Title: Looks good so far
Review: To me the reel looks legit and sturdy, with a high drag setting and well made parts. The two problems I noticed off the bat were that the amount of line that it can fit and what actually goes on is different. It says it will fit 345 yards of 80 lbs braided line, and I got to maybe 275 before I felt like I was pushing my limits. Still more than enough but whatever. The other thing is the handle and the screw across from is are independent of one another, which is strange. Oh well we’ll see how my opinion changes when I hook into a monster with it.

Title: High quality for the price
Review: I'm used to the cheap reels that come with a combo set. After splurging on this reel. It was worth it. Super smooth, everything is tight. Usually the reel arms are loose or jiggle. But not with this one. I can feel the smoothness of the bearings. Time will tell on how it holds up

Title: Amazing reel, better than the competition especially considering value.
Review: Considering reels have skyrocketed in price, you simply cannot go wrong with this reel, the price is right the quality is good, the strong metal body and smooth drag is a plus! This reel can do anything a reel that cost 2 to 3x more can do just as well. I bought the 8000 size which is perfect for surf or strong river fishing.

Title: Smooth Performance and Reliable Construction
Review: First and foremost, the smoothness of this reel's operation is unmatched. Whether casting out a lightweight lure or battling a hefty catch, the Pursuit IV delivers consistently fluid motion, thanks to its precision-engineered design. This smoothness not only enhances the overall fishing experience but also ensures precise control over lure presentation and fish fighting.Durability is another area where the Pursuit IV shines. Constructed with high-quality materials and built to withstand the rigors of saltwater environments, this reel is a dependable companion for both casual outings and intense fishing adventures. I've subjected it to saltwater spray, sand, and challenging weather conditions, and it has held up admirably without compromising performance.Overall, I can't recommend the PENN Pursuit IV Spinning Fishing Reel highly enough. Whether you're a seasoned angler or just starting out, this reel delivers the perfect combination of performance, durability, and value. Invest in the Pursuit IV, and you'll be reeling in memorable catches for years to come.

Title: Made for Braid !!!...Smooth Action! Semi-Pro Freshwater Slayer...
Review: My 1st 'newer' Penn reel,( I have many from the 70's). I bought it for Freshwater, all around use in Streams and ponds in NH. Using 15lb test Magreel (Amazon)Black Braided line, which is Super thin, same thickness as 4lb Mono line, but 15lb strength. The Penn I bought was a Pursuit III, 2500 Series and it perfectly matched with a 1 piece, 6 foot Medium-Light action Berkley "Shock" rod. The small diameter braid allowed me to spool 275+ yds on it. I like a full spool, so I can cut off 6 foot or so after tough brush/rocky fishing. Perfect for Truck,Trail/Train Track fishing! 1 spool up lasts me a whole season (75+ trips)!!! I mostly fish Trout and the occasional Bass/Pickerel pond up here in New England. The reel is nice, light and Incredibly smooth...better than ANY Box Store combo...Hands down. The 1st thing i noticed was the fact that it doesn't reverse like all the 'sloppy' cheapo reels, what I mean is, when you stop reeling, if you try to back-pedal, it won't! ...And that is a GOOD thing !! If you have any experience fishing you'll know the deal, you cast, you reel forward to close the bail, and the bail 'rolls back' spitting the line off your reel...THIS Reel solves that!! It will not reverse! Locks tight. Some reels allow 'Free Bail' (Backwards Reeling), this reel does Not, No switch/lever...this is PRO Level Stuff for the regular guy... I like that, some don't...It does allow you to switch the handle to either side, So you won't be that guy that "fishes upside down" we have all seen....The reel is very impressive with a 6:2 to reel 1 ratio, super smooth casting and incredible carbon fiber drag washers! no more oil/felt ancient tech here! It had nice Marine Grade Blue grease on the gears and components, and was ready to rock. This is "Braid Friendly", so the spool has a nice black rubber insert so you can spool braided line with a basic knot, and be done with it. No 'Line-Slip' !!! Nice Job Penn !!! and Thank You ! This reel works with Mono too, but why would you? Mono is outdated. A hair thin braided line is invisible in ANY water, not as UV sensitive, MUCH stronger by average 400% in relation to size. You can fish a whole season with it. KUDOS to Penn for making a great Reel in the under $50 range !!! I love it, and I'm ordering a 3000 Series Penn Pursuit 3 Reel for a 7' Ugly stick to chase Big Lake Trout and Bass off the boat this summer ! Super impressed with Penn, Again !!!!

Review: for the price point of this reel i would want better quality .the cap for handle was off in the box weak glue and plastic the handle had way to much play for comfort i had high hope i guess don't recommend. I also purchased a sienna Shimano for half the cost and it is flawless in comparison

Review: Es un arma muy buena para el combate en el mar, un poco pesado para mi porque al termino de la jornada de pescar termine cansado del brazo pero sin duda trabaja muy bien, lo bauticé con 2 pescados el día de hoy, sin duda alguna contento con mi compra.

Review: La boîte dans laquelle se trouvait le moulinet était très amoché. Décevant recevoir un article de ce prix dans un état ainsi.
