Penn makes the best fishing reels in the world
If you can see the Penn name on a fishing reel then you can be sure that it is a quality made product. This spinning reel has their live-liner feature which is great for bait fishing. It allows you to set a bait out and use the live-liner secondary drag which allows a fish to pick up the bait and run with it without feeling any significant drag resistance . Then, when you decide to set the hook you can engage the primary drag and fight the fish. It’s a wonderful system that works really well. In fact, once you use it you’ll wonder how you got along without it. Besides the overall excellent quality of their products, one of the best things that I can say about Penn is the company’s commitment to its customers. penn’s customer service and support has always been outstanding. Should you ever need parts or repair, their service is quick and reasonably priced. You will absolutely love your Penn reels.

This reel was good enough that I needed two of them.
I initially purchased a Penn Spinfisher VI 4500 model to fish for large hybrid on the Ohio River using live gizzard Shad as bait. The reel performed perfectly with an impressively smooth drag. If you’ve ever caught big hybrid then you know how fast they can run and how reliant you are on your rod and reel’s performance. I had the idea use the reel to troll A-rigs as well. Which led to the purchase on a 2500 model that I now use to troll for saugeyes, walleyes, or small hybrid. The the optional bait runner drag turned out to be perfect for trolling. It sets the hook with the right amount of tension needed to keep the fish on before picking up the rod and reel and with a quick reel you activate your desired drag for fighting a nice sized fish. If you fish with braided line this reel has another feature I appreciated. The reel has a rubber ring around the inside of the spool to keep braid from slipping. All in all this reel quickly became a favorite go to reel for me whether I’m trolling, or fishing with live bait.

Penn over everything everytime.
I've had my 6500 ll for 6 years now and I have landed 100s of carp with the largest of them pushing over 35 inches. The reel just performs. Using the live liner feature while bottom fishing has increased my hookup ratio tremendously. I don't have to worry about my rod getting snatched in either. Just drop the latch and it's good to go. I bottom fish off of power dams and in moderate current on the flint river with it from spring to fall and it just performs consistently. I can't recommend the 6500 enough it'd probably be uncomfortable using to target fish with but it's not made for that it's made to throw your bait, set it, and forget it. Pair it with 30lb braid and casting will be effortless. You'll go from fighting fish to working the fish in. The only thing you'll be worrying about is not ripping the hook out from to much tension. Get your confidence back when it comes to landing those larger fish buy the reel you won't be disappointed.

Strong and built like a Tank!
I have been using Spinfishers for a few years and they are very tuff and reliable reels. I have the 8500 LL models loaded with 80lb braid. And it has handled 60+ pound catfish, 100+ lbs alligator gar, 6+ foot bull sharks, and 50+ inch bull reds! And have not had any issues. However on Spinfisher I do not like the new live line drag system. I prefer the rear drag on V model. Reeling and casting is smooth! Left or right handed has a big power handle on it. Drag is strong and smooth.

Don't be fool
I wanted to like this reel and I had high expectation for this reel, but it turns out to be nothing but disappointments. The reel is heavier than expected, it's not ideal having this heavy reel in your hands for all day surf fishing. The casting is weak and subpar, it doesn't cast as well and far as some of my cheaper reels, not even close, I expected better for a $200 reel. The live liner sucks, it doesn't make a lot of noises, it's very quiet. The the preset tension settings are too tight, even on the lowest setting the fish have to pull extra hard where your rod start bending for the live liner to activate, which defeats the purpose of the fish not feeling the tension on the line. It's not as simple to adjust the sensitivity/tension of the live liner function as other reels with baitrunner. The reel is not smooth at all, you have to put in extra effort to reel it in, feels like there's some resistance. Retrieve is slow and it makes a lot of noises for some reason when reeling it in. This reel is not worth the money, it's probably one of the worst reel for the price range. Glad I was able to return it.

bait runner feature
Bait runner feature works great just a tad bit too tight sometimes at the lowest settings, can be adjusted but not that much. Best coarse of action to lighten the secondary drag would be to service the secondary drag or remove a washer. Reel feels solid works great

These live liners are the business. I still use my pair from 9years ago. The VI is the better of the VII due to brass internal components. I've had some cracking fish runs on the live liner, it just zips off while your having beer and cigarettes. It's a no rush reel, relaxing to use and solid.

Buen carrete, pero a la cuarta salida en agua salda ya se sentía algo duro, el uso es en kayak por lo que se moja en los trayectos con agua salada, a pesar de que se enjuaga con agua dulce después de su uso. En general excellent solo por ese detalle que no había tenido con los daiwa.
