Solid bigger reel
This reel is great, using it for surf/jetty/pier fishing in SoCal on 9’ rod. It is a little heavy though but that’s me just comparing it to the 3000 I have as well. Thank you penn for getting me the YFC and spotties!

Fierce IV 5000
Great spinning reel for the money.
I paired my 5K Fierce w a 9ft Prevail II for surf fishing. Catches everything. I love the power knob as well. I believe it's only available on the 5k and up models.

New Gen Penn reel
I've owned a 430ss reel for over 20 years and it's never let me down. I could only think the Fierce IV is up to the task! 👍

Fierce ii 8000 did it again
The Fierce and made in USA 4/0 senator reels are my go to reels for catching pelagic fish in Hawaii off my kayak. Caught this 41.2lb yellowfin tuna (Shibi) with the Fierce 8000 reel. Fought fish for about 45 minutes and the reel performed excellent! Thanks PENN

Casting and line weight
It doesn't handle the heavier weight line very well
