help with spinning rod

[tjd24]

Penn Battles are both quality and economical spinners. (We have 4...no trouble 3 years) Plus, if you ever do need parts or repairs, you don't have to send them back to the factory for service. Almost everyone services Penns.

whoops, subject line should read help with spinning reel. long day for me over here. sorry.

i see there are alot of penn battle fans, I was all set to get one and heard from 2 people they have problems with windknots. I did a quick google search and see there are ALOT of people who have this issue with the battles. Thoughts?

I have 2 battles and have had no problems with wind knots. But I think it may have something to do with not using good braid. I use suffix on all my reels.

If that's your price range get the penn spinfisher 3500 or 4500 awesome reels perfect for what you want tougher than the battles no wind knot issues to speak of

I was using conventionals all my life and just switched to a spinner setup and just love the penn battle for the price you cant beat it . Awesome drag and easy to use .

Bought a penn battle this year and love it for jigging - spro-ing , no issues or problems except me . operator error

Both the Penn Battle 4000 and the Quantum Boca 40 are great reels for your purposes. I have both and would grab either one without question. Call around and see who stocks both and go try them out, you won't be disappointed.
