Q:

Does it have a clicker

Q:

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

Q:

Is 9m the smallest of their reels

Q:

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.

Q:

What is the difference between all of the reels

Florencia Ibar : very good choice

Excellent reel!! i really feel that i made a great choice with it!

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

Al BarnesAmazon Customer : Four Stars

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

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!

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.

Colin Mc : Product is as described

It's a fishing reel as advertised.

JM : Time tested

Penn reels, hard to go wrong.

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!

ROBERT : great entry level salt water reel

It is a Penn, so it should last for years. Be aware that it's small size will prevent you from mounting it on a 6'6" or larger casting rod; however, it will fit on any saltwater rod. I recommend this reel for anyone using a small rod with light line (20lb and lower) for anything else I would go with the 209. It is a larger, easier to use reel that looks exactly the same and also comes with rod mounting hardware, that the 9M does not.
