I am looking for a new reel for tailwater striper fishing. It will be replacing a 3000 series Sahara. The Shimano is a comfortable size for casting artificials, so I don't want to get too far away from it.Do the 3000 and 4000 Sargus share the same body with different spools/rotors or are they completely different? How would either compare with the Sahara with regard to size.
Thanks in advance.

Answers
A:
The 3000 and 4000 share a few parts. The body style is a little deference. ThanksAnswers
A:
HiI have a Penn Sargus 4000 but I would expect both systems to be more or less the same.
You should check the "clicker" which is on the inside of you spool. That part should be in place as well as the spring.
I´m attaching a couple of pictures so you can identify the part.
Hope this helps
Cheers

This will be kind of my heavy duty inshore setup and it will be paired with a st. croix mojo inshore rod. which would work better snook, redfish, and jack crevelle?Answers

My reel feels like the handle is screwed down too tight and is locked against the reel body. If I back off pressure on the handle I can turn the reel by turning the spool. But if I try to reel using the handle the reel locks up.Any ideas
Answers
A:
Try rinseing it with soap and water and then oiling if needed.
A:
Take the reel apart and look for any loose screws. After tightening or not finding any, completely and very, very well clean your reel and re grease and lube the bearings, and see what that does for youDetails:
On my 3000, about 1 out of every 15 casts my bail will not return the handle stickes. I must manualy return the bail then I am able to turn the handle to retrive the line.Answers

A:
You've probably noticed, but on all spinning reels, the handle turns about half way around before it hits a switch inside the reel that flips back the bail. So when the bail is flipped, then you start to reel, the handle will reel just about halfway around, then the bail flips. This half turn gives you the momentum to easily move the switch that flips the bail. Therefor, if the handle spins slowly to this point (during the cast probably) and you start to reel it will be very dificult to reel so it flips the bail. This may seem complicated, but if it is the problem, you should be able to flip the bail by reeling harder. This was difficult to explain, but its actually very simple so I hope it helps.A:
Clean reel everytime you use it, Spray with Reel MajicA:
Ive always been taught to manually return the bail every time. This reduces line twists and prevents wind knots. Also after each cast and returning the bail, I also make sure the line is on the roller before I start to retrieve. just habit now.

A:
I would not worry about it...best to flip bail back by hand anyway to keep line from kinking on spool...also after filpping the bail closed by hand give a light tug on the line away from the reel. Even if you don't use braided line this is a good practice!Details:
I am looking at purchasing a penn sargus reel. I would like to know whether I should get the 5000 or if that is too big or too small. Looking at about 50-150 lb tarpon. Also, what pound power pro should I use? ThanksAnswers
A:
Go with at least the 6000. It's a light reel that will balance with a quality rod.A:
5000 seems OK although you may opt for the increased line capacity of a bigger reel. If you step up to a 7000 or 8000 you get 25lbs max drag. You should decide what pound test you plan on fishing before you choose. Also consider the 5000/6000 have a 20lb max drag.A:
DON'T BUY THIS REEL FOR TARPON. My experience has been very bad. Gears grind, handles brake, handles bend, bails bolts fall out. Go with a Fin-Nor Sportfisher or a Shimano Spheros if your looking for a reel that works very reliably and looks great.

A:
PROBABLY TOO SMALL, use AT LEAST 20 LB POWER PRO WITH 30LB FLOROCARBON LEADER. uNLESS YOU JUST HAVE TO HAVE ONE, i'D GET ANOTHER TYPE REEL UNTIL pENN WORKS SOME OF THE BUGS OUT OF THE sARGUS...THE ONE i BOUGHT ISN'T SATISFACTORY AT ALL...Try a Pflueger Metalist, or for more $ a Penn Slammer, or Simano anything 500-600 size.A:
if you want a great fight and a challege use 20 lbs power pro with 80 pound leader so they cant fray threw and use an extra long tag end on the tie cause the big ones will untie you if you dontAnswers
A:
Both the 5000 and 6000 are 20lb max. the 7000 and 8000 are 25lb max.

Not sure of your question...never heard of a # rating on a reel's drag.A:
yesAnswers
A:
Yes, I own a 2000 and a 3000. I love my 2000 for flounder and sheepshead in the creeks of SC.

A:
It's an excellent reel for inshore fishing. I use the 3000 on an ugly stik lite inshore spinning rod. It's the perfect match. The 2000 will work, but I wanted the extra line capacity incase I hooked a big redfish. Getting spooled can be expensive when you use super braid.A:
I would go with the 4000. I use 10-12lb line on the 4000 and plug for spanish. It is 12.6 ounces and isnt too heavy at all. Not sure how light you want it to be though. I would go with the 3000 at a minimum.Details:
The drag cliks when pulled on lower settings but stops at tighter settings and line freely pulls off with very little tension even when tightened down all the way.Answers

A:
You probably just have too much grease on the Drag Discs... Mabe they put too much on at the factory.Take the discs out and check... clean if need be, then replace and most likely that's your problem.

A:
Good question, suggest a different Penn reel until the Sargus' problems are worked out.A:
you have to tight your drag also when fishing your drag needed to be slack. and when casting out make sure your drag is tight after finish loose your drag so if you caught a fish it won't take your rob away.Details:
