I bought the penn 7000, and it’s so light , when matched with my penn 14ft rods it feels like you’re holding a course fishing outfit. The line lay on the these reels is fantastic 👍 definitely, definitely improved my casting distance. Ordered another one today
hi bud,,i like to use 61lb Berkley Whiplash braid would that be ok on the both spools you get with the PENN TIDAL XT LONG CAST 8000 ? as i only use that braid looks a lovely real thanks for sharing.
Hi Jansen, this is a brave one, anglers are so passionate about reels. 😂 I was considering a couple of Fathoms and now you've posted this. I think fixed spools are very practical but why do those multipliers look so good, until they turn into a birds nest 🤔 Seasonal greetings all.
Hi Paul, I honestly believe that fixed spool reels are now on par with multipliers. The technology has been progressing nicely for a while and multipliers have been standing still. I’d reconsider the Fathoms and go for Tidal XT’s, or if you want to push the boat out, Shimano Power Aero’s.
Just bought a Penn Tidal XT 8000 .watched your video and done everything you did to get started. Went to Hythe last night First 3 casts ok . Then reeled in so i thought. no line was coming in the spool was turning but when i looked down the line had gone underneath the spool wrapped round the shaft ,So i had to go back to my Multiplier .Any suggestions would be appreciated
I have only used fixed spool for 30 somthing years now , I prefer rear drag or clutch , Question Are there many rear clutch /drag fixed spool ,sea reels on the market , and is there a reason why they are mostly fromt clutch
Read drag fixed spools aren’t practical for use with heavier leads. The clutch probably wouldn’t lock down enough to hold the force of a cast with a heavy lead on a powerful rod.
It does come down to personal preference as the two reels are similar, but I’d go for the Penn. The build quality and general performance seems a little better. Jansen
hello.. I'm hesitating between the 8000 model and the 7000 model.. except for the line capacity and the weight, is there another advantage knowing that I fish in the Mediterranean? thanks for the video.

Just got myself the 7000. Lovely looking and very light. So light that you think how is this strong enough. Not used it as yet
Very good review mate well done. looks like a very nice reel
That's a stunning reel😢
Fantastic looking reel
Hi nice video! Can you recommend a case for it, that accommodates the spare spool 👍

When my original surf blaster brakes il buy one
Could you please inform us about its performance in current seas? Thank you.
45mm lang?
How many barring sustain the pinion gear ? Can you please share the schematic?
So its the main chassis aluminium and not alot of plastic like the surfblasters?? Didnt really described the main chassis and what its made of.

Really not sure sure how that might’ve happened, there should be a line guard in place that prevents the line from doing that?
Possibly you over loaded the spool, thats the usual problem with fixed spools
I have put a new Leader on and will try it on the field Colin@@colinbrette4387

Between this and the Shimano ultegra xr, which one is better?

@@VealsMailOrder2898 thanks for the quick reply
what brand nylon did you use the orange one
Asso Ultracast, fantastic line for fixed spool reels- www.veals.co.uk/product/asso-ultra-cast-orange/?aff=27

The 7000 model could be better for you as it’s slightly smaller and lighter and would be better for light lines
@@VealsMailOrder2898Thanks for the quick response and the valuable advice.
Is it a manual bale arm , or engages when turning the handle . Cheers.
Manual on this one
Bonjour
Très belle vidéo, entre le shimano ultegra ci4 et le Penn quel est le meilleur pour vous et pourquoi ?
Merci
je préfère le Penn, il y a moins de jeu dans l'engrenage que l'Ultegra et l'oscillation est meilleure. J'espère que cela aide🙂
@@VealsMailOrder2898 merci pour la réponse, impatient pour les nouvelles vidéo encore merci
Hope your getting commission Jansen think you’ve sold plenty of these from this video 🎉
The rotor had way to much flex for me . Shame as everything else was top quality
