Hi, can someone here give an educated guess on the 6500 model? I'm looking forward to went fishing for cod and halibut in the north of norway in a few weeks, and i need a reel with capabilities to fish pelargic in very deep depths AND also trolling shallow under the surface and in all depths in mid-water. In other words, I'm looking for a durable allrounder for sea fishing.. recommendations? thx
Just re-watching some of these old vids. You use the pro-spec braid on everything? Fluorocarbon leaders and FG knots? I just got myself a 4500 vi live liner for the yak and I want to use 20lb line… or should I go 30? I fish around a lot of reef down here in the Naki so presuming the 30lb would be more abrasion resistant…
I've got pro spec on all my reels except my game reel as I needed 80lb braid for that. What sort of fishing do you do? If you're softbaiting or slow jigging, 20lb braid should be fine, but if you're concerned about being busted off, then 30lb could be a good option. I always run 30lb because I always fish over rocky foul when softbaiting.
@@gpfishingadventures7834 sweet cheers for that. I mainly bait fish in and around reef structures so 30lb May be my best option. Just got a new peen 4500 LL so keen to use braid on it. I do softbaiting only when I’m up in Coro, have 20lb on my setup for that and seems to go ok 👍 Cheers for the Intel
Just ordered a Penn slammer 3 8500 and I am going to use it for livebait img for kingfish when livebaiting when you said the lowest drag setting is higher then the slammer 4 can you just leave the bailarm open or should it be alright if you use smaller livebaits
Nice man! You could leave the bail arm open, but the live bait will run off with your line. There are devices you can buy to clip onto you rod and hold your line while the bail arm is open. Not sure what they're called but might be worth a Google! Milan from The Lateral Line uses them.
What you think of the Piscifun® Salis X Trolling Reel Conventional Level Wind Reel for a first reel,37lbs drag,ill use it for catfish but take it down to Mexico for Saltwater fishing,I was thinking of the bg 6500,but idk the conventional gets my attention more
@@gpfishingadventures7834 Bass and Pollock in saltwater when spinning. Bass are great sport,in Ireland they're a saltwater species. There's also a lot of other saltwater fish which we fish for using bait on the bottom, thornback ray, stingrays, bullhuss, dogfish, spurdog,smoothound,tope and many more 👍
Choice video Greg, I was lucky enough to get my mits on these a few months ago (to look at). Really like the 2500 size being added to the line up. Having fished the Slammer III 3500 and 6500 for a while I have no doubt that these will continue to be a hit and take a punishing on the yak like they're known to handle. If you need your reels spooled flick me a message and I'll open up the shop 🤙🏽
Yeah the 2500 has definitely been a popular new model in the range. I was thinking about getting that size but ended up sticking with 3500 as I wanted dura drag. Thanks for the offer to spool em but have already done this today 🤙🏽
They come stock with a Penn Ocean Assassin rod, which are solid. But personally I go with Ugly Stik Black Tiger or Gold rods 10-15kg range. They are indestructible.
I need a Shore Jigging Reel for my Majorcraft Solpara 1002H rod 60-100g. What reel would be better between Slammer 3, Slammer 4, BG MQ, Saltist LTD or Saragosa SW-A? And what size? I would put at least 300m of 40lbs PE3 Braid.
Out of those reels, I've only used the Slammer 3 and Slammer 4. I've also used the Daiwa BG16 which is somewhat similar to the MQ. Are you sure you need 300m of line? What species are you targeting? If you're casting 60-100 gram size jigs, I would recommend going for a 5500 size - Slammer 3 or 4 in this size would suit. The 5500 maxes out at 300m of 40lb braid, but I wouldn't recommend filling the reel that full. Put 200-250m on. If you definitely need the 300+m of line capacity, you'll need to go up reel size, but that will come with the tradeoff of extra weight, which is not ideal while jigging.

How much is the price of Ben Spinfisher Vl8500 and is there shipping to Saudi Arabia
Gz on the sponsor, they look pretty nice.
Certainly a good looking reel, that's for sure 👍🏽
g'day, what are the two small plastic washers used for?
Hey mate, they can be used to raise or lower the spool. It helps ensure the line is being spread evenly over the spool when retrieved.
Oh man im so jealous penn is by far my favorite brand and they're so good for on the kayak

Got no idea sorry mate!
Spinning set ups are way more versatile.
Buying one for surf fishing in Ireland... they're what I need, great review thanks 👍
Thanks! What sort of species do you target in Ireland?

Awesome Mate! spread the word about great fishing gear.
Thanks Jason! Maybe I'll do some more of these in the future 👍🏽
hello, one question, there are some penn slamer iv in alie express at a good price, they are original
I'm not sure if they are genuine sorry.
I have the slammer 3 4500 and I’m looking for this in the 3500 model
I've been using the 3500 the last month or so. It's been fantastic
@@gpfishingadventures7834 Pure Workhorse of a reel !!!
Nice solid reels bro 👍 Penn all day
How many yards/metres braid did you get on both your reels?
Hey! I got 150m of 30lb Berkley Prospec on the 3500 (with space to spare) and 300m of 50lb on the 6500 (close to capacity). Cheers
How are you pairing that 6500 ? Don’t know what rod to use
They come stock with a Penn Ocean Assassin rod, which are solid. But personally I go with Ugly Stik Black Tiger or Gold rods 10-15kg range. They are indestructible.
Подскажите сколько плетёнки(PE 4-5)входит на шпулю 6500 ?
The reel doesn't include line, but the stats can be found online for how much line can be spooled on the reel 🤙🏽 cheers
Thank for sharing bro..
Good job👍
Thanks very much

@@gpfishingadventures7834 i love penn produck.. thx
far out that braid diameter is thin as! you got urself some awesome toys haha
Yeah it's really nice to cast too. Noticed the difference big time when I first used it.
@@gpfishingadventures7834 could get it with a surfcasting set haha
@@BasicFishingNZ I reckon it'd go well for surfcasting! What lb braid do you usually run on your surfcasters?
@@gpfishingadventures7834 30lb - 50lb. 50lb is wen i'm in rough areas that needs that extra strength and 30lb is in sandy clear bottoms with no foul
@@BasicFishingNZ Yeah I was thinking that range too. Good to know 👍🏽
Nice Videos Bro..

Maybe I should do a giveaway...
could not understand a word he was saying
Take it you're not a kiwi then 😂
