Rated 5 out of 5Â by TxSalty05 Great Saltwater Reel
I purchased this reel for my wife to use for fishing with me in the bays. Prior to buying the reel, I read great reviews on the quality of the reel and its durability. I have to say, the reviews I read were spot on. The reel is built extremely well for saltwater use and the Penn quality you get when buying a Penn product is evident in the smooth casting and reeling. On our first use, we hooked up with a 27" trout and another large 31" redfish. The reel handled both fish with ease. The drag mechanism is simple to use and very efficient. This made it great to use when the redfish was on the line. I would suggest this reel to anyone and specifically the 3000 model for bay fishing. It is the perfect size for the bays.

Rated 4 out of 5Â by eric21 great reel for the money
Fishing this spring on Cape Cod, I had several sucessful outings with striped bass, catching numbers of fish from 18 to 35 lbs. It was a great start to the season ! Using the Fierce 5000 series on a 9 ft surfcasting rod loaded with 30 lb braid was a well balanced outfit. The drag was smooth and true which was important for these brutes, and it casted and reeled with no failures at this time. The only thing I didnt like although never proving a problem was the bail seems a little light for the reel. Despite this I feel you can't beat the price for the quality of this reel.

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

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

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.
