Penn BTLII1000 Battle II Spinning Reel

Excellent reel can’t wait to go fishing but every Penn reel I own they have been great

Like everything you get what you pay for, and this is no exception. If you take care of it you wont have any issues.

Pen reels are great. They stand up to use day in and day out!

Cant overstate that this reel is good if you TAKE CARE OF IT. If you don't....well

Durable reel , but really need to focus on taking care of it or else it will go quick.

I use this reel for jigging tiny lures for snappers and groupers. The reel is built like a tank, is very smooth, have a decent drag and is very resistant to saltwater. I highly recommend this reel.

Bought the 5000 version and have used it from jetting fishing to taking the charter boats out onto the recks. Really holds its own.

This has been a great reel for pitching to dolphin schoolies. Durable and reliable.

this is a good, solid reel from a company that has been doing it a long time. The drag is smooth and the bail is solid. It's a great reel for the money, and certainly will the demands of a weekend warrior!

I own a 3000, 4000 and 2 6000s and if you are someone looking for a reel to get started with look no further. The penn battle 2 is a great reel I've owned one for almost 4 year. Keep the reel well maintained with oil and grease and the reel will last you.

awesome reel, that handles tons of different fish

These Penn reels are absolutely amazing. They are tough, reliable, and made well. I use them constantly from April to November in intense salt water action.

I own many penn battle reels, they're great reels for the money. The penn battle series is one of the smoothest fishing reels I've fished. I fish mine atleast twice a week and it holds up great! The only flaw of the reel is how easily the bail closes

Overall this is a good reel for the price but it's only a matter of time before it will be trash. I've had this reel for around two years and it still is in working condition but the spool is starting to pit due to saltwater fishing. I took the drag apart to grease the washers and notice the corrosion around the drag system. The screws holding the drag washers in place are soft and I stripped one out, I drilled the screw out to grease drag. The drag knob has a rubber seal on it to keep water out but it doesn't work, it better than nothing though. Ive greased the gearing of the reel a few time just be careful of the fragile plastic holding the parts in place. For the price it is a good reel but if your looking for a reel that will last along time this is not it.

I am using it in casting and light jigging , strong and smoth
