PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The Penn Battle III 4000 - now stronger, smoother and more durable than ever before. By matching our proprietary CNC Gear Technology, HT-100 carbon fibre drag system, and a Full Metal Body, the Battle III has the guts and drag to handle serious abuse. The Battle III series has a model for every angler, at an incredible value.

This is a solid mid range reel with included carbon fibre drag. Even at it's RRP it's already good value. At 50% off, it's very very cheap. I've bought 2. Now I just need to find a deal on some good braid…which will end up being almost as much as the reel itself.

    what size is best for surf fishing? do all the models have the exact same features?

      Bigger is generally better for surf fishing.

      • JURBA on 10/08/2024 - 20:31

        thanks frondono.. are these reels beginner friendly?

          Both 5000 and 6000 ok for surf fishing but as mentioned, bigger is better.
          Also a good quality reel suitable for all fishos

          There's reely not much to reels.

          This one is pretty good quality with a decent drag. It's not really designed to haul in tuna, but should be more than enough for 99% of estuary use.

          If you're doing casual surf fishing it should be decent. If you're a beginner, you probably won't be whipping out a 12ft beach rod anyway.

          • JURBA on 10/08/2024 - 20:53

            @PCHammond: my next question was should i get a 12ft beach rod ><D as a beginner? and if so do you have any models you recommend to go well with the Penn battle 6000 i just ordered one thanks man!

            • PCHammond on 10/08/2024 - 20:56
              +1

              @JURBA: If you want to, why not?

              Bear in mind they are a pain to store and transport. But if that's what you enjoy then go for it.

              I don't have any recommendation for beach rods. I only do boat and the occasional estuary shore fish

              • JURBA on 10/08/2024 - 21:10

                @PCHammond: thanks man.. i got a 5000 also because.. i just heard off a yt video it might be less bulky than the 6000, but holds less line, which is fine by me. And two rods are always better than 1 ><D.

                  @JURBA: For a beginner surf caster, i recommend a shorter, say 10ft rod, youll often get as much distance from it due to the improved control/handling.

                  Nothing wrong with a a 12 ft though and there are alot around.

                    @Sandaz: thanks man! great advice ^^ will try find one

    • krellious on 10/08/2024 - 22:02

      Are you using baits or lures? What size rod do you have? I find 4000 with 20lb braid paired with a 9ft 5-8kg rod to be prefect for metal lures and for bait.

  • JURBA on 10/08/2024 - 21:12

    whats the shortest length in ft rod should do you recommend I pair up with this reel for surf fishing?

    • JaxSantiago on 10/08/2024 - 21:24

      Probably 10'6".

      • JURBA on 10/08/2024 - 21:27

        Awesome thanks JaxSantiago ^^D

  • JURBA on 11/08/2024 - 00:30

    can anyone recommend good braid for this reel for surf fishing on a 10'6"-12" rod?

      Ebay braid is decent. Much cheaper compare to Japanese braids at BCF.

      • JURBA on 11/08/2024 - 14:11

        Thanks for the tip!^^

      Have a look on aliexpress too.

      • JURBA on 11/08/2024 - 14:11

        Good idea thankyou!

        • frondono on 11/08/2024 - 14:33

          Amazon warehouse have a 8000 and 10000 reel for a little more.

      I'm of the opinion to buy brand name braid, so that you know it casts well and you have confidence of its breaking point.

      No use catching a good fish only for the line to fail unexpectedly. Same goes with terminal tackle.

      • JURBA on 11/08/2024 - 14:10

        Good point! Ive lost a few fish in the past due to line breaking! Thanks

    Push the boat out and buy quality braid.I use 50lb.as it's easier to handle & knot.If you're going to BCF the Daiwa J X8 (8 strand) is good value.Keep it away from your fingers though when fishing as it's capable of slicing easily.I've also been using Yellow TufLine XP.Good luck!

    • JURBA on 11/08/2024 - 14:10

      Good tip! Dont want to slice my fingers off hehe

  • JURBA on 11/08/2024 - 14:08

    Whats the general price range for a good qualutu braid? And high quality?

    • PCHammond on 11/08/2024 - 14:46
      +1

      Depends on your application and line length etc

      I like Daiwa J Braid, but I chuck alot of lures and try and go light. If you're chucking heavy baits with heavy sinkers, you won't need to worry about castability as much.

      I also like multi colour but that's really more of a gimmick

      I'm going with the Sufix braid pack:
      https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/861096

      I have ordered 2 packs. Going to respool some other reels too and probably upsize the braid (eg: 30lb on a 4000 sized reel on a 20lb rod).

      • JURBA on 11/08/2024 - 20:21

        awesome pack.. will all these braids work well on 5000 & 6000 on a 10-12ft surf rod? to catch fish in the surf/beach

        • PCHammond on 12/08/2024 - 12:37
          +1

          Should work well. If anything some may be a little heavy/strong
          But it depends on your rod as well and what fish you are targeting.

          • JURBA on 12/08/2024 - 12:51

            @PCHammond: Thanks for all the tips & advice mate.. cant wait to get out fishing again! Great weather for it, in viictoria anyways hehe

  • poloocelot on 13/08/2024 - 14:49

    Any rod recommendations for the 6000 reel ?
