It was some what disappointing to see no major upgrade in the Penn spinfisher vii (7).

The reason why its less smooth is because it has more internal seals something a pursuit doesn't have
@tackleaddictgy3 ай бұрын
Smooth as in "gears feel gritty" that went away when the reel was crank under load and gears got to mesh better.

Thanks for the review. We have 20 spinfisher V11 6500 bailess on the way to replace our V series that we have used for the past 9 years on charter. After more than 900 charter days, we have only replaced bail arms, due to users winding the swivel tight to the tip and forcing open the bail. The original drags are still functioning smoothly and all are still working great, hence sticking with Penn

Do you think the Brass main gear from Spinfisher 7 (Vii) would fit Spinfisher 6 (Vi)? If so, we can just swap the gear for the older version (Vi) :)

The thing that I found interesting is that this reel is pretty good quality from the inside. Not many people have made a teardown video of this reel. Thanks for the giveaway winning chance.

Hopefully this is an improvement over the previous model on the drag. But the brass gear is certainly a nice upgrade.

@rudybohorquez18712 ай бұрын
Very Nice reel, I find it interesting that they upgraded the main gear to Brass from CNC aluminum on the SSVI, I think halving the stronger gear will make this reel last longer specially if fighting bigger fish. Thanks for the chance in the giveaway, great tear down video!

Nice review, those Penn brass gears take a few months to smooth out, they always start a bit rough. My SSVI6500 started real bad but now it's as smooth as my shimanos. The brass gears is definitely a big upgrade in the smaller models.

Penn gears in general need alittle time to be broken in and settle in order for it to be smooth. It was the same issue with the pursuit 4.

What is your opinion on the gouge in the spool by the line clip. Do you think it could interfere with line lay or casting?

The oscillation system is responsible for line lay (being good or bad) and in terms of casting I don't see it affecting the casting.
