Rated 4 out of 5Â by Chockpish1 Great freshwater reel!
I have the 2000 size, that I use for broke trout fishing! I wanted a reel that could be used in freshwater as well as saltwater, because I fish a lot of brackish water. This reel has worked well for me, just had to get used to the high gear ratio, but other than that it's great! Holds plenty of line, small frame and all the power you need, maybe a little to much for the broke trout I fish for, but you never know when something big will bite you hook, so better be safe than sorry! The reason for four stars, will have to see how long it's going to last!

Penn had fallen out of favor with me for quite some time. Too much "plastic" to little metal. However I recently purchase a Penn Battle 5000 at the Bass Pro Shop in Foxboro MA because I picked one off the reel counter and gave it a few terns and was totally impressed. I tried it out on some bass (stripers) and blue fish...it performed flawlessly. I needed another reel for my son to use in Upstate NY for the fall salmon runs. Figured I give the Fierce a try. Handled king salmon to 25 pounds in some fast water with no problem. I used it in the surf for bass and it again performed well within my expectations. Great product...so far...longevity is the next test.

Penn Fierce 4000,
The Fierce in the 4000 size is an outstanding reel. I fish 2-4 times a week with this reel and it has preformed perfectly. Smooth drag under pressure of larger snook, jacks, sea trout and red fish. It is the least expensive in my arsenal and one of the best that I have. This reel compares favorably to my Penn Battle.
Buy it!!

I am going to be getting one of these reels for surf fishing with a 10 ft rod and i was wondering if the 8000 is too big for stripers and if it is what size should i get.Answers
A:Â
I have had a 120 pound tarpon on my 8000 penn fierce and it almost spooled me with 30lb mono. I think that a 5000-7000 would be a good size for stripers.A:Â
Go big or go home - If your using mono then you want the big reel for line capacity. Especially if your using anything over 20lb test. If you plan on using braid you can get away with a smaller reel which will be more lightweight.Answers
A:Â
Unless your using braid I would go for a little bit bigger reel like mane a 5000A:Â
Max drag is 10, should preform will with the Ugly Stik for surf fishing.Answers

No, the Battle was designed for salt water, spare spools are seldom provided for salt water reels. Buy one and you will not be disapointed.Answers
A:Â
its a feature in the reel that keep the rotor in its place and never move back .that helps for fighting big fish and in jigging fishing.A:Â

I am looking for a reasonably priced spinning reel that will be able to catch surface fish (kelp bass, calico bass). I also want it to be able to do some deep (150 to 300 feet) fishing for rock cod or California sculpin (so I don't have to change my rod and reel). Is this a good choice, and which model would suffice? 5000 or 6000?Answers
A:Â
Yes, for general ocean fishing I recommenda 4000 or 5000 size.
A:Â
I have a 5000 I use to catch smaller sharks. I usually fish flats so I have never tried using it that deep. I'd maybe go for the 6000 since your fishing so deep.Answers
A:Â
i also have a 6'6" ugly stik with the 4000 size.A:Â
For a medium heavy stick I would probably use either a Fierce 5000 or 6000. A 5000 will get the job done. I have a 4000 and you can fit up to 30 lbs braid, you really don't need more than that. The 7000 and 8000 are a lot bigger, definitely for the big fish so it would be a waste having that and not really using it to its potential.Details:Â
Starting to second guess my choice. wonder if the 5000 would have been way to go. No Bass Pro stores in my area, kind of a hassle to return.Answers

Used it today in RI surf for stripers. ... on my 9 foot surf rod. Performed well. See my review.Details:Â
If the Fierce has a sealed drag, what is the difference in the Fierce and the more expensive Sargus?Answers
A:Â
The Sargus was made as an affordable alternative to the Battle which is why they look alike. So the Sargus is a step down from the Battle, and the Fierce is a step down from the Sargus. But the Fierce is very well made. It is very affordable and has the all metal design just like the Sargus and higher scale Battle. If money is an issue do not feel bad getting a Fierce, it is great.A:Â
The Fierce does have a sealed, waterproof drag. I believe the sargus just has more bearings. If you step up to the Penn Battle, it has a Carbon drag which will be a lot smoother.
