I was having high expectations of this reel after reading plentiful of good reviews. However, after unboxing and my first feel of it did not really impressed me as much but enough to make me feel awesome though. Perhaps I was overly expecting it to be better than all reels below it's retail price.I have an Abu Garcia Pro Max SP30 reel and comparing the 'dry spin' and 'feel' on both reels, the SP30 is smoother and is as solidly built as the PB II 2000. I then oiled it up with a drop of super reel oil on both the spool and handle bearing and it flew like a feather. I am very delighted indeed. One rather exceptional feature I like most about the PB II 2000 is the higher spinning ratio of 6.2:1,

I really like the size of the reel. Very smooth and a nice steady drag.Although I can't say the same about Penn's Customer Service. I had an issue with the line lay(which they supply washers to adjust). After swapping the washer to get the line to lay correctly the drag has become almost inaudible. And to this point I have gotten very little to no help from writing Penn. While the reel still works fine and maybe it's just mental; it doesn't feel perfect.

Second time I used this reel it locked up on me with a nice fish on that I ended up loosing .To make matters worse the problem is the clicker spring under the spool came unscrewed and all the parts got lost . They are in the parts (4 or 5 small parts} schematics and would probably cost 99 cents each so they only sell the whole spool for almost 30$ What a joke !

It feels sturdy overall but compared to its competitor (Daiwa BG) I believe the overall construction is lacking. I only used this for a couple of weeks and the BG for 2 years. So I can only comment on limited features. But I would say Penn Battle II is more suited for smaller reel sizes 3000 and below.

Nice reel. Would definitely buy again. I used it this summer for pan fishing and it's doing a good job. I paired it up with an Ugly Stick rod and it makes a winning combo.I'm also left handed and I like that you can change back and forth between left and right as needed very easily.

I brought this reel to use with the Shakespeare ugly stik the rod and reel go perfectly together for me some might find the reel a little on the small ,but it’s nice and very lightweight but that doesn’t mean that it’s not very well made.l found the combination of the two perfect

Like the look and feel. Seems smooth. Didn't realize how big this was going to be. I got the smallest model 2000 and it's pretty big and surprisingly heavy. Other than that it does seem like a quality reel. Looking forward to using it to see how it'll stand up.

Switching from freshwater fishing to saltwater fishing and these Penn reels are a must have! They have SEALED ball bearings, not SHIELDED ball bearings. A biggggggg difference!!! Should last me my lifetime if taken care of!!!

Makes me feel like one of those TV fishermen when I show up with my $100 reel. It does work nice, heavy weight feels like it will last a long time. I have two young kids so my setup lays in the dirt most of the time anyway.

I have now purchased for my personal use a fifth Penn Battle spinning reel. I purchased two additional Penn Battle reel combos for a business friend to keep at his coastal home - they're all performing well. Terry

Love this reel. I bought 2. A 2000 series and a 5000series. Caught several bulls redfish on the 5000 without issue. And accidentally caught a 35#black drum on the 2000 and it’s still going strong.

Many spin casts havea noticeable catch before the bailer wire is triggered for retreiving. This one is ever so slight but still there. Satisfied. Would not prevent me from purchasing again.

If you are a regular fisherman this seems to be very good quality. I use this reel once or twice a week, because of its quality build I fully expect it to stand the test of time.

Exactly as described. Smooth functioning and smooth drag I bought this for a combo of fresh and salt water use. Perfect for both and great price point too.

I bought this on a daily deal at a really good price. I took it out to the lake for a test drive. It is smooth. All features functions just right.
