![Should You Buy a Penn Spinfisher VI? [Pros & Cons Review]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/6yu565UYut0/mqdefault.jpg)
I have the same reel in my arsenal. It is a workhorse. I love this reel.
Thank you for sharing!
You ain’t lying it’s a beast
Wow nice fish u pulled in with the spinfisher I’m looking forward to picking it up
Great reel I highly recommend
Hi Jack , great video. I just ordered a 3500 but it seems the 2500 would have been plenty. As the bodies are the same size , can you just buy a smaller 2500 spool and get two got the price of one ?
I’m not a 100% but I’m almost sure you can
Nice to see the VI still has that classic Penn rash
Gotta use it and abuse it before a review 😭
Gotta use it and abuse it before a review 🤙🏽
Good on ya for the legit review. I have a ton of spinfishers some are just over 20 years old and one of things all of them have in common is that rash. I baby my gear as far as not letting them touch the ground and making sure there cased but I couldn't stop it lol.
I try and take care of mine always rinse /!clean and service
Good solid dependable reel.
Yes sir agreed
How do you feel about the rod that comes with the penn spinfisher VI combo? Do you use it? Or do you just the reel and upgrade the rod?
Figuring out if I should just get penn reels and upgrade the rods to other brands has been a dilemma for me because I’ve heard negative things about penn rods but haven’t had bad experiences yet myself.
It all depends on what you wanna do with your combo penn makes some great rods
I like that you showed the reel in action. Kayak fishing at night? Crazy lol Good review man.
Thanks I like to give the reel a work out before I give a honest review
Great review bro!
Cisco's World thanks and tight lines 🤙🏾

@@YakinwithJack what power?
Just grabbed a 4500 bailless for throwing plugs up here in Massachusetts. Now just waiting for the fish to head up here. Lol
would you recommend this reel or a different model (same series) for multipurpose fishing for multiple species, including freshwater fishing? Or is it better suited for saltwater only?
This reel would work for both but it’s mostly geared to saltwater
I used a penn for freshwater, they work fine and last for a long time
In my opinion i think that you dont need so much water tightness in a reel you need light for sure so i think this reel is not the best choise for fishing in fresh water, but it does the job
I'm a reel fan of Penn, after purchasing my slammer iii 3500 I'd have more Penn gear in a flash
A Devon Kayak Fisher yes I have the 3500 as well it is a work horse
I LOVE my spinfishers V and Slammers III for kayak fishing but, how about compared to Stradic FK for shallow waters from the seaside?
Nice reel 👍👍 good luck. 08.19.2020
estoy por comprarlo unos cuantos ahorros mas y adquirir ese hermoso carrete. saludos buen video.
Thanks for watching 🤙🏽
To clarify you caught that big red on 2500? I’ve been debating on the size of the reel because I didn’t know what it could handle (I am from the panhandle of Florida) all we have is reds for days but If that’s the case I am sold
Shane Williams Yes I did I live in Pensacola were the bullreds are here year around
Yakin with Jack well shit! I know I’m an internet stranger but you arnt far off! I’m sold for sure then on the reel if your ever in the Panama City area let me know lol
What length rod do you recommend? 7? 7.6? light action? med light?
I like a 7 ft medium but mostly fish from a kayak
What is a great rod for this? I catch redfish, specks and mangrove snapper mostly inshore.
Penn makes some awesome inshore rods I would check those out first. The penn Battalion series are great
Great video man just ordered mine. Could it catch 25lb+ fish from the surf if need be?
The Irish Hammer with out a doubt
Yakin with Jack great. Thanks for the quick reply man👍🏻
Yakin with Jack what pound test line would you recommend?
The Irish Hammer what size reel ?
Yakin with Jack 2500
Is this model smaller (body size) than the SSV3500? The reason I ask is because my Battle 2 2500 is bigger than my SSV3500
I believe so the only difference is a bigger spool
Im stuck on the 2500 and the 3500, i fish for trout and redfish. Which one would be better for me? I dont know if the 3500 is too big or not
JSalomon30 they are the same size. He only difference is the spool size.
@@YakinwithJack Is it the 2500 and 3500 that are the same size (except spool) or is it the 3500 and 4500(larger spool) that are the same?
@@YakinwithJack How do you know they're the same size except for the spool? You have a 3500 to compare it to?
What kind of rod were you using With the penn 2500?
I have it on I rod genesis 2.
Hi..
Live liner 8500 or standard 9500 is better to bye plz reply
It depends on what type fishing you are doing
Hi,,,Which is better slammer 3 or spinfisher vi? I was thingking which one i should buy....
Victor Banta depends on what size reel you need anything over 3500 I would pick the slammer
I really miss a small Slammer on 2500 size. For me, Slammers are even better.
Salvador Miralla they made them the same with the vi if u want more drag then the slammer is the way but it’s better for offshore inshore the slammer is way too heavy
The VI is so close to being a slammer. The Vi is considerably lighter and for the money the Vi is the way to go for 9 of 10 anglers. The biggest advantage to the slammer is the brass gear which will last longer but the zinc gears of today are pretty good. The Vi 6500 and up have brass gears so take that into account. Im in the northeast and I fish inshore so the singles drag stack is fine for most fish. I think jack nailed it, if you want a smaller reel for lead heads and crystal minnows the smaller Vis are the way to go but if you want to go bigger the slammer is the way to go. I really like the power handle on the slammer 3 I put my slammer handle on my Vi when im not using the slammer.
I just got one of these as a gift, can someone help me with why it doesn't have a reverse?
Are you taking about anti reverse
@@YakinwithJack no, I'm sorry, I mean the switch you can flip where it will turn the spool the other direction
@@westleylarsen195 Hi mate. Loads of reels don't have a reverse switch nowadays. I do like having the switch but its a point of entry for water and playing a fish by backwinding is a rarity so many manufacturers have removed it.
@@westleylarsen195 yeah its the same thing.
Awesome vid…
Thanks
@@YakinwithJack what rod did you use with it a medium rod
@@frankleon6708 a st coir mojo medium
@@YakinwithJack medium fast or medium light?
What’s the best pound braid for it ten pound braid or fifteen
Depends on what type of fishing are you planing to do
@@YakinwithJack just throwing lures hardbaits
@@frankleon6708i would go with 15 that’s just my opinion

What line you using on the 2500?
k9k507 10 pound power pro super slick
I’m going to guess without reading comments.
1. Pensacola
2. Your accent is Louisiana
Close Pensacola is right. But I was a born in Maryland. And lived in Florida most of my life
Hi there i just want to say that i have some issues with this reel because ive got one myself and after many many hours fishing in rough salt water conditions my rotor got stucked i left the reel im my tackle shop and rhey have to change the rotor hidrophobic membrane , the said due to the lot amount of grease this penn reels got from fabric damage the membrane because of mixture between the grease and the salt i change that the guys assmbled the reel again with new spare parts but i feel that the reel is lost a lot of smoothness by turning the handle they said if i keep fishing with the reel it gets more and more smooth but ive got my doubts now. I am a lit disapointed with this issue and i hope that problem doesnt exist in the slammer iv 2500 maube i will upgrade to that reel i dont know but im sorry but ive got to say, for fushing in heavy rougj salt water conditions, dont buy this reel
I haven’t had any issues like that yet. Thanks for the info it’s definitely something to keep in mind
@@YakinwithJack im just sharing my humble opinion, i hope the slammer iv its better
Besides that. Yes its a realy workhorse and very fast racio not so heavy besides what people say its a very good fishing reel but keep in mind the salt water it will not last believe me...
@@vascovenancio8965 I hope so too I’m gonna get the 2500
Hello, i got mine now, out of the box is a little stuck, after gently rotating its unstuck but less smooth compared to a shimano freshwater reel… anyone know if its normal?
Can you really really really abuse it? Because I like a reel that can handle almost any condition especially in saltwater against big big fish. Especially smaller reel in 2000s size.
I abuse the hell out of mine caught giant bull reds on it around bridges. So I would say yes
I bought six of them
Very nice
