Great for the price
Works well for what it is only negative is the drag knob feels cheap but the reel was cheap so I guess thats to be expected
Excellent
Love the reel, holds a ton of line.
Good entry level wind reel
for 50 bucks these are hard to beat and vs the 400 reels i can't really tell the difference much.
Penn Rival is awesome.
The whole line of Penn Rival reels are awesome. Super reliable and smooth. Awesome casting distance.
Good Price
This is a well built reel. It is made for smaller line and a smaller amount of line. This is a great bargain for a quality reel.
Great reel
Have two of these for wreck fishing. For the price point they get the job done.
Cant go wrong!
good reel for the price
Honestly
I would go with the 3009m, 2009m, or 9m instead of these. When i asked to see one in a local store they seemed really chintzy, which suprises me from Penn. Maybe too much "Chinesium" in them or something.
Great Price for a Penn
Got two reels from Tackledirect.com but haven't used them yet. Spooled with lead core to troll lakes and Long Island Sound. Other reels I was looking at were twice the price and not made to fish saltwater. Will add to review after I fish the heck out of it.
Sweet buy
Great price on a great real. Was expecting to pay more but as usual Tackledirect exceeds my expectation.
Great price
This is another reel that I'm going to use on a sabiki pole. You can't beat the price.
Sturdy and Strong Reel
ever since I started fishing I have been using Penn reels and this is the latest addition to my bottom fishing armada, sturdy, strong, smooth drag and a very good handle to wrestle bottom dwellers..
Bad reel
Purchase 2 reels, Broke on first fish. Sent for repair, did the exact same thing. Didn't last 1 fish retrieveal of less than 20 pounds no less.
Yes the RIV30LW does have a clicker.
The Penn Rival can be used in either fresh or salt water.
<font><span>Hi Domingo, The Penn Rival Level Wind Reel in the 20 size does come built with a clicker. Please let us know if there is anything else we can assist you with! Tight lines!</span></font>
These are better suited for bottom-fishing.
The Penn Rival Level line reels have 15 pounds of drag.
We do not carry replacement spools for this reel. I would recommend contacting penn direct.
The Penn Rival Level Wind Reels are not made in the USA. They are made in China.
The 20LW would be an appropriate size for pairing it with a 7' conventional reel.
