Kieren Faisey, from ‪@wildseasfishing‬, gives his first impressions on a brand new surfcasting reel from Penn.
In this video, Kieren explains the benefits of using a surfcasting reel and why this particular model stands out from the crowd. If you're looking for a new reel to up your shore fishing game then this video might help you decide on the model that is right for you.
No stone has been left unturned in PENN’s mission to create a superb surfcasting reel, including a rigid and lightweight body and rotor made from XRC carbon, a durable CNC gear machined from premium metals, and a near impervious sealed drag with HT-100 carbon washers that doesn’t allow a drop of water, dirt, or sand inside!
Penn's Tidal XT is the perfect package for the discerning surfcaster, whether you choose the 7000 or 8000 size. The pièce de resistance of this resilient reel is in its casting - The Rocket Spool Design has been specifically engineered to help make accurate and long distance casting an easy job. This is part down to the spool’s shape and design, but also due to PENN’s innovative X-Slow Leveline technology, which allows the reel to achieve more than 50 wraps of line per single spool oscillation. This means you’ll achieve impeccable line lay, which helps line fly freely from the spool cast after cast. It also makes retrieving long casts much easier.
No less that 9+1 sealed ball bearings contribute to the silky-smooth performance when winding in or playing a fish, while the Quick Drag system allows you to quickly switch between the drag and free spool functions. Meanwhile, two included line reducers can be attached to the spool meaning you’ll never use more line than you need. Go into battle with a companion by your side that you can trust to get the job done.
