Thanks for the info i really apreciate it. since u guys know about penn reels im looking for something less than $100 and wanted your opinion. Should i go with a penn fierce, sargus, or battle? they are selling me a penn battle 4000 for $85 in new conditions, should i buy that or is there other suggestions? I most likely will use braided line..

@mrdiaz0108 i like the Sargus and Battle the best... I have used all the reels you have mentioned, and I would go with the ones I mentioned here. Definitely use braided line. I have had very good success with the Big Game 50 and 80 pound Moss Green Braid. Very strong... Can't beat it for the money.

@richielottoutdoors Im kind of on a low budget right now and wanted to ask if you know any braided line of 30lb thats not so expensive..?

[richielottoutdoors]

@mrdiaz0108 I dont know of any cheap braided line that will be any good.... Unfortunately, you almost have to buy the big name brands to have the scurity and peace of mind when you get a big fish on so you'll know the line is top shelf. Also remember, it'll last years in most cases..... Normally last longer than the reel in most cases. Just "top shot" the braided line and use mono for backing. About 1/2 a spool of mono, then top it off with braid. If you do it that way, it'll save you big bucks.

May i ask what bait do you guys use for snapper? Is cut bait or squid good?

[richielottoutdoors]

@mrdiaz0108 We use about 99% cut bait and some buuterfly "knife" weighted jigs as well. The best cut baits in our area is chunked Bostom Mackerel which can be bought by the flat from commercial bait retailers in most areas and on the internet as well. Also, squid works great for Snapper, especially Vermilion AKA Beeliner Snapper. Visit my channel here on youtube if you need some further info or type Richie Lott in the youtube or google seach box. Thanks for watching!

@richielottoutdoors Hey, thanks for replying. I think it's more of a user issue instead of mechanical. I was told to put the reel in freespool, then turn the preset knob, then go to strike and test the drag. Is this correct? Also, once i've got my drag set, if I push the lever to full mode, is that the absolute highest drag or a certain amount of lbs higher than what my preset is? If you have any line advice for bottom fishing/maybe some light trolling that would be helpful too.

@richielottoutdoors AWESOME!!! I wish they hadn;t shut the snapper fishing down in GA as I mentioned in another reply here. Not a whole lot we can do when the govt. has deemed them overfished. they have their mind made up and they closed it. They have one year to act when a fishery is deemed overfished and if they dont have a solution by the end of that year, guess what.... They close it. The did exactly that.
