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

can1non : Penn 9 M Reel

Great reel used it for fluke and stripper fishing.
Nice action and quality is very good.
Would recommend with medium action pole

Amazon Customer : Defectos de calidad

El producto es nuevo y vendido por Amazon pero viene con tornillos marcados como si hubiese sido desarmado o manipulado.

Penguin Chick : 9M is a GREAT REEL!~

Everything I wanted it to be............ and more! I paid only $25.00 for it and Amazon said it was used but it looked quite NEW to me! This is a SMALL reel! good for inshore fishing! the reel measures only about 2 1/2" across! NO DEAP SEA OR OCEAN FISHING WITH THIS ONE! Stay inshore and you will have fun! This is NOT a heavy duty SNOOK or Tarpon reel!........ Although that is what I will try to catch on it! I am going to use 20lb. line (braided thin Spider wire type line) with 50Lb. leader. I used to use a PENN JIGMASTER! That is the perfect Snook and Tarpon reel!! I have not used 9M this yet! I will let you know! I live in florida where the FISH are BIG! GREAT up north fresh water lake reel! Will reel in the biggest Muskiee's!

James Grooms : Penn reels are chinese trash

It is a chinese made piece of s--t.plastic body and the level wind jamed up the reel , I got a penn reel cause i believed them to be made in america ,,never again , and i will no longer buy online

GR : nice

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

EduardoGarcia : great reel for salt water

Penguin Chick : 9M is a GREAT REEL!~

Al BarnesAmazon Customer : Four Stars

Great reels, buy them, but quality is gone down hill from the 70's models. Still worth buying though.

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.

Al BarnesAmazon Customer : Four Stars

Colin Mc : Product is as described

It's a fishing reel as advertised.

kurt : Not a robust unit

After the first time out fishing for lake trout the real quit working, very disappointed.

Ray's Daughter : Five Stars

Love this excellent reel!

Teresa hajek : Simple Solid and Dependable

These decades old reels won't die.I've used these reels for years,and have found them to be very reliable.Please note that the Penn general purpose reels are conventional trolling designs,NOT casting reels,you will need an educated thumb to cast them.My brother caught over 100 sturgeon in the Columbia River out of Astoria Oregon using one of my 9m models,and I have also caught Rogue River king salmon with these rock solid reels.Mine are USA made,with both aluminum spools and chrome plated spools.Bakelite side plates,stainless pinion/brass drive gears have proven to be bulletproof.I've examined the Chinese models ,and can see no difference in quality.Proper maintenance and decades of use can be expected.(This review from my husband)
