Thread: Penn

Hi everyone, I bought two penn fierce combos in 8' med light and spooled them up with Ande 16# line. Does this sound like a good outfit ? And does anyone have any thoughts on the fierce line from Penn?
thanks Bear

I have a fierce 6000 on a 7 1/2 foot med action rod that I have killed a few kings with and have not had any issues with. I always rinse mine out good and spray them with reel magic after use. Good reels for the money if only using them occasionally and not wanting to spend a ton of money on gear.

Thanks, I should of ask first but I didn't know about this board before I had already got them. I know most stuff Penn makes is pretty good and I will only use about once a year so didn't want to spend a lot.

Hey, man, it's Penn, you can't really go wrong with Penn, I don't like the pursuit, but that is the only Penn reel I don't like. Penn is the best reel company there is...........

This is true, it's the rod that worries me more then the reel. The price of the combo vs. the price of the reel the rod is worth about 20 bucks. I guess if the rod is junk I can always find a good one down there
