Thank you, Tackle Advisors! Not just for this video, but all of them. I know it must take forever to film every single one. I’ve used and had great appreciation for high quality tackle for years now, but I’ve never been one to get into the inside of a reel. You’ve helped give me more of an appreciation for gear I do use.
Adding Penn to the shopping list...great job once again, I recall the shade you threw on Penn over the years (for good reason), glad to see they got their act together and really shows you go wherever the evidence leads you when it comes to gear.
My first TH-cam feedback, great intro and thanks for your help and testing time. Just retired and have some medical issues and hope to get back into fishing after this winter.
Love the detailed info. And I understand when u get side tracked on another topic that you're passionate about. Always look at your reviews before I buy a reel.
Nice review. It was very thorough and in depth. I always check your channel first before I buy a reel. Penn reels have definitely improved over the past few years. May have to pick up this reel or the Slammer III.
im a softbaiter thru and thru. love my sol III lt 4000 but ive just added this to my shopping cart, straylining is prettty awesome thing to do while you fish your mainline... thanks for making this decision that much easier mate, i love your channel.
Great honest review as always. Plan on getting myself the VI 2500 for my inshore kayak fishing down here in Georgia. Also, enjoy your collaboration with J&H and EliasFishing....no nonsense knowledge y’all pass on with some humor in there. Keep it up! And thanks!
Thanks man! That'll be a perfect reel...The 4500 was a bit heavy in elias's opinion for what he was using it for. It's really cool how you saltwater yakkers can get away with lighte gear since you pull yourself to the fish as much as they pull you :)
Great review as always. These are so relaxing. Kind of like the Bob Ross of reel reviews. And over here, we have a happy little drag next to a happy little seal. Great stuff!
Thank You for the Great review. I have been using cheap spinning reels for some time. Last year, I started getting some better rods. I have been looking at Penn reels and never seen such an honest review as yours. I have only used spinning reels and am now looking at maybe going to bait caster. But I am 61, so I am trying to teach this old dog new tricks. I fish mostly freshwater, but I am buying a new kayak in the spring, that is made to go in shore and I am looking forward to salt water fishing. Thanks again.
Hey Ron! Thaks!!! I've battled shills and pro staff member for years on the forums and carry it over to the Yoootooobs! 61 and in a kayak is where I hope to be! It beats the hell outta trolling for trout lolol. Best of luck to ya on the next chapter......Being a saltwater googan :)
As usual very in depth review btw I have a Daiwa BG your breakdown service review was a great although you went further on your breakdown than I needed but I got the enough to get the job done. I was thinking of getting the new Spinfisher VI because not used to using longcast designs
I am not a Penn fan, but after this honest and very detailed review, I thing this reel it's gonna be my next Christmas present for myself. Thanks again Tackle Advisors! Pura vida!
@@TackleAdvisors my father in law had Penn Battle, Penn Fierce, Penn Clash and he always talked the old ones made in the US, the 30 or 40 years old Penn were the blast, not the new ones. But this for $200 box it's a very completed reel. Here in my country Costa Rica you have to pay double for Fishing Tackle, so it's very good that some stores have international shipping service, and that's the only way to get one of this reels on a good price. As always, great video amigo. Pura vida!
Great reel! Been fishing the 2500 Spinfisher VI for a few weeks now inshore and offshore and it’s handled plenty of snook, and jacks with ease aswell as light tackle Bonita offshore. Extremely happy with it!
Also if you don’t like the handle the spinfisher VI comes with, the slammer 3 ball handles are a direct match for the 3500 size and up. I saw somebody that had them on all his spinfisher VI’s and said they screwed in perfectly. If you wanted to go that route.
@@tristanterorotua4232 Tossing up the 2500 with the 3500 ~ fishing mostly inshore (occasional freshwater missions for small stuff). Any complaints on how the 2500 handled with those bonitos or any slightly larger stuff offshore? Seems a weighty reel so tentative to step up to 3500 if not needed. Cheers!
Well, your enthusiasm for the SSVI motivated me to pick one up (after years of considering them junk).... now we need a full teardown video so I could maintain it.
Tackle Advisors thanks for everything you do. Made me realize that the Spinfisher is just bit lighter than the bg or my pursuit III, but still a brick. I am going to change my reel to a fuego lt now, instant 8oz weight savings 🤯 . Can´t beat daiwa these days.
I was thinking Penn Slammer when I started watching but now I am looking hard at the Daiwa for my 11 foot Loomis 1-5 oz.. I love how even your side track discussions are as informative as the main event..😂. Keep up the good work. Will certainly buy through your links.
Hey samak....Thanks brotha!!!!! That daiwa has been proving itself a winner over the past few nights....I built a 13' stick dual purpose and tested the spacing with a tranx 500 and the ballistic lt....yup....I dig it on a 13 footer....I have been using it on a 11' tournament ballistic (can throw an unloaded redfin up to 5 ounces and a bunker head and weighs less than the 10'6 3.4 - 4oz legend. and don't think I'll be taking it off or even fishing my other rods until the new SH!#$@$ rods come out. Which are going to disrupt the surf rod market. Might be selling off half a dozen tiralejos. (And to think....I just bought them on a whim since they were cheap and I needed a long range rod that is easier to load) Never thought they'd be daily driver material....
Exceptional review! Very detailed..... Can you do a video comparing the new Spinfisher VI to the older Spinfisher V? Naming all the differences and upgrades made to the new Spinfisher VI.
Always been a fan of the Spinfisher reels. It looks like they did an awesome job with the upgrades in the new Spinfisher VI series from the Spinfisher V.
Excellent video. I don't launch from the beach, mostly inshore in Texas, and have had serious reel issues. I really didn't know much about reels at first, but I learned quickly as mine kept dying. One - bait casters in a saltwater bay on a yak is just asking for trouble, period. Fishing mostly paddle tails on 1/8th oz. jig heads for slot reds, there's nothing you can't do with a 2500 sized spinning reel. This is where I start to get worried about a reel like the Spinfisher VI. It weighs 72.5% more than the most comfortable reel I fish, a Tatula LT, and yes, I bought it before I found your videos (which I just can't stop watching). So, how did I go from breaking reels to using a basically freshwater spinner? I just learned how to take better care of my reels. I run a forward mounted rod holder so that I never have to put my rods on the floor of the yak where they would often get some non-incidental saltwater baths. I keep my spare rods behind me in rod holders on my milk crate rather than on my side mounted rod holders where they can get splashed. I have probably 15 to 20 trips and a few hundred pounds of redfish on the Tatula, and it shows no signs of being worse for the effort. So, for how Elias is fishing, the spin fisher seems like a good bet, but for constantly jigging and paddling, a light freshwater spinner that is well managed for inshore stuff where you aren't trolling for king mackerel or running live/dead bait for bull reds, will keep you fresh quite a bit longer. On the yak, and when seated, your arm position is quite a bit less ideal than from the river bank or on a boat. It's more like surf fishing waist deep. Your hands are right below chest height, and a light setup is very valuable. So, ya, there are varieties of kayak fishing, and I can totally see that this Spinfisher would be great for wet situations where you weren't doing a ton of jigging, but the way I fish, I want to stay light. Anyway, great channel, I've been watching while I have rebuilt roughly 30 reels while recovering from a back injury. Keep it up, I may do some of these myself. Taking my very early Calais 200 from stuck and corroded to working with Bantam1 to get some very rare parts and having it run so that it is noticeably more smooth than my new Curado DC is my best effort so far.
You bring up great points. And it's something I considered when sending him reels. He's been fishing a fuego lt and it died (i have it in a box unopened as of yet...and it lasted I belive 5 months which is pretty good...I sent him a smaller exceler to see if we could push the limits and it died in a week lmao. But it did catch some sweet fish. It's good to see the non sealed version of the ballistic is still going strong..one of the things I did to the exceler as part of an experiment was grease the snot out of all the entry points to see if it lasted longer than the fuego with mag seal......Too bad it couldn't hold up to the fish....I'm ccurious as to how it died. They have a bit more flex in the stem than the tatula and ballistic. But the frames seem to keep everything where it needs to be. Please do! TH-cam needs more people who know the gear inside and out talking about it. Good luck with the back.
Cant wait to get the reel and try it for myself in the right season. Thank you for your review. Ive been following all your review about SSV. I love the look on it!
I don't get to fish saltwater much. I caught a striper in Martinez Bay in Cali a week ago on my new slammer 3500. Looking for a long cast reel now for surf or bank fishing. Thinking of the spinfisher 5500...? I respect the energies you put into these reviews. Great work, and thanks for the laughs.
I just watched an hour qbout a reel i probally wont buy since i have no ocean or similar even near. Information is key so no harm done. Really do enjoy your videos, very informative and homest as far as i can tell. Cheers
Thanks Calli..I've battled shills and undisclosed pro staffers on forums for years.....It's shocking how nobody nowadays can tell the friggin truth about a mass produced widget in a cardboard box lol......
After watching all of Elias V fishing's videos killing reds and your comprehensive break down I think I'm pretty much sold. I think the live line version would be perfect for someone like me who does a lot of shore based live bait fishing. Thank you for these very detailed reviews.
Definitely on my radar for future purchases thanks to you. This channel is way more informative than others and respectful. Guy's an ass from THE REEL whatever ch.
Great content in your videos! Kinda want a Vi now but I have many spinners. I should expand my conventional arsenal...A Kyogha would be an awesome start!!
Very nice, great for the money. Nice to see at least someone listened and then implemented changes. Nice giveaway as well, should be a great reel for the longterm.
Wow! That review was in-depth! Enjoyed it. No problem with going a bit sidetrack hehe. Just makes us a bit rich on General Knowledge. :) Thank you for the awesome review.
Great review. I really appreciate your attention to detail. Maybe it's just me, but I don't see the Daiwa BG on your Amazon store front. I have the 4500 already and am looking to get the 2500 soon. Thanks again!
Keep an eye on the anti-reverse bearing in saltwater. I have one. Love it. Was the smoothest reel I ever fished with, until I took it on my kayak in the sea. That anti-reverse bearing died very quickly. To replace it costs nearly half of what the reel cost me. I take care of my gear. I rinse everything off with freshwater after use, service my reels regularly, especially the ones I use on my kayak, but I was blown away at how fast that anti-reverse bearing got killed
Sir, You have really made my day as what I will buy to to send to my family in the Philippines, (Dumaguete) for there Christmas this year as fishing is a source of there income and diet as well. Thank you so much for your "NO NONSENSE" and truthful info and guidance. Tom Leonard, of Augusta Kansas.
way to send the reel to the biggest spot burning Googan ever.
The only Kayak Fisherman who carries a fire extinguisher!
Just preparation H I hand out to all the butt hurt fisherman
That's what that smell was lmao
Lmao
Do you really think we will see these selling for $99?@@TackleAdvisors

Thanks for all your videos, looking forward to many more!! You're the only channel I watch videos from start to end
Really appreciate your honest & unbiased review for fishing tackle. Keep up the great work Tackle Advisors!
It's nice to see some quality from Penn again. Thanks for the give away,nice to see good quality videos also
My first TH-cam feedback, great intro and thanks for your help and testing time. Just retired and have some medical issues and hope to get back into fishing after this winter.
Hey Charles! Congrats on the retirement! I wish you the best on all your future adventures in your next chapter! Tight lines and thank you!

Can’t thank you enough for your unbiased and detailed analysis. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for your suggestion in the previous video, already bought 5500 version for offshore, mostly jigging! more power to you sir!
Great detail review as always! I got the 4500 two weeks ago and so far no complaints!
Great review as always. These are so relaxing. Kind of like the Bob Ross of reel reviews. And over here, we have a happy little drag next to a happy little seal. Great stuff!
Wow!!! Thank you for that in depth review!!! The reel is a little above my price range, but I am now considering it.
Excited to see the video! Been very interested in the new spinfisher as new main reel. Old Penn battle is a little worn out. Premiere Reminder set!
Thanks a lot, your review really helped me make up my mind which one to get. Looking forward getting my first liveliner.
Keep up the great videos!
Excellent video as usual. I picked up a kyogha through your link a couple weeks ago, what a great piece of equipment!
My favorite review/gear channel.
Keep up the good WORK!!!!

Nice job, again. Been thoroughly enjoying your videos. All of them outstanding. Congrats 200K !.
Great review as always. This channel is where I come before I buy a new reel
Daiwa!! LT's been kicking it all year for me!! Both Ballistic and Tatula's. And thanks for the tip on reel handle spacer washers!!
Great review...just bought a 10' Spinfisher VI! Will be my 3rd Penn combo...5th Penn reel....Excited to use

just picked up the 6500 live liner for 169.99 to chunk for stripers. thanks you have made picking the right tackle a lot easier for a few years now
Not regretting buying the slammer3 anymore. Love the reel. Will try the spinfisher when I get a chance
Love all the fresh water reel reviews, and if I ever go saltwater fishing, I know where to go to learn what gear will be the best bang for my buck
GIDDAY FROM DOWN UNDER MATE! Love your reviews and attention to detail reel breakdowns.
Sick review,
I’m new to tackle knowledge/fishing and always go to tackle advisors for info on different reels.
My favorite color purple. The color of passion. I like your vids above the rest. Simply because you are very specific and detailed plus good quality.
Well, your enthusiasm for the SSVI motivated me to pick one up (after years of considering them junk).... now we need a full teardown video so I could maintain it.
Been waiting for this one. Great reel for beginner offshore. Shimano definitely gonna churn out something next year or two.
I paid attention to this Review. You answered my question about spinfisher VI to slammer.
Thank you
As usual top review. Wish any supplier would supply Penn in Malta. Shimano and Daiwa rule the market here
Awesome reel, been using it a few months now, no issues whatsoever.
Tackle Advisors thanks for everything you do. Made me realize that the Spinfisher is just bit lighter than the bg or my pursuit III, but still a brick. I am going to change my reel to a fuego lt now, instant 8oz weight savings 🤯 . Can´t beat daiwa these days.

New surf rods that will disrupt the market? I’m a tackle junkie and you shouldn’t tease an addict. Now please tell us more
Great work as always! Don’t stop what you’re doing!
Quality review! Now I need to see more about that Daiwa Ballistic LT!
Great Review! Always enjoy your videos. I even use your scobby rig, pocket change rig, and scrappy do rig.
Thanks for the hard work. Greatly appreciate the effort you put in to your videos.
Exceptional review! Very detailed..... Can you do a video comparing the new Spinfisher VI to the older Spinfisher V? Naming all the differences and upgrades made to the new Spinfisher VI.
Awesome video. I changed to 4 new vi reels based on your reviews!
Fingers crossed for the win! I'm still torn between the SF and the Slammer. I think this will send me to the Slammer. Thanks a bunch.
Just ordered one...Thank you for your hard work and honesty..
Great video, thanks for always giving good thorough reviews!
Great video as always! Thanks for the hardcore, unbiased review.
Always been a fan of the Spinfisher reels. It looks like they did an awesome job with the upgrades in the new Spinfisher VI series from the Spinfisher V.
And the winner is :) coming soon. Entry is now closed for the Kyohga give away as of 3:30 PM
Love your channel it helps me pick out good rods and reels
Already slayed some trout this morning its a good day!!!
I fuvkning love u and Elias. keep up these collabs, in the meantime ill be picking one of these reels
Great review!
Your efforts help so much of us!
Thanks!

Glad this came out. I am looking for a light real for surf and bay fishing so this helps.

Awesome review!! Looking forward to adding this reel to my collection.👍🏽🎣
I just watched an hour qbout a reel i probally wont buy since i have no ocean or similar even near. Information is key so no harm done. Really do enjoy your videos, very informative and homest as far as i can tell. Cheers
Thanks Calli..I've battled shills and undisclosed pro staffers on forums for years.....It's shocking how nobody nowadays can tell the friggin truth about a mass produced widget in a cardboard box lol......
Another great review. Best reel reviews anywhere!
Love the vids keep em coming. Footage of the cudda is awsome.
Great review you actually helped me make up my mind,I'm off to get a new reel.
Sweet reels, the level of sealing at this price point especially in smaller sizes is unbeatable. Definitely gonna consider this for jetty fishing.
Great review, as always! I would like to be entered in the competition for that Daiwa Kyohga. Keep up the great vids.
What’s that
After watching all of Elias V fishing's videos killing reds and your comprehensive break down I think I'm pretty much sold. I think the live line version would be perfect for someone like me who does a lot of shore based live bait fishing. Thank you for these very detailed reviews.
Cool man! He put a pounding on this reel and it took it very well. You're welcome
Definitely on my radar for future purchases thanks to you. This channel is way more informative than others and respectful. Guy's an ass from THE REEL whatever ch.
Great content in your videos! Kinda want a Vi now but I have many spinners. I should expand my conventional arsenal...A Kyogha would be an awesome start!!
Very nice, great for the money. Nice to see at least someone listened and then implemented changes. Nice giveaway as well, should be a great reel for the longterm.
Thanks brotha!
Love that reel. Always good content on your channel.
Love what you do man. Keep up the great work.
Wow! That review was in-depth! Enjoyed it. No problem with going a bit sidetrack hehe. Just makes us a bit rich on General Knowledge. :) Thank you for the awesome review.
Great review. Looking forward to more in the future.
Always great video. Congrats on stat about GSquad!
Like always awesome video best fishing tackle reviewer in TH-cam
Just bought the VI 3500 and couldn't be more impressed with the line lay. Absolutely perfect. My VI 7500LC's though...not even close.
Love your reviews! Looking forward to more and more! BTW, Gimme the Reel!!!!!
Love the live liner and of course the Kyogha.
Love your attention to detail and breakdowns. Wonder what I’ll use the Daiwa for? 😏
Love your channel , i always check your video before purchase the new fishing gear.
Thanks for the review.... getting time to replace my early 1990's Spinfisher SS.... :-) Just wish they still built them here in Philly.
Was waiting for this video for sometime
Great review, glad I found your channel
Been waiting for this video for a while.
Great review. Definitely going to pick a couple up, also sold me on the daiwa reel lol
Excellent review. Hopefully get to test one out in the salt here in Australia soon.
i read all the description, lol cant wait to see the review, need something new in my arsenal
Nice video! I love the black and gold on those PENN reels.
Thanks for the review Nick!
Great review. I really appreciate your attention to detail. Maybe it's just me, but I don't see the Daiwa BG on your Amazon store front. I have the 4500 already and am looking to get the 2500 soon. Thanks again!
Thank you for doing these reviews. It helps people who want the best bang for their buck.
Currently using the Daiwa Exceler 4000H. Smoothest reel I have ever owned.
Keep an eye on the anti-reverse bearing in saltwater. I have one. Love it. Was the smoothest reel I ever fished with, until I took it on my kayak in the sea.

Good video, very knowledgeable. I started fishing the surf, might give this one a go.
Sir, You have really made my day as what I will buy to to send to my family in the Philippines, (Dumaguete) for there Christmas this year as fishing is a source
of there income and diet as well. Thank you so much for your "NO NONSENSE" and truthful info and guidance. Tom Leonard, of Augusta Kansas.
This video makes me want to buy the spinfisher vi lol maybe when I can save up some money. Great videos like always. Very informative
