Fishing flatline, dont want to break another rod with a big tuna
(read all my Q&A)
Answers
A:
I would go with a 6000 with 30lb braid.
A:
460 or one size bigger for the big ones.Details:
Im looking for a reel rod combo that I could use for both saltwater and freshwater. I was thinking about getting the 5000 so that way it is still sensitive enough that i could still feel the bass. Thank you for your help.Answers
A:
i have a 5000 on a ugly stick and have caught large lings, reds and even a salmon, i think its a bit large for bass, maybe try the 4000A:
Every Penn reel I own, is on an Ugly Stick. OUTSTANDING...and lethal(for the fish) combination!A:
I use the 2000 on a 7' ugly stick lite, medhvy action fo both salt water (flounder, stripper,) and for bass. Works great for both, just don't go tooooo big on saltwater species.Details:
I fish in the Indian River and the Banana River and I'm wodering what size would be the best for redfish and trout? I don't usually catch anything over 20 pounds, so I will be using 12, 14, or 17 pound monofilament. What is the best size for these lb tests? I will be putting it on a St. Croix Tidemaster Inshore Spinning Rod. Any help is, as always, appreciated. Thanks!!Answers
A:
Depending on the brand, stick with a 3000 series or a 4000. You'll see that number series in many of the top brands.A:
I use the 3000, and I think its the perfect size. However, I'd recommend using braid, for the extra pulling power, and lb-width ratio. I recommend the power pro braided spectra. If you want to use the mono, I'd say use the 4000
A:
The 5000 would work for your fishing.Answers
A:
Yes, but the reel does not lay line properly on the retrieve resulting in tangles/wind knots.Answers
A:
Baracuda's you don't have to worry about getting in the reef so you could be safe with almost any size. But if you're going to fish with braid and off reefs. Maybe after big Uluas and Some Jacks i'd go as big as you want. If your trying to stay on light tackle go with a 2000 and 15 lb braid for the reef.Details:
I've had bad experiences with cheaper reels... hoping this one will hold up to the big waves on the surfAnswers
A:
If greased and oiled properly and rinsed properly after each use, it shouldn't be much trouble. However, it isn't good for any reel to be completed dunked in salt water
A:
None of my other Penn reels have had any issues after getting dunked.Details:
Is the 4000 big enough for striped bass? Where I fish, the stripers rarely go over thirty pounds, with the average size being between six and fifteen pounds! Is the BTL 4000 big enough? I will probably be using mono in the 12 to 15 pound test, which is what I'm using now. I will probably go to braid. I find the 5000 really big, and it seems that it would be heavy at the end of a long days fishing!Answers
A:
yesA:
The 4000 has a big design flaw. If you plan to put braid on it. Flaw is that oscillation range. When casting out a few times with the reel and when you reel back in. There will be gaps in top and bottom of the spool. which causes windknots, on your next cast.The travel of the spool and the height of the spool. The travel was less than 3/4 the height of the spool's widest point. The travel was shorter than the bottom of the spool. Is which causes the spool to leave gaps.
I suggest getting the 5000. The 5000,6000,7000,8000 doesn't have this design flaw like the 4000.
