PENN Pursuit IV Spinning Fishing Reel

The Peen Pursuit is the only reel I will buy anymore. I have 2 Pursuit IV 6000s on my catfish rods and a Pursuit III 4000 on my inshore rod and love them. They are the perfect blend of value and quality especially in a world where good inexpensive import brands exist. All the Penn quality at an agreeable price. They cast great, reel great, have good solid drag. Not too heavy like some other reels I've had. I just wish they made a 1000 size Pursuit for my ultra light gear!

Penn has always produced quality reels. this is no exception. The difference here is the price tag. while most quality reels cost well over $100, this delivers great performance at 1/2 that. It is a little heavier than other reels, but it is well made, smooth and powerful enough to land almost anything. More drag and line capacity than you'll ever need.There are smoother lighter reels available, but be prepared to pay $100-$200 more.Highly recommend for new anglers or someone who needs more than one setup.

My second Penn 5000. Bought one at a catfish show that was marked down from over $100 to about $60. Oh goofy me thought it was a great deal but later realized it was the usual Amazon price which is reasonable. The Penn has a smooth action and is dependable. I use the 5000 because I just might one day hook that big cat.

Great real love it

I'm giving this a 4 at this time for the 8000 size. Fat, heavy reel, even with the graphite casing, the 8000 is a beast . Did the research: best budget, easy to maintain, take apart, grease, wd40. Not overly protected for saltwater, and you can hear those bearings. But hey.., you get what you pay for. And this is best budget-budget. The drag adjustment is Sweet! Tons of adjustment.. Nice clicky! I bought this reel to mainly boat pitch, but still do inshore and pull big fish off a pier. Paired it with the Shimano Talvera 7' 30-65 lb. A roll of the Dorisea 40 lb braid at 328 yards is perfect. Then all you need is a swivel and some leader. Very stoked at this point. However, I would probably recommend the 6000 size before this. I think it's probably lighter and a better size for doing inshore and offshore. (more versatility) The 8000 is a pig. lol Hope that helps. (will update this)

Nice reel for the price

Got the item in a perfectly safe packaging and delivered as expected.

Great reel. Perfect for my 7' Berkley Lightning Rod. I've used it on the last two trips and the smoothness,, casting is superb. Despite not having anti-reverse which I tend to prefer, I bought a second one because it performed so well. Caught my largest walleye of the season so far on it last Tues.
