Questions about Penn 9M General Purpose Level Wind, 220yd/17lbs, 9M

Does it have a clicker

it doesnt say witch one it is in the description section smart people?

Is 9m the smallest of their reels

does it fits in a new-small rod? or the chocks are too big for this kind of rods?

Answer: Depending on what "small" is to you. It will fit on a standard bass fishing bait caster, but I recommend using on a heavier rod.

Answer: I think it's perfect for a light to medium action rod. I have mine on a 6' ugly stick that I plan to use on redfish.

What is the difference between all of the reels

Product reviews of Penn 9M General Purpose Level Wind, 220yd/17lbs, 9M

S : Excellent value fishing reel

Great value and does what it is suppose to do—helps you fight and catch fish. I love Penn reeks.

mr t : great reel at a great price

Great sell

Stubborn Leprechaun : If you want dependabillity

I've been using the Penn reels for overr 40 years. Most of my fishing is spent trolling the northern lakes of Minnesota for Nothern, Muskie, and Walleye. The Penn #9 is the perfect fit on my 6' hmedium and heavy action rods.

Don : replacement reel

I got the Penn #9 to replace my old Penn 109 , Ive been hunting high and low for it and I happen to come across it on amazon

pete : Four Stars

Good bang for the buck. Good for inshore north east bottom fishing.

Bryce : Built to last

I bought this Penn 9M to put on a new rod I bought to replace an older rod that was stolen. That rod had an older Penn No. 9 on it. I caught some nice salmon on that setup, some in fresh water but mostly in salt water. Even with very little maintenance, that reel held up very well. This reel is brand new, but still almost identical.

Penn General Purpose Reels will always be my favorite reels for trolling for salmon. I have a couple of newer reels and several that are 20-30 years old. It can be tough to tell the difference between the older reels and the newer reels because the design really has not changes over the years. And it for a good reason. These reels are simply the best, most durable reel you can buy.

If you want a reel that will last forever, buy Penn General Purpose.

Tam : Fell apart on the first use

Fell apart on my fishing trip. I lost over $80.00 in gear.

Rogelio A. : Four Stars

it's good I like it but the kliker is not working

Bryce : Built to last

GR : nice

sweet small reel for salmon and steelhead. I would buy again but not from the sell that sold me these.

Kevin : Good value

Exactly as expected. Perfect reel for fresh water trolling.

Martinfishdr : My most-used Penn Reel

In 1986 I bought a USA-made Penn Mag 10 (no longer available) which is a Penn 9 with a nonadjustable magnetic spool brake to aid in casting. I used it on Southern California partyboats for light tackle bottom fishing and swimming out live baits. I still have this reel and it's my favorite reel for salmon trolling using downriggers. It is small, light and holds just enough 20 lb test line to pull in the average-sized hatchery chinook. The maximum drag is somewhat light at 10 lbs. This allows a big fish to pull lots of line out, scary but sporting. That is what kept the reel from getting a 5 star. On the other side of the boat I use a Penn 209, which drags the salmon in with authority.

Fran : Four Stars

good

fishpapa : NOT WHAT THEY USED TO BE!

I was very disappointed when I received this reel. Having used these decades ago for lead-lining, I expected more, even from an imported product. Some Chinese products are actually excellent. This reel was almost falling apart with loose tolerances and noisy operation. I dought that it would have lasted for one fishing trip. I did not even consider stringing it.
As always, AMAZON was there for the rescue and refunded all my costs for a return. Thanks, AMAZON!
PENN fishing equipment Co should be ashamed to market such junk.

Daniel R Folmer : Got this for my Wife!!

I used to have one when I was younger and was very easy to learn to cast!! So my wife has never used one before and i bought this one for her to use we put 50lb Cajun line on it and a 6 foot rod medium heavy.. She is going to start to Practice with it soon!! Penn Reels are very reliable and easy to use I own 4 Penn 309's We fish for Shovel heads in the Ohio river!! Will be recommend to other friends!
