PennRival Level Wind Conventional Fishing Reel

Excelente, he sacado animales hasta de 20 kg con el

alles gut!!

This reel is a sibling spinoff from the or the penn warfare of course they both took their design similarities from the original squall series. The main thing I liked about this reel is it similar to a baitcasting reel like the penn international 965 and 975 but in a cheaper body. I like the self engagement feature it provides where you only need to turn the handle to engage the reel like a baitcaster. First time out of the box it may feel a little tight but omce you place on a rod it feels better. I used it for rockfishing, catfishing, bay fishing and salmon and works well. Do not try to use it on very large game as the drag and plastic pins are not built for things like bliefin tuna. If they make this with all metal gears and pins I would say it is a great catch.

I have always been a fan of Penn. This seems to be a good basic inexpensive reel. I purchased two for cat fishing. Note: these reels are also available as a combo, but I was not impressed with the Penn rod so I purchased different rods locally and bought both reels on Amazon. So far I am satisfied but have not hooked into a cat over 20 lbs so cannot say how well they will hold up after a few feisty 40+ cats. I also will use them for pier fishing on different rods. I was looking for an inexpensive reel with decent gears and brakes that will last. I believe these will fill the bill.

I really like the retrieve ratio on this reel for my catfishing from the bank. When you use heavy sinkers it is important to be able to retrieve fast enough to keep the weight off the bottom, and away from snags. This reel performs awesome for me!
