the time. Overall, a nice, smooth, and great casting reel. I am going to give this a shot on steelhead soon. Ya it's like towing a 2 door Nissan car using a Semi truck. Due to its size it takes just a pinch of time to dial the reel in to cast& retreive. Compared to my Okuma Ceymar C65 the Penn is just a bit better in my very large hands. I am going to buy the Penn Penn Battle III BTL II 8000 in a week. Any suggestions are welcome.

CMJ0129
Good, lightweight and strong reel in the 3000 to 4000 size. The slow oscillation level line feature lays braided line on the spool very evenly and makes it great for long casting. Pair with a medium to moderate 6' 8 '' to 7' 6 '' inshore rod with micro- guides and you have a lightweight, sensitive, long casting setup! I have a 3000 size on a custom 7' 2 '' Rod Geek carbon blank( St Croix) with MicroWave guides. The price is steep for this reel but Penn stands behind their gear and with proper care, will last a lifetime. If it were at a better price for what's under the hood, I 'd rate it 5 of 5 stars

I have been getting into Bait Caster reels. Bought Shimano, Diawa, and this Lews reel. The Shimano Curado only had 4 brake setting and I could n't get it to cast very far without backlash. The Diawa worked ok. The tention knob was very touchy and hard to access behind the drag. The Lews had a great brake knob that had a good range of tension. It has 20 brake settings and it casts awesome. Get this one....

Carbon fiber drag washers are components used in spinning reels that provide smooth and consistent drag performance. They are known for their lightweight nature and high strength, which helps in managing the line tension effectively during fights with fish. Their durability also ensures that they can withstand the rigors of fishing without degrading over time.
Carbon fiber drag washers typically offer superior performance compared to traditional materials like felt or rubber. They provide a smoother drag experience, which is crucial for preventing line breakage during intense fishing situations. Additionally, carbon fiber is less prone to wear and tear, making it a more durable option for avid anglers.
When selecting a spinning reel with carbon fiber drag washers, consider the reel's overall drag system, including its maximum drag capacity and adjustability. It's also important to evaluate the reel's weight, gear ratio, and the type of fishing you plan to do. A well-balanced reel with effective drag washers will enhance your fishing experience significantly.
Yes, carbon fiber drag washers are versatile and can be used for various types of fishing, including freshwater and saltwater applications. Their ability to handle high drag pressures makes them suitable for targeting larger species. However, the specific reel design and drag system should also align with the type of fishing you intend to pursue.
To maintain the performance of carbon fiber drag washers, it's essential to keep the drag system clean and free from debris. Regularly inspect the washers for any signs of wear and ensure they are properly lubricated with appropriate reel grease. Avoid over-tightening the drag, as this can lead to premature wear and affect the smoothness of the drag performance.
