WTB spinning reel...

Looking for a spinning reel for my 9ft surf rod. I would need something in the 5000-6000 series size. Penn, higher end shimano, or quantum in the 50-60 size......maybe a VS150-200 :shock: Let me know.....Thanks, Mike

I don't think either one could handle that kind of use :affraid: ...ZBass are too small for my hands. My knuckles almost hit the rotor....I could see whacking my knuckles on a November day while I am fishing a Nor' Easter....No thanks. Would reallly like a VSB

I fish a penn 710 greene with a 704 handle on it and Z spool on my 9'er and work's great put that's me LOL, You can buy 12 of them for one VS but then you can't say look at me :lol: :lol: :lol: But realy the USA VS's are nice reels and if you have, spend it.

Mike,i got some penn's 850ss,7500nib 704z&700,704greenie.how much you looking to spend?

Joe, not really sure what the older Penn stuff is worth. I guess something in the 6500 size. I'm not sure what that size is in the 700 series. I would like something that is mint or close to it.

The penn 700 is the same size as a 704..i dont have any 6500ss 0r 650ss.the only reels i have mint/like new is 704,704z and a new in box 7500ss.

I have one of these, only used maybe twice.

Joe, I think those may be too big for my 9ft'er. I keep them in mind though.

Go4broke, nice reel but I don't like skirt-less spools.

I have a 704z too that I drilled out, and completely stripped, cleaned, and regreased with all Penn products. Its nice.

Sounds nice...got any pics? I still think it may be too big but would deff consider it.

No box ,but I have a Very sweet 710 Greenie with new drag stack, bright paint, a small chip in paint here there. emblem intact,ready to Go,as for overall conditon Give it a CHOICE Asking $70.shipped Al (No Trades//No Photo//No Pay Pal) Got References

Go for the bucks get a VS 200 and kick the crap out of it like i do. Penns take it but nothing holds up like a VS i know 5 people that have had their Z's break what an expensive peice of junk lol. Good luck on your hunt if you got Penn go 704 706 bailess if you go bailed 704 or 650-6500 all great on a 9 or 10 foot rod.

Screw Zee Baas .. First they had so many problems last season and for a 1000 reel it should be bullet proof ..

VS is the way to go , i cant use any other reels now ..

a 200 can go on a Ft to a 11 ft ..150 is nice but a little small . I got one for the kayak only ..

I was a Penn guy but they are not good for they way i fish ..If your sitting your Ass in a chair chunking all day they are great ..If you dont dunk em they are great . Get hit by a wave and get dunked and your screwed .

Look at it as a investment . They hold their Value an will last a lifetime .Or keep on buying reels and killing them , then add up what you have killed and there is your VS

MIke
I Hate fishing bait so a VS was very nessacary . I cant tel you how many times i have reeled in a fish with reel fully submergerd..
