Great info.....Here on Guam i use three rigs, 1st. The Penn slammer 4 8500 spinning reel with 70lb braid on a 12ft uglystik Xheavy surf rod, 2nd. Penn slammer 4 6500 spinning reel with 60lb braid on a 9ft Xheavy ugly stik GX2 elite rod, and 3rd. Penn slammer iv 5500 spinning reel with 45lb braid (my light tackle setup) on a 8ft Penn heavy battalion 2 spinning rod.😊
I know this is an old video but for people just watching it this is valuable information. I have way too many rods and reels and sometimes I end up spending too much time trying to decide what to take on a fishing trip. Two good reels and maybe 4 rods and you can go after anything. Sure, you probably won’t catch a 12’ tiger shark without the right equipment but then again you better be prepared for that with everything else or you can get hurt. So, two decent reels in the sizes he recommends will go a long way and make packing for a fishing trip so much easier. I have been on several trips where some rods and reels never make it out of my car and I wonder why I brought them in the first place. And, with the reels taken care of you can focus on everything else like tackle and technique.
Great video . I got my jig master 500 passed down to me from my uncle that passed away I didn’t use it for a long time because I have newer reels but finally I got around to cleaning and servicing it and have used it for two seasons now And I have to admit it’s becoming my favorite real because not only does it hold sentimental value but it’s a workhorse!
I have two of the Penn Fierce III's, one in 3000 for inshore and pier/beach fishing, and one in 5000 for offshore trolling and bottom fishing. Couldn't be happier with them!
I use the 4000 for for everything from casting soft plastics to bottom fishing.. 6000 battle will catch a nice tuna ..lol great vid keep them coming bro
@@danielmedhurst5737 I have Penn 3500 and 4500 that I have 20 lb braid on. Now I have reels from 4500 to 10500 in Penn it all depends on what type of fishing that you are planning on doing. When I am shark fishing my shock leaders are 200 lbs steel wire.
Penn battle 6000 and a shimano spheros 6000. The largest fish I caught with the battle was a 20-25 lbs striped bass. It handled it very well and the spheros is largely untested (fish wise.) Both have been dropped and dunked..... and only this season (first in six or seven seasons ) I needed to open the battle to remove some grease and sand from having dropped it.
Penn Fierce 2 4000, Ugly Stik GX2 7' Medium Heavy. You talked me into saving a few bucks vs the Battle 2 in an earlier video. In the market for a surf rod and reel, so this was helpful. Thanks for the great content as usual!
He isn’t lying. Just found the Penn Fierce II 4000LL and 6000LL for $18 and $22 respectively at Dicks in Myrtle Beach. Every sport store yo go to, just ask. Never hurts. Same store I got a tiger elite jigging rod for $45. 🤷🏼♂️
Paul Miles I found a spheros 6000 for 98..... Also a tsunami airwave for 45! Congrats on these deals also that's some cheap prices for some good quality gear then.....
i do alot of fishing and use only 2 size reels. as a matter of fact i just bought a penn pursuit4 4000 AND a pursuit4 6000 for only $70 total. both brand new in the plastic packaging. i have a guy who has a relative who is sponsored by penn and sells his unused spares when he gets a new shipment. after decades of being a shakespeare user im switching to penn and these are the 2 sizes i use.
Okuma 4000 on a 9' Daiwa rod with 15 lb mono, okuma 5000 on a 10' Academy H20, Okuma 5000 on 11' ugly stick; all for surf fishing. Daiwa BG 2500 on a 9' clarus steel head rod and a Penn sargus 4000 on a 7' ugly stick for surf casting.
Penn pursuit 3 is pretty good so far for me. Haven't really caught anything big yet but a 4000 holds 260 yards of braid. 4000 is around 50 dollars too.
I got the 4500 spinfisher v because it was almost the same weight as the 3500 but has more line ect, I think I can catch almost any fish with it including small ones.
The Pen reels are GREAT. I love their drags. But, when you get my age you don’t care quite as much about cost. So I will buy A Shimano witch also has a GREAT drag but, also supports a FANTASTIC ball barring supply for an unequalled smooth action.
You nailed it bro! I fish at the jetti and small 4000 one for catching fish up to 20lb and bait. The Penn 7500ss for bigger fish, but the 8500 is more adequate.
The two combos I have are a Shimano Sedona 4000 with 20 lbs power pro with a 8ft medium heavy hurricane calico jack rod and the second one I have is a Penn fierce III 6000 with 25 lb mono on a 7ft medium heavy ugly stik gx2
Stradic fl 2500 15 lbs braid 20 pound mono leader on a 7 ft medium or medium heavy rod (teramar) I have caught massive striper /blue still fun going lm bass fishing with it switch to a 8 lb floro leader My surf is a 9 ft st croix triumph surf with a 5 k Diawa saltist spinning 20 to 30 braid but must admit I have a lot of stuff best reels right now for under 200 are the shimano stadic fl and the Diawa ballistic lt you will thank me later if you purchase one of them ...
i fish everything everywhere on 1 reel 1 pole and all the time same silk size. Never had any problems idk whats up with all the choices. Everything together with baits cost me like 100$
What rod with the 4000? Looking at 20# braid and needing a new rod. Have the penn 4000 reel already. Looking at prevail II inshore spinning 7’ medium. Or calico jack 7’ MH
I have a Daiwa Ballistic LT 3000 on a 10' Savage gear Salmonoid 15-35g gramm rod that i use for smaller lures (10-30 gramm) when coastel or pier fishing and that is sooo smooth (the reel price is 300,-us$ here in Denmark). I also just got a (brand new old stock) Penn Slammer 460 on a 9' Savage Gear Salt 1DFR shore jigging 40-80 gramm rod (and that reel is only 100,-us$ new on sale). I use it for bigger lures (30-80 gramm) That Penn is a tank and i have no worries getting saltwater on it when boat fishing.
Ur right Yak! I hit garage sales when I see them and pawn shops too. Just found a penn battle 2 6000 without a scratch on it a a pawn shop for 50 bucks . And it was spooled with some high dollar mono too. Score!
I use a 3000 size reel for 30 lb test braided line and a 4000 series reel 50 lb test braided line and my reasoning for this is I don't like to use backing I actually use electrical tape to keep the braid from slipping and give it something to bite into. And secondly, I also don't like having more than 200 yards of line or any less than 150 yards of line and this is because anything over 200 yards of line just seems like a total waste since you don't need more than 200 yards of line in any situation out there and any less than 150 yards of line is not enough line.
73 now, so not headed out to catch much, as lately i'd mainly only be thinking of Hemmingway's best book about an epic effort to catch a big fish. but your video is one of relatively few with a few specifics for any mindful of any gifting opportunity, etc. thanks.
Go for Okuma. They're under Pure fishing now. That's mean, they're good stuff. Azores with twin drag and twin stopper is awesome. Helios are good and light
@@timpage5021 not to big l have double rig that l brought from walmart cost 97 cents which the weight on bottom n i was using green backs weight size depends on your rod mine calls for a 2oz hope this helps n good fishing buddy
Dan TheMan if you go to the gun desk at your local Academy sports they can put in the product number and auto check all the Academy’s within ya few hundred miles of you. That’s what I had to do. But I’m a Penn addict. I drove 2 hours for the SSV5500 for $35
Wish I had seen this video before lol. I live in PCB. I have a PENN Pursuit 2500, 4000, 5000, PENn Fierce 6000 and PENN spinfisher 8500 on 5 different rods. Got 2 10 foot poles with no reels and just ordered the PENN 10500. I know to many rods and reels
I use 3500 and 6500 Slammer 3's. I've got six rods to choose from to match the type of fishing and size of fish I'm targeting. If I could only have one reel it would be the Slammer 3 4500 which I plan on getting for a tweener.
Thanks Yak.....just picked up a Penn 6500 ss....thought it was awfully big because of moving up.from my 3500.....until I saw your 8500!! Love your videos
I have the penn battle 2 3000 and shimano nascii 3000 and prefer the penn better. Only because of the drag system not to mention it holds more line(20lb braided line) than the shimano. Nasci is much smoother and friendlier when i cast plastics and light lures alike for 5-10 hrs.

Great vid, bro. I’m in Grand Isle, La. and my 2 main combos are the Penn Spinfisher V in 3500 spooled with Power Pro super slick in 20lbs (which is actually smaller than the Persuit 3 in 3000) and a Penn Spinfisher V 6500 spooled up with 50lb suffix advanced superline braid. These 2 dude catch anything and everything.
Want cheaper go for Okuma . They make good quality stuff. I go for size 2500 and 400. My Daiwa BG4500 have more lines than Shimano Sargosa 6000 ! I'm going for Okuma Azores and Helios next as they have water shield. The rod is usually uglystick and modified Berkley lightning rod than can jig 200g lead
Just invested in a 4000 shimano catana reel paired with a daiwa emblem pro 11 footer spooled with 30lb braid for beach fishing. Great video and tight lines! From India
Daiwa reels are sized larger than the other brands. Example : The 3000 series BG is equal to other brands 4000 series. It continues this way up and down the sizes.
I have a 6000 series penn pursuit with 50lb braid for inshore and offshore fishing. I also have several old school restored penn jiggmaster 500 that I use fore offshore. I also have some 1000 series shimano spinning reels for trout and bass fishing.
I'm using a Shimono Sedona on a ugly gx2 for bait fish and I use a penn 113hlw on a penn carnage 2 ulua to slide. This all on shore fishing here in hawaii
I used to live in Tallahassee and miss fishing we go to panama for vacation every year but think I’m gonna stop somewhere to pick up a cheaper combo so I can surf fish while they all sleep what’s a good place to go before pc
You cant go wrong with the penn SS. I've bought them at fleamarkets broken and fix them myself. I even have some for parts. They last. SALUDOS.........
I have a Penn Fierce II 3000 that I use for surf fishing at Gulf Shores/Orange Beach. It works fine. I also fish off the State Park Pier with it. I put 20 lb power pro on it and it works great.
Hey man, I just found your channel today. I just wanted to thankyou for your awesome awesome content. You're super informative and fun to watch. The videos are all of great quality. I'm not salt water fishing anytime soon, but I'm trying to get into kayak fishing and I am learning so much from you. Thanks man.
need help if you could, get a new 2500 for now and later on get something bigger for targeting biger fish like monster carps, king salmon, etc or do you think a 3000 could handle those fish and use it also for smaller fish ?
@@greekporsche928 I am trying to fish for whatever I can catch from the surf. This would be my first setup/gear I want to start surf fishing, i currently just do freshwater..... yes I'm talking about the battle 2 8000 combo that comes with the 10 ft rod.
Good god I don’t know why my comment posted so many times. I’m still relatively new to surf fishing my self. I started about 3 months ago. So I would also do some research outside of my opinion. I got the 6000 combo with the 9’ m\h rod and I wasn’t dissapointed. I was between the 6000 and 8000 but went with the 6000 because I didn’t want the heavy rod that came with the 8000. I just recently purchased a 12 rod too because I wanted the extra casting distance. I want to get the 8000 as well but primarily for sharks. The next reel I get though will be the 4000 because I think it’s a better all around saltwater reel for both surf and inshore
When you were fishing with Brant and the shark ate your fish. What pole were you using? Brant's poles don't seem to flex as yours do. They seem to mainly flex at the end. Yours seem to flex the length of the rod.

So is 3000 like a size 30 I noticed alot or reels have 25, 30, 35, and 40?
Yes bro yor video really clear an informative I’m from Sri lanka 🇱🇰
I have a 6000 series penn pursuit with 50lb braid for inshore and offshore fishing. I also have several old school restored penn jiggmaster 500 that I use fore offshore. I also have some 1000 series shimano spinning reels for trout and bass fishing.
Shimano Sienna 2500 and Penn Pursuit 3 6000. Is all I need.

I'm using a Shimono Sedona on a ugly gx2 for bait fish and I use a penn 113hlw on a penn carnage 2 ulua to slide. This all on shore fishing here in hawaii
I used to live in Tallahassee and miss fishing we go to panama for vacation every year but think I’m gonna stop somewhere to pick up a cheaper combo so I can surf fish while they all sleep what’s a good place to go before pc
Great video. I just bought a Penn Pursuit III in size 3000 for freshwater lake and river. Seems to be an awesome reel.
You cant go wrong with the penn SS. I've bought them at fleamarkets broken and fix them myself. I even have some for parts. They last.
SALUDOS.........
would a 3000 work for surf fishing gulf shores?
I have a Penn Fierce II 3000 that I use for surf fishing at Gulf Shores/Orange Beach. It works fine. I also fish off the State Park Pier with it. I put 20 lb power pro on it and it works great.
What are the best size reel i can put 300mts of braid line strong
I got a 10ft shark with a penn 7500 took 1hr to reel in it's on u tube and tic toc
Hey man, I just found your channel today. I just wanted to thankyou for your awesome awesome content. You're super informative and fun to watch. The videos are all of great quality. I'm not salt water fishing anytime soon, but I'm trying to get into kayak fishing and I am learning so much from you. Thanks man.
need help if you could, get a new 2500 for now and later on get something bigger for targeting biger fish like monster carps, king salmon, etc or do you think a 3000 could handle those fish and use it also for smaller fish ?
This is really informative 😉
fierce ll 3000 combo, with 20lb braid for surf fishing.
Same here. Works great.
Penn Spinfisher v 4000 is my all around small reel of choice 🙌🏽. Nice video
Spinfisher V 4000 isn't small mate
Would a Diawa BG be suitable for inshore and charter fishing?
For saltwater I use a Daiwa Costal 200 Tws and a Shimano Sahara Fi 3000
Sahara is a great reel I love mine
ROBJ Fishing it’s held up
Well for not being a saltwater reel
Penn Battle II 4000
Fyrst Waffen what do you use his for what can it catch I’m debating whether rn should buy
Is a battle 2 6000 reel good for a first surf fishing setup?
absolutely. I use a battle 2 6000 on a 12' m/h rod and it's great for surf fishing. It will catch just about anything.
@@greekporsche928 what if I go with a 8000 reel with a 10 ft rod combo that's what I was looking at the other day in a store.
@@greekporsche928 I am trying to fish for whatever I can catch from the surf. This would be my first setup/gear I want to start surf fishing, i currently just do freshwater..... yes I'm talking about the battle 2 8000 combo that comes with the 10 ft rod.
Good god I don’t know why my comment posted so many times. I’m still relatively new to surf fishing my self. I started about 3 months ago. So I would also do some research outside of my opinion. I got the 6000 combo with the 9’ m\h rod and I wasn’t dissapointed. I was between the 6000 and 8000 but went with the 6000 because I didn’t want the heavy rod that came with the 8000. I just recently purchased a 12 rod too because I wanted the extra casting distance.
I want to get the 8000 as well but primarily for sharks. The next reel I get though will be the 4000 because I think it’s a better all around saltwater reel for both surf and inshore
What are your thoughts on a 10,000 size.. it’s a bit bigger but should fish similar to an eight thousand right?
Excellent informative video, Jack!
I have a Fire 7000 reel. How much power does it have and how many kg fish can I bring in with it without breaking the rod and reel??
West coast fishing. Torium 16 and a Torium 20.
It's my first time saltwater fishing what should I get to start .
Can you catch GT with penn 850 of the rocks
Really like my Daiwa BG 2500 for inshore
I have a Penn Battle II 8000 and it's worth it to buy it just because the thing is a beast, it's my New England Beast Slayer
Love the Penn 3000 series. Thank you for sharing man. You really put it all together. What rod sizes are you using?
I use a Shimano SW 4000xg and a Shimano SW 8000pg.
When you were fishing with Brant and the shark ate your fish. What pole were you using? Brant's poles don't seem to flex as yours do. They seem to mainly flex at the end. Yours seem to flex the length of the rod.
