Fierce™ Spinning Reel Product Review by PENN®

[StuckonLand]

What size fierce is that with the white line on it? Would it be good for casting lures?

[PENNfishing]

@StuckonLand We believe it was a 5000 size and yes it would be great for that purpose. If you can tell us what species you are targeting and where, we can provide the best size for you.

I was just given a 14ft rod for surf fishing. Which of these penn models should I get. I'm pretty new at this. Thanks in advance.

[PENNfishing]

@G33kH3r0 What species are you targeting and in what location? Thanks

[PENNfishing]

@G33kH3r0 Hi,

I think you said you are just starting so a 14ft rod will be a lot to handle but you might want to match the specs. of the rod up with the rating for the reel…..and to see how balanced the combo is once you loads the reel with line and put it on the rod….

A 7000 size would be a good fit for you to start. It really varies by angler but you'd probably be happy with that set up.

Is the Penn fierce 6000 good for casting lures to bonita,Spanish and maybe some king mackerel? If so which line would you use

[PENNfishing]

@MrSaltlife69 A lot of people use between 4000-6000. The 6000 would work but it might be a little big and a 5000 might be easier to cast if you aren't targeting larger species. 20-30lb SpiderWire UltraCast InvisiBraid is a good choice with a 50lb fluorocarbon leader. Your local tackle shop might be able to give you a good recommendation specific to your area, but the note above should help get you where you need.

How much 65 pound Power Pro will the 8000 series Fierce hold??

-Thanks

[PENNfishing]

@CJCFishing The 8000 size will hold 550/50lb, 450/65lb, and 390/80 lb braid. A braid you may want to consider as well is SpiderWire UltraCast Invisibraid

[srreed5]

Can I use the 4000 and catch tarpon and snook if I put 30 pound braid on

[PENNfishing]

@srreed5 The 4000 would work fine for snook. But for tarpon you might want to step up to a 5000 or 6000. Many people also add a heavier fluocarbon leader to the braid for tarpon fishing.

[srreed5]

@PENNfishing Thanks I think ill still go with the 4000 because i like the handle on the reel better and if it can handle snook where i live the tarpon aren't much bigger thank you anyway lots of help.

[srreed5]

@PENNfishing O and what would be best for mahi mahi

[PENNfishing]

@srreed5 If your pitching bait to mahi a 5000 or 6000 would be best.

[playtapus]

no other reel that i have used is better than a penn, i love them

[trophy2052]

I've caught a few fish on my new 6000 fierce no problems so far. A far cry form the captive that I am sorry to say was a piece of crap in salt or brackish water.

[PENNfishing]

@trophy2052 Thanks for the note. The Fierce is a big upgrade from the Captiva. We no longer carry the Captiva as we agree this is a far superior product.

[SuperJetlife]

what size do you recommend for fishing back waters? (redfish)

[PENNfishing]

@SuperJetlife A 4000 or 5000 is a good choice.
