PENN Pursuit IV Spinning Fishing Reel

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.

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!

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.

Pier and dock reel look no more. Excellent handle feel and fighting length handle, lightweight body, large spool at 3000 size. Solid nylon reel for dinner plate fish! if it’s not touching sand or getting dunked, git er done.

I purchased the 4000, it balanced well with an 8' medium/heavy spinning rod. I have used it in Salt 4-5 times for shore fishing halibut, lingcod and rockfish. It has performed very well and I am satisfied. After my last trip I broke it down and serviced it. Easy, straight forward procedure. It's a good reel for the money.HOWEVERmy buddy bought the exact same reel at the same time I did. We went shark/ ray fishing in Tomales Bay. I had a beefier rig that day with a 6000 class reel which was plenty.My friend hooked into a Bat Ray with his brand new 4000. He could not get the fish to turn. It ended up stripping the main and pinion gears and totally destroyed his reel. Here in NorCal, we call Bat Rays "Mud Marlin" because of their pure brute strength. This reel size is just fine for most inshore SW fish. But don't go after the big brutes with a small reel.

Great price. Great quality and very smooth. Just love it. Highly recommended
