5 fish4cats
Great product for the money. No issues with jamming so far. Casts well and the clicker is great. If money is no object than get yourself a catfish series Abu, if money is tight this reel will work well if you are familiar with using baitcasting reels. If you 're going for bigger cats you might consider changing the line.

4 CatfishHunter
Bought this reel for a black Friday event in 2018 and have used this reel on an ugly stick catfish rod and I 'm very impressed with it. The only things I had to do is break the reel down and re- oil it and change the line on the reel but I always re- oil my reels before using for the 1st time. I highly recommend this reel for the price. I restrung this reel with 65 lb braid and it's held up great but always back it with good mono line.

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.

Great reels. I have 2 and am shopping for another. Wo n't buy it here because they do not have the higher gear ratio in the left hand retrieve model. Only 4 stars because it comes with combat grips instead of Winn knobs. But, I have swapped the combat grips for Winn round knobs. I even contacted Lew's and was able to get black and gold end caps for the knobs. I have one on a TP1 Black and the other on a Custom Lite. The reels cast great, the retrieve is smooth, and they are strong. And, they look good too. Get one today.

5 JohnnyH1889
I bought this for an upcoming fishing trip and the location changed from freshwater lake fishing to saltwater coastal fishing. Although it is not a dedicated saltwater reel the stainless steel bearings should hold up. I just need to be careful not to drop it too many times in the sand. We all know how brutal saltwater can be on fishing tackle it up a little heavy because I had 30lb braid on hand. This thing rocks! Pretty much any I wanted to and reeling in was super smooth and effortless. The drag was very easy to adjust and worked as described. The reel is super lightweight especially with the carbon fiber handle and will definitely help keeping from getting fatigued on long days of fishing.

5 JH56
bought this new reel last week and am impressed with the overall quality. The fit and finish are excellent. I spooled it up with 20 lb braid( 6 lb equivalent mono) and it spooled nicely. There is a section in the middle of the spool to keep the line from sliding which is a nice feature. I made some test casts with it and it cast very smoothly and very long. The reel itself is very smooth and quiet with the 10+1 ball bearings. The drag also seems very smooth even when tightened down substantially further than I 'll probably need. This will now be my go to spinning reel. Excellent quality.

5 JohnH89
I bought this for an upcoming trip but right after I submitted the order the destination was changed from freshwater to salt water! Anyone that has fished salt knows how brutal it can be on tackle gear! While this is not a dedicated salt reel it is sealed and has stainless gears so it should hold up just fine. however I might be a little careful when fishing from shore because the sand has a way of getting into everything, and this is such a great reel. I spooled it a little heavier than suggested but I only had 30lb braid on hand but this reel was super accurate with test casts, putting my rig right where I wanted to go, and even while paired with a shorter rod, I was able to cast further than with other combos I have. Reeling in was effortless and had super quick gears, plus this reel is light weight, I could see fishing all day with it without the normal fatigue from heavier, more sluggish reels. I ca n't wait to put this into action because this reel is `` PRO '' all the way

5 FishEverythng
This is a great spinning reel. I picked up the 2000 size to setup for some ultralight fishing. I have it paired with an Okuma Trout Rod with 15lb braid to 6 lb leader. This setup works great for casting ultralight lures. Went fishing this past weekend and the reel held up great. It's nice and smooth, fit and finish is great. Drag is very smooth. Excellent quality reel.

I bought the 3000 size reel to do some bass fishing and inshore and it's been performing great. The other day I hooked into a massive red in a pond and it ran straight for open water, taking out about 120 yds of line. I was worried about being spooled, but thankfully this drag stack had my back and I was able to fine tune it in order to put just enough pressure to control the fish and not break off.

I made a decision to purchase this reel because they were on sale. I am a Shimano guy. I bought one and put it on my most abused application. 65 pound braid. On my frog rod. One year later I purchased 2 more due to apparent toughness of the first. Put them on my second and third most used rods. Fast forward two more years, I have replaced all of my Shimano reels. And do n't expect to look back. Cost is 30 to 40 percent lower than the Shimano reels. Thank you for making the choice to keep these reels in an affordable price.

5 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.

4 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

We have a pair of these in the rocket tubes for Northeast striper fishing. They are on Ugly Stik 6. 5' Tiger Elites. The reel is strong, big crank, the level winder is strong enough for 40# plus stripers and its one less thing to worry about when you are hooked up with a big bass. Plenty of drag and they hold a lot of braid( we use 30 pound Spiderwire). Just make sure you wash them well, they are not saltwater sealed as good as others. Not a lot of bearings but smooth and tough.

Purchased this Shimano Reel for the dual drag feature. It is well balanced and smooth. I own Penn, Daiwa and some other good brand names, to me my Shimanos are just a cut above for overall value.

5 Usman
I bought this reel( 2500 size) and paired it with a Lew's Custom Pro Speed Stick( got in on sale for$ 90) and am using with 8 lb test fluoro. I use this set up for lightweight and finesse type fishing such as skipping senkos under docks, drop shot fishing or throwing weightless texas rigs around. Will say this reel feels really smooth and can cast a great distance without much weight. Skipping under docks is way easier with this reel also because of how smooth it is. It is definitely an upgrade from the Lew's Mach Crush spinning combo and the Lew's Mach 2 spinning combo I have. My dad is trying to get back into fishing and plan to buy him this as his first reel as well. Definitely recommend.

[ The Quantum Strive fishing pole is an excellent choice for both novice& experienced fishermen. Its lightweight yet durable construction makes it easy to handle, while the sensitive tip ensures you can detect even the slightest nibble. The reel offers smooth casting. The grip is comfortable for long fishing sessions. Whether you 're freshwater or saltwater fishing, the Quantum Strive delivers reliable performance

5 vadea_1839
[ ⸻ I got the Strive 4000 spinning combo and it was excellent gift for my husband, who absolutely loves fishing — and it turned out to be the perfect present! He ’s been using it on weekend trips around the NYC area, especially along the Hudson River and out near Jamaica Bay. The rod is lightweight but strong, and the reel has such a smooth action that even I was impressed watching him bring in a nice- sized striped bass last weekend. He said it feels great in the hand and handles really well even after a few hours out by the water. It ’s been a joy seeing him so happy and relaxed doing what he loves. If you ’ re looking for a solid combo for casual or more serious fishing, this one ’s definitely worth it!

[ The Strive 4000 7' 0 '' 1pc Medium 10- 17 Spinning Combo has quickly become my go- to setup for family fishing trips. The 7- foot rod strikes the perfect balance between casting distance and control, making it ideal for both beginners and more experienced anglers in my family. The medium power of the rod has proven to be a great fit for our outings. It's sensitive enough to detect even the lightest bites, but still has the backbone to handle larger fish in the 10- 17 lb range. I ’ ve used it to catch everything from bass to trout, and it holds up well, giving me the confidence to battle bigger fish without worry. The reel that comes with this combo is smooth and reliable. During family trips, I ’ ve appreciated how the drag system works seamlessly, especially when I ’ m reeling in a good- sized catch. The 4000 size reel is versatile and has plenty of line capacity, which is perfect when we ’ re fishing in different spots — whether it ’s a lake or river. The reel ’s performance has been consistent, and it never feels like I ’ m fighting the gear instead of the fish. One of the highlights for me, especially when we ’ re out fishing together as a family, is how comfortable the handle feels. Whether I ’ m casting or retrieving, it feels balanced and doesn ’ t cause any discomfort, even during longer sessions. My kids love using the combo too, as it ’s light enough for them to handle, yet sturdy enough to handle anything they might catch. I do want to mention that the rod ’s sensitivity is a double- edged sword. While it ’s fantastic for detecting bites, I ’ ve had to remind my younger family members not to overreact to every little tap. With the right touch, though, they quickly adjusted and really started enjoying the process. All in all, the Strive 4000 7' 0 '' 1pc Medium 10- 17 Spinning Combo has been a great addition to our family fishing trips. It ’s durable, easy to use, and provides excellent performance at a great price. Whether I ’ m fishing alone or with my family, it ’s the perfect combination of sensitivity and strength, making it a wonderful all- around choice for a variety of fishing experiences.

5 mariatmiranda_7979
[ This is an excellent choice for anglers seeking a reliable, versatile rod. The medium power offers great sensitivity and flexibility, making it ideal for a variety of fishing conditions. The 7' 0 '' length provides solid casting distance while maintaining control. The combo is well- built, with a smooth reel and sturdy rod construction. Overall, it's a great value for both beginners and experienced fishermen looking for a high- performance setup.

5 katef76_7225
[ Just in time for fishing season! My husband reviewed this one and told me what to say- 1) the rod is lightweight without being flimsy. You can feel how sturdy it is. 2) The rod does not break down, once spooled/threaded, it stayed loaded without any issues with the fishing line.( Unlike the VERY expensive one I got him for Christmas) 3) the rod had a good give to it, without being too much. 4) the reel worked fantastic and was smooth with a strong catch 5) it held up against our VERY WINDY lake without the problems he has with some rods 6) Finally, he told me he had two people on shore complement it! Note- this is an unspooled reel without fishing line premounted-

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.

Frequently Asked Questions For Power Fishing Reels

When selecting a power fishing reel, consider features such as gear ratio, drag system, and line capacity. A higher gear ratio can provide faster retrieval, while a strong drag system is essential for handling larger fish. Additionally, ensure the reel has sufficient line capacity to accommodate the type of fishing you plan to do.

Power fishing reels are typically made from materials like aluminum, graphite, and stainless steel. Aluminum offers durability and strength, while graphite is lightweight and resistant to corrosion. Stainless steel components can enhance the reel's longevity, especially in saltwater environments.

Power fishing reels are ideal for various fishing styles, including bass fishing, catfishing, and saltwater fishing. Their robust construction and high drag capabilities make them suitable for targeting larger species that require more strength and control. Depending on the type of fishing, you may choose between baitcasting or spinning styles.

Choosing the right size power fishing reel depends on the type of fish you intend to catch and the fishing technique you'll use. Consider the line capacity and drag strength needed for your target species. It's also important to match the reel size with your fishing rod to ensure optimal performance and balance.

Baitcasting reels offer greater control and accuracy for experienced anglers, making them suitable for heavier lines and larger lures. Spinning reels, on the other hand, are easier to use and more versatile, making them ideal for beginners and lighter tackle. The choice between the two often depends on personal preference and fishing style.
