LOL, let me first preface this review with "size matters" hahaha........ I think, for most of us on freshwater rivers and lakes, the 6000 model will do fine for even the largest catfish you might hook. I bought this, for that reason, catfishing. I got the 8000 and well, it's hard to tell from a pic online but that thing is a BEAST. it's HUGE, lol. It makes my biggest rod feel insignificant (LOL). I hooked a 20 some lb blue the other night (June 2018) and although it felt like i was spinning a giant crank around, it hossed him in with NO effort, no complaint (creaks, squeaks, tweaks etc), like a champ. I have a more stout fishing rod coming for it and they'll compliment each other well. Just know,

I am quite satisfied with the purchase. I bought this reel as a replacement of a broken Shakespeare reel coming from an uglystick combo last year. This Penn reel is made of metal, with very few plastic part, making it very durable. I have been jetty fishing with it twice a week; scratched it everywhere: splash, sand, soaked in salt water. Yet after a year, the reel still spins smoothly like new. Comparing with my broken Shakespeare reel, which had all kinds of problems and lasted less than a year, this Penn reel is a much superior product at the next level. Still, good product like this cost less than $40 - In addition, I only ordered one at the Black Friday sale,

I LOVE THIS!!!!!I been using the Shakespeare reel that came with the rod and it was fine but when I do get a bigger fish hooked it was kind of difficult. When I put this onto my Ugly Stick there was such a big difference. I think this plus the Ugly Stick combo made me fall in love with fishing. I got this during Blackfish season so have been using this to get myself some Blackfish and it has worked GREAT.My husband got another reel for his Ugly Stick and he likes this one better. He sometimes steals my rod to use when I take a break xDI recommend this to anyone. Absolutely love this reel.

These are the first Penn reels I have every bought. Purchased 3 of these for our annual family trip to the outerbanks. I wanted a simple but very durable reel without spending a fortune. These have been more than I expected. They are not flashy (my preference), can take the abuse of surf fishing and exposure to salt & sand. Easily reel in nice sized blue fish and an assortment of other types of fish.. The bonus is that these are easy to disassemble, clean, and re-grease.. I expect these to last me several years if not longer.

Great product as are other Penn reels I own. Will be using for yellowtail snapper. Holds plenty of 15# line but still small and light enough to hold for long periods. Just ordered another.Second reel is as good as the first. One thing I've noticed is the bail can bang into your fingers if your hand is not completely closed. I was fishing from a kayak but didn't notice this when fishing in a stand up position. Pulled in a bunch of yellowtails and mangrove snappers with no problem.

I bought the 4000 for $35. Its pretty solid. I had an ugly stik 8ft combo that came with a defective or broken reel and put this on it.If you are looking at the plethora of Penn stuff I have a couple battle reels too. The battle is definitely superior and has sealed bearings but if you are like me and only use your saltwater stuff a couple times a year i would recommend this and see how it does.

This is my 3rd Pursuit II 6000. Love it. One tiny problem is that the handle will come slightly unscrewed easily if you accidentally reverse reel when you are battling a big fish. It won't come off but it is a little annoying when battling a beast with a lot of power and it pulls down hard while you are holding onto the pole and the handle of the reel and the handle maybe unscrews 1/4 turn.

Paired this for a Heavy 6' Ugly Stik GX2 with 50lb braid, for an inexpensive deepsea finding combo. Works very well for so far. Took it out on a trip a couple weekends ago and caught a bunch of red and mingo snappers, up to 5lbs in 130ft of water. Very smooth drag and reel. Can definitely put at least 200ft of 50lb braid on this reel. I'll try to update once I increase the species size.

BEST FOR THE PRICE. STURDY REEl. I USUALLY NEVER REVIEW IN FULL CAPS LOCK. HAD ONE BEFORE, BOUGHT 2 MORE. HANDLES ANY FISH BUT GET THE RIGHT SIZING. CAUGHT 20LB CHINOOK SALMON ON THIS. SAME WITH ROCKCOD/LINGCOD. HAVE YET TO HOOK A BATRAY BUT I GOT OTHER GEARS FOR IT, FOR SURE IT CAN HANDLE. RECOMMEND AT LEAST 4000 SERIES + FOR ROCKCOD OR LARGER FISH.

Bought 2 for surf casting w/8ft poles in south fla. Spooled with 20 lb KastKing braided line. So far so good. No tangles. Always smooth on cast and retrieve. Typical Penn Quality so far.. Time will tell just how good these are built. Been used 6 times and rinsed with fresh water after use. All exposed metal was sprayed with ballistol before use.

I've had this reel for four years, using it 2 months a year. I clean and lubricate with PENN grease every year and I've had no problems with corrosion. I bought another reel last year so I'd have two to use and I like them both. I did have to replace the clutch bearing on the second one but I think that bearing was faulty when I got the reel.

I love this reel! I use it paired with an 8' medium action B & M Silver Cat rod. Its my Flathead / big cat reel. Such a smooth caster, and all around solid reel. I have the 8000 model for line capacity. Currently spooled with 50lb. Mono, and plenty of line to wear out big fish. Highly recommend!

Once taken cared off and rinse properly after each salt water use And a good grease up every now and then this product will last Nd is worth the money. Salt water is dangerous on any materials so should take this in consideration to always take care of your equipment and it will never fail you.

I paired this 6000 with a heavy action Penn Mariner II boat rod... For under $100 with line, I have my favorite offshore setup. I'm pretty OCD on caring for my reels, so it gets a good cleaning after each time out. Hadn't failed me yet and I've caught some absolute beasts with it.

Super smooth in everything it does. Love the positive click when you open the nail to cast, no worries about it flipping back over during the cast. My 10 year old son reeled in a 4 foot Blacktip shark and said Dad I need one of those reels. Guess I’ll be buying at least one more.
