I’ve never had an issue with any spin fishers . And I have quite a few to include my grandfathers old greenie that’s still goin strong . Your paying a little extra but penn makes a reel meant to last a lifetime
Im going to test out my SpinFisher 8500 reel to see if i can hit the Bonita and Yellowtail. It’s tuff to locate the perfect Penn rod to pair it with here in Los Angeles.
They gave all the other Penn spinning reels a nice round power handle but not the spinfishers. Even the all plastic Persuit IV reels have power handles. It's the main reason the Battle 3 reels are doing so well, they feel much nicer and easier to wind than the Spinfisher reels. Almost everyone I know with spinfishers replace the handles.
Thank you for your feedback. We encourage you to stay tuned to our social media accounts for our coverage of ICAST 2023 this July, where we will be unveiling all of our new product innovations.
Something like the 7500 size would be just fine for yellowtail, and school size tuna. Exactly what are considered "big tuna" varies widely. For typical Southern California party boat use, spinning reels are less practical once the tuna re over 50 pounds, and anything over 100 pounds in that environment is virtually impossible. For the better-grade tuna, consider the Fathom series, with the FTH40NLD2 being a top choice. For "rock codding", spinning reels are not appropriate, but check out the new technique called "Slow Pitch Jigging", which works great for rockfish/lingcod with spinning gear.
Really, any of our spinning reels can be serviced by yourself - with some general maintenance knowledge, and some help from UA-cam. If you would rather have a trained professional take care of it, we also offer reel servicing.
Any idea when spare parts are going to be available for the LiveLiners? None of the Penn suppliers have parts stock. I need line roller bearings BADLY!
Hi Mika, Have a look at our latest version in the Carnage series of spinning rods. The new Carnage III spinning rods are available in specific models for: surf, inshore, boat jigging, boat casting and slow pitch techniques. Have a look at our website and consider the boat spinning or inshore spinning rods. www.pennfishing.com/search?q=carnage
Live Liner means you can cast your bait out, then have what amounts to "free spool" like with a conventional reel. This lets the fish swallow the bait, and you can then engage the drag and set the hook normally.
Hi there! Thanks for thinking of PENN. We're not currently expanding partnerships at this time, but we'll let you know should anything change. Fish on!
Biggest difference is that the VI series has the C-n-C machined gears, which are only available on the V series as a $75 upgrade. the VI's also have IPX5 sealing, and are 2-3 ounces lighter than the V's depending on size.
Penn has really stepped their game up over the last few years. Those slammer III's are beasts! I have a couple spinfisher V's. I need to get a VI and check it out. Can you hook me up Mr. Mike Rice?Thank you sir!
You can always find our gear available online with retailers who have inventory of our gear and can ship to your region. For the most up to date availability information directly from us, please stay tuned to our website or give us a call.
I love penn only downside on the bigger sizes they get kinda heavy casting for 11 hours lol but I love them that reminds me of my car cheaper durable beat up and still runs and my parents still say you need to get another car well I still have the same car
Hey Penn... no LiveLiners with Bail-Less? Some of us fish in inlets/piers/jetty where current/tide is strong and we still need to cast the thing far out of the rocks.
Hey, Valerie. In the PENN neoprene cover lineup, the XLGSRC [Extra-Large] size will fit the SSVI10500 spinning reel. It's available at your fishing tackle retailer or on our website: bit.ly/2AYlVA9
The Spinfisher VI 6500LL is the live liner model, featuring a live liner switch frequently used in bait fishing applications. Also available in standard, Long Cast and bail-less models, see our website for all of the specifications available.
Peace be upon you. I have a machine that is Power 8500. I need spare parts. How can I get it and that it is in Saudi Arabia. Please advise me to print my machine from the Penn company
You can find more information about ordering parts for your reel through our parts page on our website. Please note we are not shipping outside of the USA at this time, but our affiliated parts vendors may be able to ship to your region. www.pennfishing.com/pages/performance-parts
Bear in mind that [like most saltwater spin reels], sizes 6500 and larger have "manual bail only". Meaning that when you crank the handle, the bail will not engage on its own; you have to pull it over manually. What size was your reel?
Saludó soy de. Republica Dominicana ne sesito un pen para tiró largó k se ha de 30 y 40 libra cuanto me cuesta mandarlos a Republica Dominicana. gracia
You need to address the problem with poor gear mesh not the CNC BS to sell stuff. CNC has been around for years. As for the comments on USA made on some reels that is sort of misleading too because you say it is made from foreign/imported and domestic parts but wont say what parts are US made and what parts aren't. They are assembled in the US that is all. Why would I pay that kind of money to have a reel assembled in the USA from parts made in China? Last but not least putting braided line on a reel size that was originally sized for lighter weight mono and cranking the drag down all the way is going to strip out any gear set regardless of what you do if you crank on it instead of letting the fish run. Besides all of that I love Penn reels and have about 8 of them.
On the USA models, all parts that are "reel parts" such as gears, sideplates, handles, etc are US-made. Parts that are "standardized machine parts" such as screws, springs, ball bearings are purchased from industrial suppliers, and may have origins in a variety of places. The CnC gears are a substantial upgrade in this series [true that the Slammer III and Torque II series already had it]. Many anglers previously paid $65-$75 for the upgraded gears as an "add-on" to the previous Spinfisher V series.
Can you please tell me what real is made in the USA totally we make nothing we have no factories to make nothing so for you to say all he comes from China or will everything comes from China bro deal with it
Puresavage29 I do fish I was just being sarcastic on this. Van Stal is awesome I really would like to have one. Ever heard of More Than Fishing Tournament? Look it up
VanStaals are very nice reels, but being at a much higher $500-$900 price point, are apples-oranges to the new SSVI series. At the SSVI's price of $139-$249, PENN is putting as many high-performance features as possible at a price any angler can afford. The spinning reel series in PENN's lineup that aligns with VS is the Torque II. If price is not too important, the Torque II's are phenomenal reels.
Available in 9 sizes; from a 2500 to a 10500 size. True that the 9500 and 10500 size are beasts- but that is necessary for those anglers who may need up to 670 yards of 65 pound line. If you don't need that much line, then one of the smaller/lighter sizes still has all of the same features.
you US penn fanboys should remember that this is a reel made in china by a company owned by a chinese conglomerate. penn's quality is just plain disappointing compared to shimano or daiwa.
Chinese conglomerate? Incorrect. PENN also has the USA-made Torque II series spinning reels, along with the US-made "Z" series spinning reels, which are the lowest priced US-made reels offered by ANY manufacturer. With the Japanese manufacturers, the "threshold" for "made in Japan" is $400-$600 retail, and reels below that point are also made in China, Malayasia, Viet Nam, etc.
I agree that like 3-8 years ago PENN's quality was pretty awful for several things, but since then they have stepped it up. Also, my all time favorite reel the Torque 1 spinners, were from that era and I have next to zero complaints about them. Not a fan of the Torque II's and Penn will never be as smooth or "sophisticated" as the over priced Asian reels, but can't beat their toughness. I could beat someone unconscious with my Torque I and then still catch a giant fish right afterwards, thing is built like a tank.
hell, I would rather fish handline than fish the Z. tens of ounces lighter, saltwater resistance beyond compare, and better line lay. the only thing the Z does better than my bare hands is cracking walnuts when i get hungry on the shore
You are correct, the Z is old tech, but the users love them, and they are nearly impossible to kill. However, Your original point was "made in China", which applies to virtually every spinning reel out there that is under $500, and in fact applies to a number of spinning reels over $500. The reels in the above vid start at $139.95. You also stated that the co. is owned by a "Chinese Conglomerate" which is also incorrect.
"impossible to kill?" In Alan Hawk's review, all it took to maul his SSV 8500 was a tiny mashed pinion. Let's face it, the only "tough" Penns reels are those made in USA. All the rest are borderline garbage compared to Shimmies and Daiwas.
Penn killing it once again love Penn reels
I’ve never had an issue with any spin fishers . And I have quite a few to include my grandfathers old greenie that’s still goin strong . Your paying a little extra but penn makes a reel meant to last a lifetime
Can’t wait to get my hands on one ! I already got 3 spinfisher 5 love em !!
Got my first spinfisher as a present from my dad. I'm hoping it will last until my son turns my age.
it will
well as long as you dont drop it in 50 feet of water.
Maintenance 😂
Im going to test out my SpinFisher 8500 reel to see if i can hit the Bonita and Yellowtail. It’s tuff to locate the perfect Penn rod to pair it with here in Los Angeles.
Awesome video and reels
the 2500 live liner gonna be fun! looking forward to that

The answer is gomexus handle

Seriously looking at buying a Spinfisher 6500 for next years Norway Halibut trip.
And yet another sexy reel from penn
Very nice! Can't wait to hit the German market.
hi PENN , can i put a spinfisher VI cnc gear on my old spinfisher ssv ? i have the 5500 model
2:40 Is that Rush from "Local Fishing Knowledge"?
Would this spinfinder be ok for rockfishing 350 ft deep and also big tuna, yellowtail, bonito, etc?
Something like the 7500 size would be just fine for yellowtail, and school size tuna. Exactly what are considered "big tuna" varies widely. For typical Southern California party boat use, spinning reels are less practical once the tuna re over 50 pounds, and anything over 100 pounds in that environment is virtually impossible.

Greatest news this year! I’m pumped!!!
May i ask, what rods on first minut ? Thanks
What is the biggest vintage saltwater spinner that I can maintain and fix myself?
Really, any of our spinning reels can be serviced by yourself - with some general maintenance knowledge, and some help from UA-cam. If you would rather have a trained professional take care of it, we also offer reel servicing.
Will a 5500 fit the Fenwick HMG Inshore 8’ heavy? My 4500 falls out and my battle 2 6000 fits but is a little on the heavy side!
Are the spools interchangeable between the v and vi 7500 longcasts?
No.
Any idea when spare parts are going to be available for the LiveLiners? None of the Penn suppliers have parts stock. I need line roller bearings BADLY!
Non-USA sources may have shortages, but besides the PENN service department itself, best source is MysticParts.com
Cant wait to get one of these
what rod should i pair with the spinfisher v6500? im looking to use it from boat with swimbaits and maybe some casting from land.

Damn they thought of every type of fishing style when they came out with this!

Hi.. live liner 8500 or normal 9500 is better to bye plz reply.
The live liner is better for fishing live bait!
Awesome I can't wait to have one of those on my hands Penn reels are the best ever💪🤙👍🎣
hola amigo felicitaciones cuando ya esta en el mercado disponible
Can someone explain the differences of the sub series? what does live liner and all that mean
Live Liner means you can cast your bait out, then have what amounts to "free spool" like with a conventional reel. This lets the fish swallow the bait, and you can then engage the drag and set the hook normally.
Wow this guy is lucky to have all those in front of him. Penn is King
Excelent!!! Saludos desde Trelew Chubut Argentina!!!
I am going to fish for a sailfish and kingfish next month, anyway I can try one of your reel? I can post review after my fishing.
Hi there! Thanks for thinking of PENN. We're not currently expanding partnerships at this time, but we'll let you know should anything change. Fish on!

What braid was on that 8500 live liner
What the rod in this video sir?
There are several different rods in this video, which can all be found on our website!

Tuyệt vời 👍👍👍
Hey Penn... no LiveLiners with Bail-Less? Some of us fish in inlets/piers/jetty where current/tide is strong and we still need to cast the thing far out of the rocks.
Hey, there. No LiveLiner with Bail-less, but we do offer the Spinfisher VI in live liner and bail-less models (just not together in 1 model).

Great bos
Penn is the BEST hands down
People in Indonesia.. We Love PENN
Do you have a reel cover that fits the 10500? Or one you suggest?
Hey, Valerie. In the PENN neoprene cover lineup, the XLGSRC [Extra-Large] size will fit the SSVI10500 spinning reel. It's available at your fishing tackle retailer or on our website: bit.ly/2AYlVA9
wth happened to that yellowtail in the video
I will buy one
What are the rotors made out of and how many bearings does this reel have? These reels do look great though.
Rotors are metal. Full specs will be available after the "official" debut at the ICAST show in July.
5+1 bearings all models.
Great marketing spin ,,, to recover from the disaster of the spinfisher V !!!!
Good product
I’d prefer a reel just like this without the seals. I can just imagine how many times during maintenance that the seals will break.
Penn Battle 3 DX is what you asked for.
looks like I will be buying another reel
