Pursuit V Spinning Reel

Durable, ample line capacity, smooth drive/reeling, good value for money.

I bought two of these reels and love both of them. I bought the size 6000 and size 8000 for saltwater fishing. Both are great reels. I've never bought a Penn reel that I was not satisfied with. This is a good looking and good performing reel, offered in different sizes for different needs. Highly recommended!

Smooth action and very solid! Not the most expensive in the world so I would say really great for it's price range!

This is my first time using this Preen Pursuit IV spinning fishing reel. I must say WOW it is build to allow me to cast long distances using a 12 foot fishing pole. The quality and workmanship of this spinning reel is outstanding very smooth in casting and winding in the line !

I'm giving this a 4 at this time for the 8000 size. Fat, heavy reel, even with the graphite casing, the 8000 is a beast . Did the research: best budget, easy to maintain, take apart, grease, wd40. Not overly protected for saltwater, and you can hear those bearings. But hey.., you get what you pay for. And this is best budget-budget. The drag adjustment is Sweet! Tons of adjustment.. Nice clicky! I bought this reel to mainly boat pitch, but still do inshore and pull big fish off a pier. Paired it with the Shimano Talvera 7' 30-65 lb. A roll of the Dorisea 40 lb braid at 328 yards is perfect. Then all you need is a swivel and some leader. Very stoked at this point. However, I would probably recommend the 6000 size before this. I think it's probably lighter and a better size for doing inshore and offshore. (more versatility) The 8000 is a pig. lol Hope that helps. (will update this)

Penn has always produced quality reels. this is no exception. The difference here is the price tag. while most quality reels cost well over $100, this delivers great performance at 1/2 that. It is a little heavier than other reels, but it is well made, smooth and powerful enough to land almost anything. More drag and line capacity than you'll ever need. There are smoother lighter reels available, but be prepared to pay $100-$200 more. Highly recommend for new anglers or someone who needs more than one setup.

Very good reel

Excellent quality. One thing to keep in mind is the weight; after an hour of fishing, you'll feel tired if you're holding the rod. I have mine paired with a 7'0 MH ugly stick rod (Complete saltwater kit)
