Hmm... all Penn reels. The title should've been "Top 5 Penn Surf fishing reels". I would think the Daiwa Saltigas, Shimano SWs or Van Staal would have something to say about that.
My favorites are the shimano ultegra 5500 lc, the tica talisman 4000 & 8000 and the spinfisher 5500 lc. The slammer is more of a boat reel do to the lower drag setting being too tite, I nearly lost mine in the surf because of that.
I've got Slammer's, Battle's, but much prefer anything comparable from Daiwa. Check out their new BG MQ. In a league of its own at the $199 price point.
We come down from Illinois once a year for vacation, and I bought a couple of the pursuits several years ago. They have been rock solid for what I do. Great video.
I love my Slammer…not sure about the comment below from someone stating this real is a boat reel? I use my 5500 exclusively from the shore matched to a Mojo, amazing combo, small cats to 100 lbs sharks caught, and everything in between, never failed, and no issues with the drag setting!! Awesome reel. Expensive, but worth every penny. I can hand it to a novice, and not worry about a novice doing it anything stupid.
I have a slammer 10500 and getting a slammer III hs 6500 for small sharks and bull reds, I'm also getting an 8500 dx for bigger sharks, should I get a 4500 or 5500 next?
Great video, on these reels, u must have been reading fisherman's mind,am fishing with Dawa, but new Penn's are in the future,,,,, Stay Safe God Bless,,,,
Penn reels have always performed well for me as long as I remember with the models that you get what you pay for. Thanks for being apart of the channel!
Definitely pay the $50-80 more and just get the slammer. I’ve fried 3 spinfishers In the time I’ve had my slammer and it’s still going its smoother, lighter and more powerful
Liked and subscribed.I appreciate your time. I live in North Carolina an hour and a half from the coast. Stuff is not in stock like it usually is at tackle shops. It might be but it might not be. I might have to buy online site unseen. I do have some good stuff. Not much. I’ll pay money for good quality. Saint Croix. Tide master ..I think.?. And 2000 series reels. Fin-nor&peen. Swap back-and-forth. None of it’s right in front of me. The reels are not top-of-the-line ,but close. ..200 ish. The last time I bought anything was the 90s. I take good care of my stuff. I am having an urge to buy Something a little longer. Maybe 8 1/2 feet or so. Size up to a 2500 maybe 3000. Trap braid for the first time maybe.? Thin diameter rod. I’ll get some bigger stuff that I will be putting in a rod holder sometime. Maybe next year. What do you think about the 8 1/2 footer and a larger than 2000 series reel idea? I want to be able to cast out further. Do a lot of flounder fishing in close .Travel light. Ziploc bag with a few pieces of tackle in my pocket and one rod and reel. Cast hundreds of times per day. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Have a good one. Burke Wills. Sandhills of North Carolina.28327
Tbh.. salt fishing reels SHOULD have protection. So they might be good fresh water.. but i wouldnt class as salt water reels lol Its like taking a convertible to a desert. No protection n stoopid (the IDEA.. not the ppl)
I got huge GT using kite, no reels, no rod. if you would a colab video from a different country, I'm up to it. live video like skype, I'm happy to share my traditional way of fishing.
I started with 10’ rods but now use 12’ TFO rods for casting distance. I do have a video about surf rods as well that might be helpful to see some options
Yeah, the title is clickbait, intentionally or unintentionally. When you profile a brand that hard, you're looking for some $, even if you aren't cognizant of it.
Title should rather be Top 5 Penn Surf Fishing Reels for 2020
The guy must be sponsored by penn.
Penn Spinfisher has never let me down for surf fishing, but I've been eyeing up the slammer.
You won't be sorry buying the slammer! The drag on that reel is so smooth and it's addicting hearing those micro clicks.
Me too lol dont like the spinfisher VI
Hmm... all Penn reels. The title should've been "Top 5 Penn Surf fishing reels". I would think the Daiwa Saltigas, Shimano SWs or Van Staal would have something to say about that.
Top 5 reels based on my personal experience of what I’ve actually used. I’m sure those reels are all great
I love Penn, started inshore fishing with them. 2500 battle is my favorite. I just recently bought a Daiwa Bg 3000. I’m getting a ballistic next.
Pursuit was ok. The fierce 2s that I have are solid and the battle 2 has held up well also.
Of those 3 options, the Battle is my favorite.
Love the penn reels! I’ll be upgrading to some spinfishers soon! Great video dude!
Thanks Brad! You will love the spinfishers!!
U answer all my questions thank you
My favorites are the shimano ultegra 5500 lc, the tica talisman 4000 & 8000 and the spinfisher 5500 lc. The slammer is more of a boat reel do to the lower drag setting being too tite, I nearly lost mine in the surf because of that.
What size reel would you recommend for jogging? Target would be Dorado/ Wahoo.
Nice video, thanks.
Glad you liked it!
Good list but I don't see any daiwa reels thanks🐟
Where does a Penn 704 Greenie fall on this list?
Right below the Walmart special...hahaha those reels are legendary!!
no reel made today cane last as long as that reel only the 704z
Great video thanks for your time and help 🐟
How do you feel about the Daiwa BG 8000?
I’m guessing he’s never left the Penn train. I have the BG 8000 on a 13’ rod. I love it.
@@nickthomp519 yeah I ended up buying it and I couldn’t be happier with it. I threw it on a Tsunami rod and I’ve caught a ton already
Great reel
I've got Slammer's, Battle's, but much prefer anything comparable from Daiwa. Check out their new BG MQ. In a league of its own at the $199 price point.
I will have to check that out! I’ve also heard great things about Diawa recently as well
We come down from Illinois once a year for vacation, and I bought a couple of the pursuits several years ago. They have been rock solid for what I do. Great video.
I appreciate it! The Pursuit is a solid reel for sure!!
Yeah I like the slammer to. Nice reel and is very smooth
Absolutely!! That reel is smooth as butter
I love my Slammer…not sure about the comment below from someone stating this real is a boat reel?

The spin fisher is my favorite but I haven’t tried the slammer yet. The fierce is also decent if you’re just starting out
You should try out the Slammer when you get a chance. It really is fantastic reel at a reasonable price (compared to Shimano or Van Staal reels).
Yes! Not as far as a long cast reel but very good
I have a slammer 10500 and getting a slammer III hs 6500 for small sharks and bull reds, I'm also getting an 8500 dx for bigger sharks, should I get a 4500 or 5500 next?
Great video! What are you using to hold the fish at the end?
Are you talking about the stingray?
How about the Shimano sphyeros? Or the Twin power SW? Or how about the Shimano ultegra Ci4+
Not a fan of most of the shimano lineup. Too expensive for what you get in return (just my opinion).
Great video, on these reels, u must have been reading fisherman's mind,am fishing with Dawa, but new Penn's are in the future,,,,, Stay Safe God Bless,,,,

Title should be “ best Penn reels on Amazon” lol
Definitely pay the $50-80 more and just get the slammer. I’ve fried 3 spinfishers In the time I’ve had my slammer and it’s still going its smoother, lighter and more powerful
Agreed. The slammer is just a solid reel all around
@@SaltSquatch absolutely. I just sent mine into penn after 6 years of heavy saltwater jetty fishing. It needed some love
Can you do best Amazon spinning / conventional rods for surf

What is a good dry bag for fishing???
Honestly I would just find an inexpensive one on Amazon. Doesn’t have to be a specific brand
Thoughts on Battle 2 vs 3. Any major differences that would make you pick one over the other?
CNC gears now make the reel a lot smoother
Nice review boss
What would you use for long casting fishing rod?
Penn battle and spinfisher are my favorite reels. I do like the pursuit for light tackle fishing
The Pursuit does make a great light tackle reel! The Spinfisher is amazing for surf fishing.
Can you show a video on how you rinse and maintainace your reels. I just got me the penn persuit 3 4000
All I ever do is rinse off my reels. I try to buy reels that are sealed well so I don't have to pull them apart and grease them
Penn Slammer is an amazing reel! If it wasn't so expensive that's all I would buy
Agreed! That's why I stick with the Penn Spinfisher for my daily use reel...one day I'm sure I will have a nice lineup of slammers.
“Tony Stark’s garage” 😂😂😂
Hahahaha...that's always the first thing that comes to mind when I see a Slammer.
Where’s the Diawa BG??
This is penn tv ?
Personally I like the fierce but I also am cheap
I understand! The sport can get expensive fast, and the Fierce is a great little reel for the money.
Penn pursuit reels get it done for me
(Minute 3:55) 500 POUNDS OF 20 POUND BRAID???
500 yards of 20lb braid
Buy from a local tackle store instead. Amazon can’t sell you fresh bait. Support small business owners with your money
I agree with that
Your just a PENN fan boy ,
Daiwa bg should have been on this list.
Never used a Diawa BG...can only honestly recommend what I’ve used. I’ve tried other reels (including Shimano) but always come back to Penn
@@SaltSquatch fair enough, overall you had good recommendations.
lol penn advertising. 5000 maybe for small bait. 8andbait by far to small.
*Comment below your favorite fishing reel!!!*
Hi I don't see any conventional rods and reels thanks
I don’t use conventional
Penn ad.
Amazon or Penn reels. I feel you mistitled this video
Tbh.. salt fishing reels SHOULD have protection.
So they might be good fresh water.. but i wouldnt class as salt water reels lol
Its like taking a convertible to a desert. No protection n stoopid (the IDEA.. not the ppl)
Who needs 500 yards ?
Someone tarpon or shark fishing
lll take my 704 z any day 30 plus still going
Pen torque
Totally unbiased...*has all penn reels* rofl
I actually just made a new video of the top 10 surf fishing reels. And they are not all penn
I got huge GT using kite, no reels, no rod. if you would a colab video from a different country, I'm up to it. live video like skype, I'm happy to share my traditional way of fishing.
Shimano is the best anyway...
Sure if you want to spend $700 for a Stella.
Yes my heart and my mind is open to Jesus and my father jahovah God 🙏 ✝️
Pursuit 3 sucks ass. Had 3000 and 5000 both get jacked up by a small Jack crevalle when they were brand new. Fierce sucks as well
You I have a feeling that you work for Penn or making money off of them
No to both. Just what I use
Clearly not a good review as all reels are Penn. Cleary the review is bios
At the time of making that video, Penn was the best brand I had used. I have since made a top 10 surf reels video with other brands.
@@SaltSquatch sweet. Thanks. Will check it out. If I may ask what ft rods do you pair your 5000 tp 6000 size reels?
I started with 10’ rods but now use 12’ TFO rods for casting distance. I do have a video about surf rods as well that might be helpful to see some options
This feels like a review with extreme bias?
You don’t like penn do you? Lol
Yeah, the title is clickbait, intentionally or unintentionally. When you profile a brand that hard, you're looking for some $, even if you aren't cognizant of it.
Or it’s an honest review on products I’ve only used. Don’t get a cent from Penn for recommending their product
Best reels on amazon? So good they make the other competition disappear?
Did you get a penn sponsorship yet? 🤣😂🤣😂
What is up with all these fishing reviews video main image having ya lookin all shocked and surprised?! Haha, lame as hell
You looked, you clicked, you commented. Engagement equals payday
So you’re sponsored by PENN or just a PENN groupie?
