Thread: Penn reel for pier fishing?

thanks for the advice Fin, but can anyone tell me a levelwind for around 2 bills that will work, I hate spinners but I do have one that will work

The fathom would probably work ok, just not that big of one, get like a 20 or 25 for the pier if that's what you want. It will hurt your casting ability some using a level-wind but whatever floats your boat.

Why spend that much?
A Penn Long Beach 66 or 9M should do the job nicely.
That was 'standard pier equipment' back in the 1970s.
I'm partial to my Penn Squidder though ;-) :fishing: :headbang:

Pier#r, you can't take it with you!!! that's my motto lol spend while you've got it, if I don't she will, lol, oh yeah and I make more everyday!!

Buy a Finchaser, works really well!!!

If u must,like Dave said an ol school 65, maybe an ambassador 7000 or a penn 970. Btw,not a good day to b a hawgfan

Yeah I realize that, bring BP back, lol

Arkansas has not seen suckin like that since Clinton left...lmfao...

I hate to bring politics into this but, I wish this country had Clinton back

Since you are a bass fisherman I give it to you in bass terms. Most people use a spinner because of the casting ability and more water covered more opportunities to catch a fish. That reel is not meant to be cast like a bait caster. that type of reel is good for trolling or a bottom dropping. There are plenty post on here about this topic. If momma gave the OK I would call J&M and see what kind of setup I could get for the money.
