Rated 5 out of 5Â by LtRazor Won Snapper Tournament with this!
I purchased a 40LD last year and took it out bottom fishing. When I got on the boat, the deck hand made a comment about me busting that thing before the day was up. Bot did I surprise him! First I bring in a 28.4 lb snapper with no issues. At that point the deck hand wanted to try it out and was really impressed with how it handled. The reel is really smooth even under extreme pressure. By the end of the day, the hand and captain were talking about getting these for their boat. I now own a 60LD and can't wait to catch my first yellowfin tuna with this bad boy!

I bought this reel back in january and do a lot of fishing mostly fresh water I bought the 50 for catching giant blue and flathead catfish I paired it with a 10ft abu garcia workhorse that i have had for several years and it preformed flawlessly but I would expect nothing less from penn I caught everything from small 10lb cats up to a 72lb flathead and everything in between with this reel the bait click is soft enough to alert me to the softest bite and when your trying to pull a wiskered giant off the bottom the drag is powerful enough to really put pressure on them I also use them to snag for spoolbill in the spring time and have to be able to cast long distances I had never tried casting a lever drag and was very surprised at how easy it was and the distance is amamzing being able to throw a 2 to 3 oz sinker well over 100yds I am however having to buy a new one for the fact that mine was stolen overall this reel is an amazing buy for anyone who wants to go after big fish either in salt or freshwater

I have been using the 50 version of this reel now for a little over 4 months now. Spooled with 50lb test, with 100lb powerpro backing, this reel handles all I can thow at it here in Hawaii. Bought specifically for landing Giant Trevally. Using while sliding live bait, this beast of a reel handles. So far the largest brought up with it has been a 47lbs. The drag is smooth and strong, casting is no problem on a 12 ft rod with 8 oz lead. Excellent reel, highly recommend

The squall should be good, no clicking unless you turn the bait clicker on. Size 30 & 40 both should be great for casting big lures with 30# braid.Answers

I do not have one of these reels, however I have 4 other brands and that is not normal. Check the spool tensioner, maybe loosen that up a little and if it doesn't help you may have a problem with your drag. Have a pro shop check it out, may be a simple fix. Worst case Penn should cover under warranty.1 of 1
