I have this reel coupled with a two-piece, medium action 7' Ugly Stik spinning rod and 25 lb. mono. I love this combo! It serves mulitple roles with excellence at all. Great for casting Kastmasters, Hopkins, Striper Strikes and other lures from boat, shore or jetty for bluefish and stripers. It is also the perfect setup for bottom fishing over rocks and reefs for blackfish (tautog) in deeper water. Handles the added sinker weight, to 6 oz. or more for strong rip currents. It's also a good outfit for fishing from jetty or rocky shoreline for blackfish. It's perfect for drift fishing over deeper sand shoals and bars for doormat fluke.

This is the perfect ''entry level'' saltwater reel. Forget the Pursuit II and go for this one. Caught a couple of Snooks, Jacks and Bluefish off the beach in Florida. First spooled it with 30lbs Spiderwire braid, but changed it to 15lbs Kastking braid recently. There is a tiny little play in the handle axle but it's normal according to Penn. No play would be too stiff for the bearings...? When I bought it, the price was $78 CND + taxes, I recently saw it listed for $53... So take your time and put it on your Wishlist and check the price. I mostly use it for freshwater, but have no problems using it on my saltwater trips.

I have purchased two of these reels in the 6000 size. The one purchased from Amazon was about $20 cheaper than the one purchased at WalMart. Both are spooled with braided line, one 50# and the other 65#, and both required no mono for backing due to the rubber band on the spool for braid. I chose the Fierce II over the Pursuit because of the metal body. If you have ever tried to land a 20+ pound fish when the reel has broken off of the reel seat because of an inferior material used to make the body, you understand. Will always shop Penn first, as they state their reels are for saltwater use.

When I was looking for a new reel I was going to go with Pflueger or give Kastking a try until I saw this. I got it for my panfish rig and will look to this if I built another UL/L rod setup. Very happy with it, smooth, light and casts well. Plus it takes just the right amount of line so when I need to replace it I just grab a 125y pack of 8lb braid and just put the whole thing on and it leaves you with room for 5 yards if you want to use some leader. I would buy again and recommend this for anyone looking for a light or UL setup.

I picked up the Penn Fierce II 1000 size primarily as a kayak reel for freshwater. This Penn spools well, is lightweight and smooth. Gears are tight; no back-movement at all. So far, I'm very impressed with the manufacturing! Effortless operation. The 1000 is a good size for Crappie, which is currently the catch. I have several Penn reels; this is the smallest (and cutest!). I'd suggest only a thin braid on this reel, so you can get more line on the spool.

I am very happy with the look, feel and performance of this reel so far. I haven't managed to find that elusive 'big un' yet but I have no doubts that this reel won't let me down when the time comes!I don't know if I didn't read far enough into the description or what but I was very happily surprised to find the spool is designed for use with braided line. I promptly filled it with 260 yards of 20lb test!Thanks Penn for keeping quality affordable.

Bought the 1000 Fierce II for my 5’0” ugly stick, model USESP502UL. Perfect match. Not just a good mechanical match, but the red detail on the rod matches the red detail on the reel very well. This was an upgrade from the Shimano Sienna 1000FE. The Shimano was good but, as reflected in the price difference, the Penn is a much higher quality and superior reel. Very happy with the Penn!

Man this is a great little reel. I paired it with a 4 piece Daiwa travel rod, which I'm shocked to say I absolutely love as well (not a fan of mass produced rods). I'll update this review if/when I ever have any issues, but it'll be a while as this little reel is going to be a two trip per year reel. Very smooth, spool has rubber strip for braid, really good balance.

Went to Padre island a couple of weeks ago, my buddies kid used my Fierce 1000 standing in the surf all day. He must have caught 50 or 60 whiting. There's no telling how many times he got splashed by waves and soaked the reel. When I got it home opened it up to clean it out and regrease it, it looked brand new inside. No sign of water getting in.

Great reel havent taken it out to fish yet but it is solid i love the fact it has an anti-reverse switch on it so you can backreel while using light lines i intend to take it out ice fishing soon and im targeting large rainbow trout on 4lb leaders im confident if a fish bites on the rod with this reel ill have no trouble what so ever

I used this with cast king braided fish line, 20lbs test. Had a great day on the water thanks to my new reel. It is smooth and quiet. It handled catching 15 Black Drum one after the other. No issues. Felt comfortable in my hand, and landed a 9lbs fish with no issues. Looking forward to my next trip.

It is an amazing reel, feel great, the size is perfect in my opinion, you can do anything with this reel, as always Penn continues with his great work on reels.... I did recommend this to a couple of friends who start fishing and they love it too. I definitely will recommend this to anyone.

Have not fished with it yet but it is obvious this is a very nicely made reel with a very nice drag. All metal...USA made PENN!...can't go wrong& price is great! Worth far more than the price.I LOVE PENN REELS.... own a 1000-3000-4000 & 6000 in this series. YOU CAN NOT GO WRONG! :)

Really solid saltwater capable reel for the price range. They're a little heavier than some reels in the range, but seem to hold up really well. I've got 3 different sizes and all of them work well. I rinse all my gear after fishing in salt and that's kept them in good shape.

This is a high quality reel. My son has only used it a few times as he received it as a Christmas gift, but he is convinced he is going to have a stellar year with this baby. It is made very well, has a great weight and ease of use.
