Light, but not for big fish

this is a really interesting reel. super light weight, but i found that the stem of the foot flexed under load. i had a keeper size striper on and i was honestly worried that i was going to snap it. i couldnt believe how much it flexed.

it really does cast super far and the handle/knob is very comfortable. i really wanted to like this reel, especially since i am a penn read more fanboy. but i felt like i couldnt trust it, ended up selling it.

i really think it would be better for reef fishing or pompano type fish from the beach

I purchased the 8000LC model and tested it out for 5 hours straight. Worked it hard. Made hundreds of casting. I was totally impressed with its performance. It gave me more casting distance and a faster retrieve. Graring powerful and strong. The size of the reel has a lighter frame which was another plus. For the price of this reel wont cost you an arm as other brands. Totally read more worth the $250. Will be purchasing more of this reel. Good job Penn!

Awesome reel, I love it. I have put it through its paces so far this season on the east end of long island. From the ocean surf, back bay beaches, docks, jetties and bulk heads. Ive caught everything from stripers to porgeys. My casting distance has improved and line lay is perfect everytime, even when pencil popping. Only one wind knot so far and thats cause I over spooled it and read more havent had a problem since. The Drag is great, smooth and strong but no surprises there, its a penn drag. The reel itself is also very smooth. I feel like theres no fish out of distance when paired to either of my rockaway surf rods. I am very happy with my purchase and recommend to everyone.

Asked by Galen R. 5 years ago

In the photos of the reel, it looks like there is an anti-reverse on/off switch on the base of the reel below the stem, is that the case, or is that just an oddly angled photo? 

Rebecca Redington 5 years ago

No there is no switch.
