Anyone ever used these? I want to be a cheaper set up in the truck for when I’m working near isolated locations. Seems like a good price for a brand name. I was thinking of getting the 3000 size. Any input is appreciated
Really good for the money. No Bells No Whistles. But no Issues. Keep it rinsed out with freshwater. Grease it every now and then. Great knockaroumd reel
No matter how many variables I have control over, I never expect a bite. I only hope.
Got 2 4000’s I have had for about 4 years that I use surf fishing. No problems. Hard to beat for the money.
Make sure that the rod isn’t what Penn puts on their Fierce 2 package. I bought 2 and the plastic lining on the islets came out of several islets on both rods on the same trip. I kept the Fierce 2 reels and put them on a Shakespeare rod that has sturdier 1-piece islets.

^^^^^ What jg said. I have always been a Penn fan but have fallen out of favor with their rods. Inserts popping out of the guides all of the time.
