I had wanted a good reel for a while and organy bought this cheap ont that only lated a year. After this reel broke i bouthr the Penn 650 ssm metal reel and literly the first day i bought it it proved itself. I caought around 15-20 10 pd bluefish and it worked execellent. now i want a nice 50 pd striper to see how the reel will handle. Overall I WOULD DEFINETLY RECCOMEND THIS REEL FOR ANY SERIOUS FISHERMAN.!!!!

Rated 5 out of 5Â by seadog902 950 WHAT A GREAT REEL
I USED MY 950 AT THE SKYWAY PIER TO FISH FOR GROUPER TALK ABOUT PUTTING A STOP TO THIER FLIGHT . RARELY DO I LET OFF ON THE DRAG WHEN I FISH FOR GROUPER . BECAUSE ONCE THEY HIT YOU KNOW THAT THE FIRST THING THE GROUPER IS GOING TO DO IS HEAD FOR THE ROCKS OR ANYWHERE THAT HE CAN GET THE LINE TO BREAK. WELL THIS WEEKEND WAS NO EXCEPTION THE GROUPERS WHERE BITING AND I WAS CATCHING. AFTER AWHILE THE BITE SLOWED DOWN A BIT SO I DECIDED TO SIT DOWN AND TALK TO MY WIFE, WELL NEXT THING WE KNOW THE REEL STARTED SCREAMING LIKE A BANSHEE. THE FISH GOT PLENTY OF LINE OFF THE SPOOL IN FACT I WAS AFRAID I WAS GOING TO GET SPOOLED OUT. WELL I TIGHTEN DOWN ON THE DRAG SOME MORE AND FOUGHT MY FISH TO MY AMUSEMENT THE FISH THAT WAS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE LINE HAPPENED TO BE A SUPER TARPON . I'M PROUD TO SAY THAT MY PENN 950 ACTED FLAWLESSLY AND IF IT WASN'T THAT THE LEADER ITSELF BROKE THAT TARPON WOULD HAVE BEEN IN MY PICTURE BOOK.
BOY I WISH THEY MADE LEADERS THE WAY MY PENN IS MADE. HA HA

I've purchased the reel 850ssm several days ago and paired it with a customized 14ft fiberglass rod for fishing at the dam and it's AWESOME. Very smooth and the drag is powerful. One thing I love about this reel is the straight handle retrieval it feature because it makes it real easy to retrieve your line and you can also get bigger ratio. I recommend the 850ssm over the 750ssm, they have the same body except the spool on the 850ssm is bigger.

Why are drags on Penn 750SS capable of handling 20+ lb line listed as having only 11 lbs of drag, where comparable Shimano's have 3 times the drag. Is it a difference in the way it is measured?If not, this is not the reel to pull big fish out of structure.
Thanks
(read all my Q&A)
Answers
A:Â
the penn 750 ss is a great reel its been proven to pull in over hundred lbs fish if you need a drag thats more then twenty you dont need to fish lol i have caught 55 lb tuna with this reel and with the drag only set on 8 and there fast swimmers but i would recamend 20 lb line that real is designed for 50 braidDetails:Â
The description of this reel states it has the HT-100 drag but all the images show Penn Power Drag logo on the spool, (which is not nearly as smooth)Can anyone confirm this?
In my mind this is a deal breaker. The Battle and Conquer that the guides I know use have held up well and I can personally attest to the quality of the HT-100 drag. Penn Power drag is not nearly as smooth.
Is this a misprint? If so it should be changed ASAP.

I want to purchase this reel to pair with a 10 ft rod for surf fishing (Trout and reds mostly) Should I go with the 750 or 850. I don't want to buy the wrong size and wind up getting both. I would trust the 750 but I want to be able to handle anything the surf throws at me... What are the disadvantages of having a reel that is too big for a normal day of fishing for me? Thanks!Answers
A:Â
go 750 if youre using braid....I have the 850 and can fit 300 yards of 50lb braid AFTER backing 1/2 the spool with 50lb mono...The 850 is heavey and can be tiring to cast over and over again...personally though, I would look elsewhere if you are going to be casting any heavy gear....lots of problems with bail closures/breakoffs during the cast..
A:Â
I really like the 750 from trout to kings to cobia. I think it will be plenty big enough.A:Â
750 and 850 are alomost the same reel. 850 have a larger capacity spool. I would get the 850 and load 30-60 lb braid line. Anything bigger than 60 I would get a conventional style reel.Details:Â
I have two 750SSm reels on 10ft surf rods and have been pleased. I need two more reels for similar set-up (maybe 11ft rods). Is there any reason that I should consider the Slammer? American made is a plus. Where are they made?Answers
A:Â
I would get 12'-20' surf rods, with 950ssm reel up to 14' rod. Anything longer I would use a conventional reel.A:Â
get the slammer its a lot better but not to sure where they are made.Details:Â
Can the 650 handle 20-30 pound stripers? And what line and rod would you use with it?Answers
A:Â
omg yeah my brother has this reel and has had it for 3 years and he catches an averadge of about 60 of them a year he also uses it for tuna trips use it with a 9 ftr with 50 lb power pro trust me dude this reel is the real deal lol hold lots of line toDetails:Â
Can the Penn 750ssm handle King mackeral, Mahi, and medium size sharks (4-7 ft)???Answers
A:Â
Oh yeah definatly I have the 650 and I catch 200-400# hammerheads and tigers easily off of oil rigs.A:Â
Yes, I own two 750's and I have caught a few Mac's and some mahi's without any problems. I haven't been shark fishing, so I can't answer for that one.A:Â
go with the 850... same cranking power with higher line capacityA:Â
it can horse those fish in like nothing.Answers
A:Â
I use 15lb mono for kings and 25 for Big Cobia So I think I would go with 15-25 lb test just for long runs and line capacity.Q:Â

Yes, the handles on the Spinfisher SS model reels are interchangeable for both right-handed and left-handed retrieves. It is a very quiet reel.1 of 1
