That was a fantastic review. Great to get an independent perspective and see such good results. As always, thanks a million for another brilliant review. Dave

Penn has gotten better over the years. This is good to see. Glad you conduct these tests to show the validity of a reel manufacturers claims. I owned a slammer V and it was the first serious reel I ever owned and it kicked ass. I'll be looking to get one of these come Christmas

And Rew but they still catch fish right? Only until recently, you got what you pay for. But look at the BG by daiwa. The reel is 100 bucks and it performs like a 300 dollar reel. The tech in reels is getting cheaper to put in bargin priced reels lately. It's no shock that penn is making really good stuff lately, but youre seeing that in their 200+ dollar reels. Not super cheap, but not shimano prices either. But that being said, I have a penn clash 6000 that caught me 27 blackfins from 6 to 24 pounds over three jigging trips. Reel still works fine. Caught a 120 pound lemon shark on a 6500 Spinfisher V, landed it and the reel still worked fine.

And Rew my point is they started getting better again with the spinfisher v and the torque around 2012. When pure fishing bought them, they kept getting better year after year. Kind of hard for me to say they've gotten better only recently. I am aware several were coming of the line defective, but I've seen reels of all prices by all manufacturers faiI. But I caught fish on trips to the same extent everyone around me was when they were using shimanos, daiwas etc., and without issue.

Wow penn has really stepped up their game recently! Good to see and awesome vid keep them coming

Have no idea how I found your channel but I’m damn sure glad I did

That's great news because yesterday I bought a Penn Spinfisher 6 & a Slammer 3 for my spining & surf fishing set-up's. Can"t wait to go fishing for Bass & Cod in Cornwall next week.

My 8500 Spinfisher vi went overboard on my kayak offshore and dangled by my leader 4 feet underwater for about 15 seconds and it ended up totally full of saltwater and bricked a week later. Smelled like the sea when I cracked open the side plate and the insides were toast. I had been using the reel for 2 years at that point though so it was well worth the money.

I was on the fence between this reel & the Slammer. I'm leaning more towards the LL model for "chunking". Great videos with tons of useful info . Thanks!

Thanks to teach us everything related to reels. Different reels to rule one thing, a fish. Some better than others with its weakness but at the end all of them are created to enjoy fishing.I understand that most people like us want to spent money wisely. At the end a better reel don't make us a better fisherman. Happy fishing!!

Been waiting for this video!

Dude! Love your videos. These are making the Spinfisher V cheap. I bought a Spinfisher V yesterday for $80 bucks. Great boat reel. Taking it out after Sheeps and Reds tomorrow. Can't wait for the Tsunami Salt X review from you. I think I'll buy one. Already have the Shield. Get us a tear down of the Salt X please!

Great review, gonna purchase it. This is gonna be perfect to surf fish the bull red run down here in Texas. You did a hell of a job reviewing this reel.

Thank you so much for this. Have you done this test with BG MQ? I'm trying to decide between the two.

Liked as soon as i saw dishwashing action...

My spinfisher 6 became almost unusable after taking it out on the kayak in the surf one time. It makes a horrible noise and feels like a $25 Walmart reel when you crank it. I’ve since upgraded to the slammer and I couldn’t be happier. It’s worth every penny extra.

Love it!!

Could you do a casting test between a spinfisher and a same sized Longcast (Lc) spinfisher. Use the same type of line and rod. Id like to see how much actual distance you can gain because of the LC features, namely spool design and slow oscillation line lay. Is a LC reel really worth it or is it just hype? You’re just the guy to do a honest test.

Hi there, love you vids. Hey does the new spinfisher VI have the same weird pinion support as you show in the slammer 3 video? I am now worried as I have bought the 8500 model Slammer III, and I will be using it to catch large sharks. Should I have got the 10500 Slammer III? I heard you mention that the 9500/10500 slammer III has a better support (if that's the case, what supports it in the 2 largest models? I haven't spooled it up yet or used it so I could swap it for the 10500/9500. Would you suggest this size for large Amberjacks/Sharks/Groupers ?. Also is there any difference internally between the spinfisher VI & slammer III? I know they both have brass CNC cut gears etc. Also I have access to new old stock saltiga s-extreme (pre-mag sealed) in maroon/silver. You mention above they are waterproof? also would this be a good buy for $800 u.s.? Thank you for your help & awesome knowledge so much! David down under :)

Nice review of definitely looks water resistant, can you compare it to the previous model as far as new gears? Thanks in advance.

Hi mate, just a quick question I can't seem to find any info on it anywhere. Is the main and pinion gear in the new spinfishers 7500 and up the same as in the old ones or have the upgraded it?

Thanks Michael......it's a bit tricky....Mine lacked the hydrophobic coating found on this one.. I asked penn what was up and they said it should be there but it's likely missing due to it being pre production. Assuming it's supposed to be there.....The axle seals, perimeter seals and sealed bearings are the same throughout...the differnce is the shape of the top pinion bearing retainer cover......with a fancy perimeter seal up top there.....and the ani revers on off switch uses a flat rubber seal. So it's the most sealed LC reel we have seen stateside....It is a worm gear and lays line very nicely. It's more sealed than any shimano LC reel outside the Fliegen (which i'm not 100% sure on how they do it) But all that said.....all the other LC reels are carp reels....this is very obviously NOT..it's heavy and very overbuilt. No wirey handles or bails...thick main shaft and heavy gauge guts and internal support rods.....Great reel actually. Quite surprised

Acabei de adquirir um ,10500 e muito show.

Still primitive with the oscillating bracket there. They need to put a shaft on it. Other brands moved light years ahead of Penn already.

What is the main gear made from?

Did you use saltwater?

I recently bought the Penn 4500 VI Bailess and sampled a bunch of Penn SS VI reels over the counter and the gearing in them are very smooth equally to the Daiwa BG 4000 & 4500 reels I bought last summer, Penn defiantly improved the CNC gears in the new SSVI. I'm curious to know what's your take on the retainer cup that you couldn't remove to get at the pinion and lower bearing on this VI reel because I never had a problem with it working on all my Penn reels except my old Sargus that I used for a while and stopped using it and when I decided to open and maintain the reel the retaining cup was fused to the metal of the housing and I couldn't remove it, and I wound up scraping that old reel for parts. FYI, If it ain't broken don't fix it I'm not opening my new reels unless they need to be repaired in the future. Your autopsy breakdown videos have been a very helpful and a very insightful tool for maintaining all these reels, keep up the good work, THKS !

@@morganahmed6245 I have the Penn Bailess 4500 reel it's not a bad reel and I bought it over the counter in 2018 @ my local bait & tackle store. The weak point is I wish the reel was a little bit bigger. It's not pervious to the elements and sand got caught up underneath of the rotor head it messed up the gearing. I changed the gears myself and it works okay now. As far as value & weight it's about the same as the Daiwa BG 4000, and the 4500 VI is a slightly smaller reel and as far as being water proof they're about the same, but the Penn is not as smooth as the Daiwa BG. The thing is every Penn reel I have ever bought on line that looked like a bargain wound up being a lemon where the reel that I bought what seemed to be a factory second and the gears weren't smooth and I replaced gears myself to make them work right. Buying a reel on line that might look like a bargain and may wind up being a lemon and a real hassle to repair. I recently purchased a NIB older model Penn Clash on sale this past February over the counter and it's smooth. My advice to you is not to buy a reel on line. When you go to your tackle store you can hold the reel in your hand and feel how the gearing feels when you crank it. When you see a reel for sale on eBay and read the posting by the seller that says New & Refurbished means he's selling refurbished factory seconds & returns for what you'd think is a bargain, but they're defective ! And you'll see the guy selling the same reels that aren't refurbished for the regular price. Beware, your best bet is even if you pay the regular price over the counter at least you know what you're getting on the spot and won't be disappointed. Be Well - Peace.

Ya know he said he caught a bunch of yellowfin on a torque one...even posted pics of the fish......well the captain of the boat posted them pics the day after the charter on his site (caught on stellas).....and the torque wasn't even on the market for 2 or 3 years. And he injured himself palming th espool boatside when it made a run..lol

No brass main gear though. thanks

Where do you think they are cutting costs to make it the price it is?

Does anyone have any idea how much money you`d have to spend for Daiwa or Shimano in order for it to be made in Japan?...I may be wrong but the only two spinning reels I know of is the Stella and Saltiga.

certate hd ? some cheap prices on em since they didn't sell well in japan and some jdm distribution found it's way here and was allowed to be sold cheaply. The exsence is japan but small. Twinpower sw? can't remember of hand. But that's it really I think

? i've pulled cheap walmart reels out of the lake that work just fine. Most open face reels aren't waterproof because it's not really necessary

Big difference between saltwater and freshwater intrusion.

Does this reel come in a 4000 or 3000?

Yes. I like everything about it. Great line lay. Very smooth. Great drag. Only thing I don't like is the handle knob. But it's not the end of the world

@@NasalObstruction Yeah. Not the end of the world. But odd. The metanium dc's dc brake coating had the same effect. But it peeled back and hit the spool causing issues. Had to melt it until smooth again lol. Only other time alcohol damaged paint in my experience. (not saying there aren't any others that it would. Just none i came across.

also worth mentioning that it's line lay is more even in appearance than the saragossa's. Fished a friends 6k last night and we compared them. (for what that's worth

Just haven't gotten around to them in all honesty. Haven't used many of their reels other than one recently and not for much time.. Definitely not enough to form an opinion other than it's just a reel lol

I think you should epoxy a hook on nemo, and take him out for a spin.
