Thanks for the video. I just recently picked up a 9/0. Sent it to Penn for maintenance and to have it converted to a left hand reel. Can't wait to use it.
Salty Scales what rod do u have for the 9/0 just bought the reel but don't know what rod to get, want one that can be used for beach fishing for shark or to catch a Goliath grouper bottom fishing
What you think of the Offshore Angler SeaFire Conventional Saltwater Reel - Model SF9/0 2.55:1,for someone who wants to start? But I also looking into the Daiwa 6500,ill mostly do catfish,but wanna take it to Mexico aswell
Caught 19 finning swordfish on the 12.0 2 went more than 10 hours tried the 9.0 it just didn't get it done locked up after 3 hours using 80 pound dacron
very good thank you. Im thinking of getting a trolling reel for baja targeting sail fish and maybe tuna dorado ect...I was hoping to get away with using the 9/0 loading it with about 300 yards 100lb braid and the rest 70lb mono....any suggestions would be greatly appreciated ..thanks again. Obviously the price for the 12/0 is much more than for a 9/0 on ebay.
nice video brother. I am just starting to get into the Penn reels. and shark fishing from the beach. Kayaking bait out and dropping them. sound advice on a good shark rod from the beach I know nothing about the type of fishing rods can you point me in the right direction. fishing from the beach thank you.
You could cast it but it might be difficult. A penn squidder would be perfect for inshore casting. You should also check out the 1/0, 2/0, 3/0, and even 4/0 senators. They would be easier to cast. If you wanted the extra size and strength of the 9/0 I would get it and try to cast it. Worst case scenario you could put a float on it and let it drift to where you want it. Good luck 🤞🏻.
Lmao been thinking about using an excessively large sized reel for sturgeon Im using a spinning reel that holds 400 yds of 100lb test and got spooled by a huge sturgeon these suckers would be nice😂🤣 for those monsters that can’t be caught from shore😂

i have a left handed 12/0 senator if interested, pretty much brand new, doesn't even have line on it, has clamp and is in excellent working condition
tokay999 why selling?
How much are you selling it for ?
@@843Landbased Just saw this. I already sold it. But I think you can order them from Bass Pro - not sure of the price.
People mainly use these reels for large sharks off of the beach or piers. You can also use them for large game offshore.
Salty Scales what rod do u have for the 9/0 just bought the reel but don't know what rod to get, want one that can be used for beach fishing for shark or to catch a Goliath grouper bottom fishing
You can spool them with moi moi monofilament or dacron. I prefer braid and a top shot of mono. Typically 80 to 100lb braid.
Two great reels! I have use the 9/0 before but don't own one.
just going to say, my 9/0, about 500 yards of 60 lb mono, it absolutely smoked a 8 and a half foot bull shark
Hello, the 9/0 you can purchase for about $175.00 and you can purchase a 12/0 for $250 - 300.
That's the Pinnacle saltwater baitcasting reel. I have caught a ton of snapper on that combo.
Can you show how to mount the reel to the pole. Thanks
What you think of the
Offshore Angler SeaFire Conventional Saltwater Reel - Model SF9/0 2.55:1,for someone who wants to start?
But I also looking into the Daiwa 6500,ill mostly do catfish,but wanna take it to Mexico aswell
Hey on your 9/0 you have an additional support at the very top of the reel. What is that piece called?
Would you recommend 12/0 or 9/0 for Goliath. Fishing by boat but near some structure. Most Goliath in my area range from 100 - 300 pounds. Thanks
What did you end up going with? Looking at same options myself
Makaira or Avet 50 hands down!
If I was to fill a 9/0 with 80 lb braid and 100lb mono, what rod would you suggest, I have a lonely 30-50 rod that I believe will have to stay lonely
What type of fishing ?
Whats the biggest shark I can catch on Penn 9/0??
Whats a good budget rod for a Penn Senator 9/0?
Got that same shirt lol.. Just got a 12/0 yesterday. Looking for a rod to put under it..
+John Housey What did you end up getting? I'm still looking for a rod to pair to my 12/0..Looking into custom options now.
+licespray got a 9ft custom rod from up on Copans road a few miles north of me here..
Cheers. I can't find something to suit my 12/0 so am doing similar, but 8ft. :)
Caught 19 finning swordfish on the 12.0 2 went more than 10 hours tried the 9.0 it just didn't get it done locked up after 3 hours using 80 pound dacron
A 12 /ot holds 1200 yards 100 lb test we were using these in the 80 s
Were are the rodclamps??? from the 12/0 i mean.
thank you for taking the time...how is the drag on them both 25lbs ?
eli madr You're welcome, both are right around 24-26lbs.

Is the 12/0 the 116l?
Hello Eric, yes it is.
Yesss
What the rod you have on the 12/0
Could a 9/0 handle big Goliaths at the sky way
I've caught them before on a Penn Senator 9/0. You just don't have the drag like you do in Makaira
@@Saltyscales at the skyway? What lb test should I put on a 9/0
Very Helpful!!!
Really Appreciate it. 👍

Hey Jim,
Have you heard of Barret rods? they make rods just for beach shark fishing. Check them out when you have a moment.
Thanks Joshua. I sure appreciate you getting back with me. And I will definitely check them out. I can't thank you enough
You're welcome!
How much did the 12/0 cost?
What do you spool those large reels with?
What rod is on the 9/0?
Pedro Rodriguez co was wondering the same...
Can you cast the 9/0 (inshore)
You could cast it but it might be difficult. A penn squidder would be perfect for inshore casting. You should also check out the 1/0, 2/0, 3/0, and even 4/0 senators. They would be easier to cast. If you wanted the extra size and strength of the 9/0 I would get it and try to cast it. Worst case scenario you could put a float on it and let it drift to where you want it. Good luck 🤞🏻.
@DustinBaileyOutdoors I appreciate the response i just went with a battle 3 10,000 since I doubt I'll need more power on a 15 ft ugly stik
what would a 6\0 senator be good for, i fish the skyway?
A 6/0 on the pier is great for tarpon, sharks and smaller Goliath grouper.
thanks , thats what i needed it for
great review!
I appreciate that Johnny!
What is that rod on the 12/0
It's just a Penn Senator, you can get them at dick's or BP.
Thanks mate. Tight lines
how has that 9/0 worked out for you?
The Senators are great reels. Low gear ratio and very reliable.
diference 10/0 y 12/0?
The 12/0 is a 10/0 with wider spool.
Great vid 12/0 is monster about much fo they run.
Hello Joseph and thanks. You can purchase between $250-350.
I think I'm going with the 9/0 what kind of rods do you recommend for land based shark fishing
I personally love a custom Calstar, seeker or St. Croix. For land based you probably want to stick with a 7.5, 8 foot rod.
nice reels and im a fan of the U !!!
Thanks Doug!
Nice
