Amazing brand fisho- we can’t fault them🤙🏻🎣 as you know, Andrew is a Penn Slammer fan🎣😉

I find the penn fierce 3 range to he just as good as the battle

Very close, but there are subtle differences that make the battle significantly better. An example is something as simple as the clicker mechanism on the shaft, battle has slammer style while fierce is the same as the entry level wrath. The non serviceable bearings are another difference. Surprisingly at the moment the battle iii is on special and at roughly the same price as the fierce 4

Besides Dons comment, I think that Penn make great reels- this coming from a Penn fan. They are all good reels. BUT, you can tell the difference for sure if you had to strip the 2 down to bare bones and put them back together🤙🏻

The fierce3 for the money is a nice reel. But the fierce had one less bearing and are not cnc cut. They fierce 3 also has shielded bearing while the battle 3 has sealed. The new fierce 4s are sealed like the battle but syill one less bearing and from what I understand still not cnc cut

I’ve seen some American KZreadrs really put the DX through some serious work off their piers on king mackerel , giant Shad etc solid reels .

The DX is very well rated and if you not after a reel that can handle constant dunking they might not be sealed, but quality reel that delivers

@@benico341 Hi Ben just fitted a 5000 dx to your rod and it balances well. Line capacity is 300yds 30lb braid. The 6000 does also balance but weighs more and will tire you faster, might be tempted to go 6000 if targeting big gt in Mozambique or Angola, but for local shore casting except perhaps for yellowtail the 5000 should be ideal

Thank you, smart review. Am surprised that some PENN,s are made in China like the PENN PERFORMER..

Unfortunately a lot has moved to the East. BUT, with that said- you get QUALITY and quality (I don’t know how to make that any different🤣). China is known for poor quality and great quality… obviously Penn would stick to their strict control measures despite not being made in the US🎣

Sadly Penn hide it on a small sticker inside the rotor, Alan Hawk had a hectic rant about it, all other brands display it externally and some sites in the USA say made in the USA which is not true but people percieve it as such

Did Penn discontinue the Battle III DX??? I can only find the Battle III and not the DX on their main site!

I like the Penn Battle 3 dx, thanks for the great videos you make. What size would you recommend to pair with a Assassin Amia Zero 11ft xh rod. I want to use this setup for spinning and bait casting? Tight lines

@donczns

4 ай бұрын

A 5000 should work well. Holds enough braid and a fair bit lighter than the 6000, naybe check the weight and specs against what you have, I will fit one on a amia the same as yours, let you know my 2 cents

If that was mentioned, we apologise🫣

While the reels are great go to the store to buy one. There customer service sucks if you order one from the site you can’t talk to a person don’t bother leaving a voicemail nobody will call you back. If they treat you like this when you order one you can imagine how there warranty would work!!
