What I can tell you is that the standard 5000 is supposed to hold 180 yards of .014 mono , which is 12 lbs. The A in the model name is for a small shaft diameter spool which was intended to have more capacity. There doesn’t seem to be any more documentation than that. Thanks for watching and commenting!

@@joeblowjohnny2297 anytime you increase the number of parts in a reel, it makes them more likely to fail at some point and have a problem. However, my experiences with the Penns is that they are quite robust and one of the more trouble free designs. Thanks for watching and commenting.

I suspect that everyone who has one loves it. I just wish I could find and sell more of them since they are highly desirable. Thanks for watching and commenting.!

That kind of depends on what fish you are targeting, and where you are fishing from (Boat, pier, shore,…) and style (cast& retrieve, bottom fishing,trolling,…) With that extra info, I can do a better job of giving you a length, power and type of rod that would be preferable.

@@new2ufishing ok. Shore until I get a kayak, large gamefish, bass, pike, tiger muskie.

Cast and retreive an maybe live large minnows.

@@andrewp1998 i’d keep it short. 6 1/2 feet to 7 feet. Medium heavy power, and 12 to 20 pound weight range. That should give you quite a few choices. The reel might be a bit heavy for what you want to do. Good Luck!

@@new2ufishing thank you

@@steveallen648 the 750 is clearly the choice between the two of them, unless you are targeting sharks. When it’s about sharks, then bigger is better. Thanks for watching and commenting.!

The penn 109 was made for many decades. The 30-109 is not the serial number. It is just the part number of the reel seat. It’s very difficult to know when your specific reel was made. Sometimes the knob style on the handle crank is a clue, but that’s not always reliable and they were frequently swapped. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Unfortunately, I can’t answer that question even though it’s a good one. I have sold this reel on to somebody so I don’t have it in my possession to check it for you. Sorry about that.

@@new2ufishing Great, thanks for prompt reply. All the best!

I was surprised by your question so I went and looked at the penn website myself. I suspect they have made a model year change for some unexplainable reason, and just as you said, put only one knob on a bait caster. If you want the one with two knobs I would go to Tackle Direct and order the one that they have as it is shown with two knobs. Sometimes vendors make little changes like this. I see it on Daiwa quite frequently. Thanks for watching and commenting!

@@new2ufishing thanks for the reply.

I’m glad this clip brought back some nice memories for you. Thanks for watching and commenting!

That rod is a Savage Gear Browser C7111XH 7'11". Great Rod. Thanks for watching and commenting!!!

I don’t hear any clicker when retrieving according to this video clip. I’m not familiar with the 1600 C so I cannot confirm if it sounds the same or not. Thanks for watching and commenting!

@@new2ufishing yes the 1600 c does have that clicker sound I so love to hear when retrieving. Reminds me when I was a kid fishin with my dad back in the early 80s

Actually , It does not have a full time clicker on retrieve. Turns out I had another one in my video library without that music and it does not click. If your's does, there may be a problem with it that need to be checked. It's also possible they made more than one version of this reel and they could be slightly different. I've seen that before. Thanks for watching and commenting!!!

@@new2ufishing thanks for the fast reply I'm asking cuz I'm seeing the same brand but the model is the AT70 silstar and I was hoping that if that one had it then this one would too.but I guess not

@@dkat1108 yes, it’s shockingly well-made and I still have this one on the rack for sale. I can’t believe no one‘s bought it yet, but this model of Okuma is very underrated in my opinion, and it sounds like you would agree. Thanks for watching and commenting.

The Penn Pursuit IV does not need to use a mono backer before installing braid. It has a braid ready spool with the urethane ring that grips the braid that you install. Thanks for watching and commenting!

@@new2ufishing thankssssss

@@new2ufishing also subbed

How does it cast?

@@terrellpowell1465 the 2500 size is accurate for short and medium casts. If you need longer casts, get a larger size. They are very affordable.

The penn level wind is a great little Reel. I’ve bought and sold many of them over the years. I make all my little 30 second video clips and post them because they are more informative than a static photo for people that want to understand a reel in operation. I actually have hundreds in my RUclips library now so if you can’t get your hands on a particular physical Reel to see its operation, my video clips will show that to you. I make separate fishing videos, sometimes of repairs, sometimes of recipes etc… you can check out the other playlists on my channel to see those. Thanks for watching and commenting.

This particular model has been made for many years, so to be sure it’s necessary to look at the side plate. If it is made in USA, it will say so specifically. So you have to check. I no longer have this one anymore, so I can’t check it for you. Thanks for watching and commenting.

@@new2ufishing thank you for info

I no longer have the reel in my possession, as I sold it. But based on the video clip, the answer is, no it doesn’t. If yours does, that probably means there’s something wrong with it ; out of place or bent or damaged in some minor way.you’ll have to dig a little deeper. thanks for watching and commenting!

It’s not a Penn, but it is good.

You can do it! It can do it! Thanks for watching and commenting!

I am not familiar with this technique. It is pretty standard for conventional reels and baitcasting reels to be placed on the upper side of the rod. It is also standard for spinning reels to be placed on the lower side of the rod. This also has to do with the natural bend of the rod blank before the eyes and reel seat are put on by the manufacturer. They check this and make sure that the rod is oriented to the natural bend that occurs in all rods. Thanks for watching and commenting!

@@new2ufishing What I want to know whether PENN produces Conventional Right hand operational Reels which can be fixed under the Rod . If u know Pl. mention the model number.

⁠ there are left-hand versions out there of the Penn 113, the penn 321, the Penn squall II , and others that you might find if you do a simple Google search. Just remember you have to crank them counterclockwise if you put them on the bottom of a rod.@@shahiduddinchowdhury3380

@@new2ufishing Thank u so much .

Other than working on that bail trigger/handle it’s really just a standard spinning reel. If you have a problem with the bail trigger and firing pin, it’s going to be a bit more complicated. I’ve Gone north for the summer, but if you have a specific question , I can answer it when I get back to Florida in the fall. Thanks for watching and commenting!

It’s always a nice feeling to have that set-up you can go back to that works for you. I’m glad the video gave you that emotion. Thanks for watching and commenting!

No, it does not allow you to reel backwards. It has a standard anti-reverse mechanism and the lever allows it to go into free spool. Thanks for watching and commenting.

@@new2ufishing thank you! I cleaned some reels for my boss, and I followed a 40 minute video on how to clean this reel. Did everything in the video to the letter. It’s got me puzzled because the reel is operating flawlessly but the handle can spin backwards and operate the reel backwards. I wanted to be certain that this was not normal before I broke it down again. Thank you for the quick reply.

It probably would mean the pinion gear is sticking or is frozen to the spool shaft . recheck that area.

@@A1K3NFISHING Possibly somebody took it apart and couldn't figure out how to reinstall the antireverse dog or spring. Or could be broken dog or spring. Or somebody backed the screw out that runs through the dog, without checking the position of the dog or spring. If the eccentric lever pulled back toward you puts the reel into free spool, and pushing it forward engages the handle to the spool through the gears but it then in that position turns either forward or backward, then it is a problem with the dog or the spring. A competent shop will sort this out in minutes. It is difficult to find a video that clearly shows the spring, which is just a bent flat spring in this reel rather than a spiral spring. If the eccentric lever can not put the reel into free spool mode, then it has something to do with the pinion or the yoke or jackplate, maybe. Prbably half of all malfunctioning level wind baitcasting reels are victims of tampering with the reel's innards by those who don't know quite as much about them as they think they do, or who think, "really, what could go wrong?"

I did a quick Internet search, but couldn’t find any new old stock available, but I would guess that they would’ve been right around the $200 mark. That seems to be pretty standard for the Stratic line in the past 10 years.

@@new2ufishing awesome! Thanks for the reply.

Yes it is. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Floats are not easy to find cheap. I am currently using Bimoo Official Store on AliExpress for Hi Viz Yellow EPS in 12mm diameter and they are perfect. Thanks for watching and commenting!!!!

Similar. Tailwater Outfitters on RUclips has a direct compare video and likes the Daiwa better due to the weight being lighter. I've never used the Nasci personally. Thanks for watching and commenting!!

The maintenance is pretty much like any other conventional Penn. If you are local to Stuart, FL, I can do it for you. If not, check out the videos from 2nd Chance Tackle on RUclips. He has done this reel several times.

Sorry for my late reply. I think I need a little better description of what your issue is. Or if you could send me a photo perhaps I can help you that way. As I mentioned in the video, it’s a fairly complicated reel with that bail trigger, so it wouldn’t surprise me if there’s a lot of things that can go wrong with it.

I still have mine fully functional ❤

Hi Max, unfortunately, I no longer have this reel in my possession as I sold it. What you can do is use the contact information in my RUclips profile and text me a photo of the spring that you cannot figure out and a couple of photos of the inside of the real where you think it might go. Then I can perhaps help you. Thanks for watching and commenting

Keeping everything clean, well-maintained, and lubricated is the key. I also look for those high price reels on the used market, and they can be quite affordable. Thanks for watching and commenting.

I think there are a lot of dads out there who used one of these Mitchell reels. I'm glad you get a chance to use one from your family. Thanks for watching and commenting!!!!

nvm

The Bantam series is very popular and well regarded. I do not know the specs for the drag on this reel. I looked for it online and couldn't find it published. Maybe someone with the original documentation will jump in with the answer. Thanks for watching and commenting!
