Thanks for the video. I just recently picked up a 9/0. Sent it to Penn for maintenance and to have it converted to a left hand reel. Can't wait to use it.

@@843Landbased Just saw this. I already sold it. But I think you can order them from Bass Pro - not sure of the price.

You can spool them with moi moi monofilament or dacron. I prefer braid and a top shot of mono. Typically 80 to 100lb braid.

That's the Pinnacle saltwater baitcasting reel. I have caught a ton of snapper on that combo.

People mainly use these reels for large sharks off of the beach or piers. You can also use them for large game offshore.

What you think of the Offshore Angler SeaFire Conventional Saltwater Reel - Model SF9/0 2.55:1,for someone who wants to start? But I also looking into the Daiwa 6500,ill mostly do catfish,but wanna take it to Mexico aswell

Hey on your 9/0 you have an additional support at the very top of the reel. What is that piece called?

Hello, the 9/0 you can purchase for about $175.00 and you can purchase a 12/0 for $250 - 300.

helpful video thanks, but I have a question : there is no line guide on these reels so when reeling in how do you get even distribution of line on the reel drum as opposed to a pile up in one place?

@Saltyscales

Hello Joseph, I personally am not a big fan of line guides due to mechanical failure and restriction. For reels without them you would just manually guide the line with your index finger and thumb.

Thanks for the reply 👍👍 it seems rather odd that such a powerful reel wouldn't have like a powerful line guide to match, I can't imagine it would be easy guide the line especially with a big fish on?

Whats a good budget rod for a Penn Senator 9/0?

If I was to fill a 9/0 with 80 lb braid and 100lb mono, what rod would you suggest, I have a lonely 30-50 rod that I believe will have to stay lonely

very good thank you. Im thinking of getting a trolling reel for baja targeting sail fish and maybe tuna dorado ect...I was hoping to get away with using the 9/0 loading it with about 300 yards 100lb braid and the rest 70lb mono....any suggestions would be greatly appreciated ..thanks again. Obviously the price for the 12/0 is much more than for a 9/0 on ebay.

Caught 19 finning swordfish on the 12.0 2 went more than 10 hours tried the 9.0 it just didn't get it done locked up after 3 hours using 80 pound dacron

Were are the rodclamps??? from the 12/0 i mean.

What do you spool those large reels with?

nice video brother. I am just starting to get into the Penn reels. and shark fishing from the beach. Kayaking bait out and dropping them. sound advice on a good shark rod from the beach I know nothing about the type of fishing rods can you point me in the right direction. fishing from the beach thank you.

How much did the 12/0 cost?

A 12 /ot holds 1200 yards 100 lb test we were using these in the 80 s

What the rod you have on the 12/0

Would you recommend 12/0 or 9/0 for Goliath. Fishing by boat but near some structure. Most Goliath in my area range from 100 - 300 pounds. Thanks

I personally love a custom Calstar, seeker or St. Croix. For land based you probably want to stick with a 7.5, 8 foot rod.
