Amazing brand fisho- we can’t fault them🤙🏻🎣 as you know, Andrew is a Penn Slammer fan🎣😉

Glad you enjoyed it, fisho🤙🏻🎣

Will do bud- good move for a better future, but there is something special we have back home❤️

Thanks for the feedback, fisho🤙🏻🎣 we loved doing this review and we look forward to next weeks one🤙🏻

Very close, but there are subtle differences that make the battle significantly better. An example is something as simple as the clicker mechanism on the shaft, battle has slammer style while fierce is the same as the entry level wrath. The non serviceable bearings are another difference. Surprisingly at the moment the battle iii is on special and at roughly the same price as the fierce 4

Besides Dons comment, I think that Penn make great reels- this coming from a Penn fan. They are all good reels. BUT, you can tell the difference for sure if you had to strip the 2 down to bare bones and put them back together🤙🏻

That Dx is solid, and a lovely looking reel as well🤙🏻🎣🔥

The DX is very well rated and if you not after a reel that can handle constant dunking they might not be sealed, but quality reel that delivers

@@doncznsafter seeing the way a reel is sealed which is actually so simple and opening some cheaper reels I’ve had for years I believe you only really really need a sealed reel if your reel is getting wet super often .

@@benico341 Hi Ben just fitted a 5000 dx to your rod and it balances well. Line capacity is 300yds 30lb braid. The 6000 does also balance but weighs more and will tire you faster, might be tempted to go 6000 if targeting big gt in Mozambique or Angola, but for local shore casting except perhaps for yellowtail the 5000 should be ideal

@@donczns afternoon Mr Don , I think you may have me mixed with another comment haha😆 it’s cool though don’t worry 💪🏻🙏🏼

A 5000 should work well. Holds enough braid and a fair bit lighter than the 6000, naybe check the weight and specs against what you have, I will fit one on a amia the same as yours, let you know my 2 cents

The man himself has replied🤣🤙🏻 Let Don fit it in Bilimoria when he’s there and he can give his honest opinion! The DX is a beast. Such a capable, and beautiful reel!

5000 balances well, holds 300yds 30lb braid, might push to a 6000 if targeting GT and Yellowtail but for all else a 5000 is the way I would go

Checked the balance on the rod this morning a 5000 suits best

Unfortunately a lot has moved to the East. BUT, with that said- you get QUALITY and quality (I don’t know how to make that any different🤣). China is known for poor quality and great quality… obviously Penn would stick to their strict control measures despite not being made in the US🎣

Sadly Penn hide it on a small sticker inside the rotor, Alan Hawk had a hectic rant about it, all other brands display it externally and some sites in the USA say made in the USA which is not true but people percieve it as such

I’d say a 4000 or 5000 Penn Battle will work for most applications🤙🏻🎣

If that was mentioned, we apologise🫣
