PENN Spinfisher Vl Spinning Inshore Fishing Reel, Size 3500 (1481261)

I'm not much with a bait caster so a spinning real is my choice when I'm not drop fishing off the side of a boat ... got a 60 lb Bluefin tuna with a drop lure on a Penn International 16. But back to the Spinfisher VI ... Once I got used to the manual bail I was able to place the lure, a flat fall, where I wanted it to go for an immediate bite before the rest of the passengers. I like to ocean fish, but I don't have my own boat so it's elbow to ..., tangled lines, and competing with those using live bait ... 30 - 50. The reel has a spool capacity for that run which seems to occur often and the drag is more than sufficeint for a Yellowfin Tuna of 18.6 lbs. ... that's the largest of the three I recently landed. I used a Penn Spinning rod with the reel. Best part ... I'm over 70, still using Penn, and discovering new reels to help me catch fish!
