Lighter, smaller reel for constant casting
June 27, 2022
Smaller reel I use for casting lures over and over again. Paired with a 10' 6" rod, the combo works great on stripers and bluefish. Drag works OK. I would not use for chunking bait or for anything bigger.
Pros
- Light-weight, easy to use & control.
Cons
- Smallish.

Great job Penn
June 3, 2022
Love the battles from Penn. Bought 2 battle 2 in 2016 and they are still amazing. Letting my son use them now that he’s old enough. Decided to upgrade to a battle 3. Took out for the first time a week ago and it did not disappoint. Caught me some strippers! Keep up the good work Penn!

Great inshore reels
May 19, 2022
I have two of these reels, a 3000 and 4000. This reel is an excellent inshore reel. It can handle flounder in the back and out front, weakfish, striper and tog (if using a tog jig on a spinning rod). Nice and robust and not as heavy as some other Penn reels. The 3000 is paired with a 7foot st.croix triumph medium power fast action, and the 4000 is on a older 7foot medium heavy star stellar lite nickelite rod. Two things that are not great is that the smaller models do not come with a power handle like the dx version does. That being said, it is a pain to put an after market knob on it i.e. Gomexus. The paddle handles are riveted, so in order to change to a knob you have to drill out the paddle and bore out the handle to accept the new knob. Second thing is in cold weather the anti-reverse clutch has a tendency to slip, the absolute worst thing you want to have happen when setting the hook on a white chin while jigging in December.
Pros
- Nice robust reel with plenty of power.
Cons
- No power knob, and to replace the paddle with one is a choir.
- Anti-reverse clutch slips in cold weather.

Very good reel. Not as smooth out of the box as my Daiwa BG reels but a solid product. I like the 6.2:1, It's a fast retrieve.

Great reel!

A salesperson helped me pick this reel to go with a St Croix Seage Surf spinning rod. It was a great combo and I used it to land several big fish on a trip to Belize.

Better than the Battle II
February 27, 2022
Bought this reel for jigging Cod and other game fish. Much better build than the II in my opinion.
Pros
- Strong and smooth operation. Holds enough braid and has enough drag to fight some serious game fish.
