Questions about PENN Fierce II & Fierce III Spinning Fishing Reel (All Models & Sizes)
Q:
What's the difference between 4000 & 4000LL
Answer: The difference is the LL. (Live Liner). The 4000LL reel has a switch that allows live bait to run freely for fishing where the 4000 doesn't.
Q:
What is a good inexpensive penn reel for bass and pike?
Answer: I use my Penn Fierce 3000 and 4000 models on 10-25 pound salmon and steelhead in the Pacific Northwest and they have never failed, these fish go on multiple 20-50 yard runs so I would imagine they would be fine for Pike and Bass.
Answer: This Fierce 3 in size 5000 would be great for pike and bass.
Answer: Penn pursuit 2 or 3. Both are great you won't be disappointed.
Q:
What is the difference between the ll and llc model?
Answer: The only difference is the "C" means it comes in a plastic clam shell package. The one without the "C", comes in a box. I don't care about the packaging, so I got the "C" model because it was $8 cheaper. Same exact reel though.
Answer: Penn mfg. list only two model styles the Fierce2 which is a front drag adjustment and Fierce2LL which is rear drag.I think the C may signify rod and reel combo or it could be a old # or venders ID separation from the mfg.
Q:
I'm looking for a reel for my new 12ft pole used for Potomac and Chesapeake bay strippers . Will this work , and what size braid is compatible?
Answer: Get 8000 and pair it with kastking fortis braid you cant go wrong . I use mines for sturgeon god luck and tight lines .
Q:
what would be the best reel for 8 to 12 pound line for trout fishing?
Answer: I've used this reel with 6lb test line for Rainbows. Works great. Has the ability to go up to 10lb line if needed. I'd have no problem recommending this reel for trout.
Answer: The 3000 Fierce would a great reel But Gould even go the next size down. I use a 3000 for steelhead and it holds about 150yrds of 15lb Spiderwire.
Q:
What does clam mean
Answer: I believe it's the packaging. Like at Walmart the plastic package vs a box
Q:
Can this reel be paired with 10' surfcasting rod for surf fishing
Answer: Yes. I have the 4000 series on a 9’ rod. I’d go with a 6000 on a 10’.
Answer: Absolutely
Q:
does the penn 4000 with gear ratio 6.2 can be used for popping ?
Answer: Oh yes.
Answer: Sure.
Q:
how much drag does thw 1000 put out
Answer: The 1000 fierce 3 has 9# drag because better drag washers
Answer: 7lb max
Q:
Has anyone put the 4000 on a 9 ft rod ?
Answer: I have mine on a 9' med-heavy GX2. I love the spinning action on it.
Answer: This is the setup I use for catching bait in the surf
Answer: Yes. It's a great and smooth reel.
Q:
What is the difference between the 4000, 4000c, 4000ll & 4000llc?
Answer: 4000 and 4000c are just a difference in the packaging. it is a standard spinning reel, same for the LL and LLC but that is a live line reel or some call it a bait feeder that allows the fish to run the spool and you can engage the drag with a tab on the rear of the reel or by turning the handle.
Q:
Does the 4000 work on 125 yards of 65 lb braid?
Answer: You can get pretty close to 100 yards of 65lb braid. The casting aspect will hinder your performance. Traditionally speaking, this reel is made for 20lb braid. If you use it for its intended purposes, then 65lb braid is overkill. The drag itself cant handle the application you are using it for.
Q:
What is the difference between a 4000ll and a 4000llc? i know they are both live liners but what does the c mean.
Answer: From what I understand, it’s the packaging. The C stands for calm pack.
Q:
I have a 9 ft Ugly Stik rod and I plan on doing catfishing plus saltwater, what size would be good?
Answer: Depends on the action of the rod. I have a 4000 on a medium/heavy GX2 nine footer. The rod is actually pretty thin for a nine footer but makes a great light duty surf rod.
Q:
What size reel should I use for 15-30 inch fish in the surf?
Answer: A 4000 with a med to meet by rod or 5000 with medhvy to heavy rod. I prefer the 5000. Enjoy the surf
Answer: For surf fishing no smaller than a 6000
Answer: 5000 and 30 lb braid 7'MH tiger rod
Answer: I have a FRC4000 and FRC5000 and have caught up to 26 inch trevally and bonefish with no problems! Reels held up fine!
Answer: 6000 / 8000 size
Answer: I use a 6000 on a 10 ft penn prevail , handles about anything in the surf
Answer: 6000 or 6500 should work good.
Q:
What is the difference between the 8000c and the 8000llc?
Answer: Llc = live line clamshell/plastic case. I have 2 of the 8000 c their one tuff reel you whont regret it.
Answer: I have the same question. No answer. I've attempted to contact Penn CS with no help. I've decided to go with a Shimano. If Penn doesn't answer, and whoever is selling this reel can't be bothered, they don't deserve our custom. Good luck.
Answer: 8000c is like a regular open face reel. The LLC is the Live Line reel. If your familiar with a bait cast real it's like that. You can set the reel to let the fish run with the line and then stop it by either reeling it in or flipping the live line switch.
Q:
I want to use it in the surf with light and heavy lures at the same time and sometimes cutbait in rough surf. What would be the best size?
Answer: Reel size depends more on the rod and line you're using than lure weight. Try to match the line rating of the reel with that of the rod. For any salt water fishing, bigger CAPACITY is better, as long as you're using the recommended line weight. (475yds of 50# braid on the 8000 is better than 335 yds on the 6000, especially if a shark decides to take home your bait).
Q:
Se puede usar en agua salada
Answer: Sí lo puedes usar en agua salada. Aunque es diseñado para usarse en agua salada se recomienda lavarlo con agua fresca cada vez que lo uses en agua salada.
Q:
How many yards of 50lb braid will the 6000ll hold?

Answer: What type of fish species are you going after? The 4000 should be good enough it holds up to 30 lbs of braid.
Answer: 4000 equals 13lb max out drag, 5000 is 20lb .. think about it.
Q:
Are you supposed to take that piece of rubber off the middle of the spool when lining your spool or do u put the line right over the rubber??
Answer: Leave it on and put your line right over.

Penn fierce 8000 cost

Answer: It’s a good reel.. I beat mine up pretty well this summer and it still works. I think your be fine...
Q:
Do the back drag on the Penn Fierce 6000ll spinning reel turn because mines don't.
Answer: Are you saying that the drag doesn't work if you pull on the line? If you're talking about the live liner second drag on the back you should be able to tighten or loosen the second drag if not return it for one that works properly it's a great real
Answer: Are you saying that the drag doesn't work if you pull on the line?
Answer: That sucks man I'm sorry u had that problem mine works perfectly may contact Penn I'm sure they would get it figured out good luck
Q:
Best reel to buy, 5000 or 6000 matched with a 12' meduim heavy airwave rod for surf fishing - pompany blues, whiting?
Answer: Not sure about the 5000 but the 6000 will probably hold more line.i would use it to surf cast. You could probably use the 5000 just as well for what you are fishing for however the 6000 with 12ft rod should be a good combo should a 6ft shark hit the bait.
Answer: Both will look silly on a rod that size and work similarly with it. Look into the 7-8000 models
Answer: 6000

Answer: 6000 or 6500 should work good.
Q:
Do I have to use mono backing with 8000ll if I use braid?
Answer: Nope, Mono backing is used because its a lot less expensive than braid. Also most people never reach that backing in most cases.
Answer: Penn Spinning reels have a rubber ring on the spool that will hold tight your braid and keep it from slipping. However the line capacity of these reels will take a lot of braid. Some people opt to use a cheaper fatter mono to take up some of the space on the spool so they don't waste all that money on hundreds of yards of braid that will never be used unless a fish spools you. Don't be a fool, don't get spooled.
Answer: The reel comes "braid ready" which as far as i can tell refers to a rubber ring built into the spool that prevents the line from slipping around the spool. So unless you want to limit the amount of braid you'll have to spool on I'd say you don't have to worry about using a mono backer

Product reviews of PENN Fierce II & Fierce III Spinning Fishing Reel (All Models & Sizes)
John Z. : I have several
I have 6 total 3, 8000. 2, 6000, 1, 4000 and I have never had any probalems with any of them. I do alot of salt water fishing and all have lasted about 3 years so far
Brent Blackburn : Been a great reel so far
This is a really nice reel. It is light, yet holds a good amount of line. I have caught a few decent sized bass and a 26" pike with this reel with no issues. It casts well and reel is very smooth. We will see how it holds up.
Tango Extreme : Nice reel...But...
This was a nice reel. I liked it. But after only 18 months the mechanism that raises and lowers the spool just stopped working. I will have to replace the reel now. Fixing doesnt seem worth it. Can anyone suggest a great reel? :)
Brian P. : Great reel for a Surf rod
I used this on a 10 day Gulf Shores trip and love this reel!
Danny Blunt : Great reel
I’ve tried pfluger , shimano, Diawa , abu Garcia and a ton of other reels, this is my favorite by far for the price. It’s a bit heavy, but personally I like that. When a reel is extremely light it’s usually not as smooth as a something heavier because the bearings don’t have any weight to throw around , atleast when it comes to this price range and trout and bass sized reels. I’ve had three pens fierce 2s for about 6 years, they all work perfect.
Kenny B. : Great for live bait, bad for crab snaring
Awesome reel for live bait, but busted the main gear using it for crab snaring ! Would not recommend use for crab snaring!
Eren : I love this reel.
I am in love with this reel. It is great especially for the price v.s the competitors... I have been purchasing other brands lately because they tend to make their reels lighter but the reel really is great. It is lightweight too. I have it currently on my Tsunami rod and it works like a charm. No issues with big striped bass at all.
M. Rute : Penn smooth!
A very smooth and solid built reel. Smooth retrieval. There is so many junk reels buy many name brand companies. Penn delivery’s quality.
RM Morosky : Penn Fierce III 4,000 series
I've used Penn Reels for many years. Although the Fierce III is not the top of the line or the most expensive, this 4000 series is Outstanding. I Love the 6.2 to 1 retrieve ratio and, the reel is glass smooth. The bail is strong and closes easily, manually or with the handle. The drag is glass smooth. Line capacity is very good. I loaded mine with 12 lb Spider Mono it holds 250 yards of the 300 yard spool. The 12 lb is 8 lb test diameter. This reel does very well with the ugly stik salmon and steelhead rod.
Love it!
Love it!
Mobles : Couldn't be happier
These reels are the best value on the market right now in my opinion. I have 4 different sizes for different types of fishing and have never had a problem through all 4 seasons. I am rough on my gear and these reels really hold up.
A Orange : Solid
Solid choice if you get a combo or get it on sale, I prefer these over the battle.
Amazon Customer : Super item!
My husband loves this! He's quite the fisherman and said how much he loves using it!
Jim in NC : Great Reel.
Love these reels for there bait feeder feather. I have 3 of them.
roscoe : Great reel
So I paired this reel with an abu garcia ventana I must say I love it smooth and accurate no tangles all day hung a 26 inch striper on it first time out still grinning
Captain Eric G : You won't be disapointed
I should start by saying I own a ton of fishing reels.... These are great little reels for light tackle, mid-low range in price and built to last. I own probably 8 4000's and 4 3000's and they have held up to my customers abuse. They have a great over-sized handle and hold a ton of 10-12 lb. test line. There is no reverse switch on these so you don't have to worry about getting a "Birds nest". You won't be disappointed. Don't buy really cheap reels, you will have to keep replacing them and will end up spending more money.......
Amazon Customer : As good as a conventional reel.
This reel is amazing! As an avid fisherman, this reel is as good as a 300$ conventional reel. Its easy to use, can hold like 400 yards of braid and still have room for a top shot. It has a loud live liner, which works like a clicker on a conventional reel. The only difference is that you can adjust the strength of the live liner(baitclicker), as opposed to a conventional reel where the drag is set automatically.
roscoe : Great reel
So I paired this reel with an abu garcia ventana I must say I love it smooth and accurate no tangles all day hung a 26 inch striper on it first time out still grinning
Bobby Davis : Great!!
Like it, haven been fishing yet, but casting is great.
Sherice M. : Nice
Works great
Idaho : Penn. Smooth as silk.
Good trout reel. I have three of them, all on ultralight rods.
Kevin St.Onge : Just what I wanted
Awesome reel. Very sturdy. Nice thick bail wire. Good gear ratio. Matched it with an ugly stick elite and have caught many bass on that combo.
W Rhine : Great reel!
Bought the 3000 to use on the kayak fishing the flats. I own a 6000 also for pier fishing and both have been great reels. I have a couple of the battle II reels and the fierce II is just as good.
Ngoc hoang : Great reel. Had the 2500 and 4000 fierce and ...
Great reel. Had the 2500 and 4000 fierce and fierce 2 series. This will be a great addition to my fleet. Smooth, high quality. Really like the heavy gauge bail and the big handle. Will be a good king mac setup.
Eren : I love this reel.
I am in love with this reel. It is great especially for the price v.s the competitors... I have been purchasing other brands lately because they tend to make their reels lighter but the reel really is great. It is lightweight too. I have it currently on my Tsunami rod and it works like a charm. No issues with big striped bass at all.
Ray : Great reels, watch for sales.
I love these reels and pick them up when Amazon throws them on sale. I fish with PENN battles myself, but I buy these for my kids so they can fish with quality reels without paying the price of the battle. My older kids are experienced fishermen...and women...and they love their reels. My understanding is if you upgrade the drag washers to oiled felt, you almost have a battle minus one bearing. Not sure if this is true, but a friend told me this. We use these reels for saltwater fishing in southeast La, and they have never let us down. Even had one get pulled overboard and it functioned fine after we picked it up. We have brought in huge black drum and redfish with these and they have worked flawlessly every time. I actually caught these on sale on amazon for 29.99 for the 2500 and 3000 series....an outstanding value at that price!!!!!!
JJ : Man this is a great little reel
Man this is a great little reel. I paired it with a 4 piece Daiwa travel rod, which I'm shocked to say I absolutely love as well (not a fan of mass produced rods). I'll update this review if/when I ever have any issues, but it'll be a while as this little reel is going to be a two trip per year reel. Very smooth, spool has rubber strip for braid, really good balance.
Big Nill : More than what you'll pay for.
Look, I've had my doubts about the quality of PENN in the past, but this reel blew half the reels I own out the water. I have a stradic, a spinfisher (the reason I doubt PENN) and a Daiwa BG, but this thing can rival all three of these reels while being significantly cheaper. You reel it in, BOOM! No sound, no resistance, no nothing. Live liner works wonders for when I'm using skipjack to catch stripers or catfish. It's fairly light, adaptable, and a great experience for anybody that's used to fishing or trying to get into it. Confident 5 star rating.
Zach Samuels : Best
The best out there
T nelly : Can't go wrong...
Nice reel...I like the bait drag option. I also have the battle which I feel is lighter and with the bearings a bit smoother. Regardless, I love Penn.
Danny Blunt : Great reel
I’ve tried pfluger , shimano, Diawa , abu Garcia and a ton of other reels, this is my favorite by far for the price. It’s a bit heavy, but personally I like that. When a reel is extremely light it’s usually not as smooth as a something heavier because the bearings don’t have any weight to throw around , atleast when it comes to this price range and trout and bass sized reels. I’ve had three pens fierce 2s for about 6 years, they all work perfect.
Zacklby : Penn Fierce II: best reels I've ever owned.
I now own two of these reels; the 4000 and the 2000. I live in Alaska and primarily fish lakes. Trout, pike, kokanee, grayling, etc. These reels are absolutely fantastic. Reeling is as smooth as butter, the drag works without fault, and they perfectly match my ugly stick elite fishing rods. I intend to buy a few more different sizes; the 5000 for salmon (reds, silvers, Kings) and the 8000 for surf casting for halibut and whatever else is hiding out there. Could not recommend these reels enough!
John Hansen : My favorite
I'm hard on my fishing gear. This is my second Fierce II and they both get fished heavy off my kayak and the beach. A quick rinse in fresh water and every six months I open it up to re-grease. I've caught everything from pinfish to bullsharks on my 4000.
Larry K. : AWESOME REEL
PENN Fierce ll Spinning Live Liner reel is one of the best reels I have ever owned! I spooled it with PowerPro 40# Moss Green Braided line. The Bass don't have a chance with this combination! Put a fluorocarbon leader on the PowerPro, and you have an excellent Walleye rig! Also love the live liner ability using with live bait on slip bobber. With a 6-2-1 Gear Ratio, of 33" per turn, is great! The 2500LL is the perfect size for Bass, and Walleye!
JAAWN : Ready to catch big ones!
This is a high quality reel. My son has only used it a few times as he received it as a Christmas gift, but he is convinced he is going to have a stellar year with this baby. It is made very well, has a great weight and ease of use.
brian pizzuti : Not bad for the price
At first this reel was a little off, tension on the retrieve, but eventually it worked in and became a smooth reel. For the money, this is a pretty good buy, but I wouldn't use it every day. Good for lighter spinners and finesse plastic. Would not use it for jigs or crankbaits even though I caught a few on a lipless with it.
Amazon Customer : Perfect lightweight reel for crappie
I purchased 1 of these from my local Academy sports and liked it so much I bought 3 more for my crappie rods
Amazon Customer : Works as advertised, thinking of buying one for my wife.
I used this with cast king braided fish line, 20lbs test. Had a great day on the water thanks to my new reel. It is smooth and quiet. It handled catching 15 Black Drum one after the other. No issues. Felt comfortable in my hand, and landed a 9lbs fish with no issues. Looking forward to my next trip.
wes : So far so good
Spooled with 20lb braid and the 2500 is a great size for inshore 7’ rod. Casts well and drag seems decent.
Gail Jhonson Fan in CT : Very good quality, perfect size
a friend recommended this for my grandson, who is 13. He said this 2500 size is perfect for freshwater fishing of fish up to about 7 to 8 pounds and will last my grandson until he is older. My friend uses this same reel for freshwater fishing. Unbelievably easy to use, very responsive . Penn's quality is great!
Mr. Brown : they work great and with a quick wash ive experienced no salt ...
After using the 2000, 4000, and 8000 sizes of this reel ive got no complaints! they work great and with a quick wash ive experienced no salt water related problems to them.
Captain Eric G : You won't be disapointed
I should start by saying I own a ton of fishing reels.... These are great little reels for light tackle, mid-low range in price and built to last. I own probably 8 4000's and 4 3000's and they have held up to my customers abuse. They have a great over-sized handle and hold a ton of 10-12 lb. test line. There is no reverse switch on these so you don't have to worry about getting a "Birds nest". You won't be disappointed. Don't buy really cheap reels, you will have to keep replacing them and will end up spending more money.......
Roger Colunga : Worked great!
Worked great!
Glenn A. Crump : landed a 10 pounder on my 1st outing
New favorite reel for bass fishing...specifically that Penn added a Bait Runner feature. Reel is smooth as silk.
John Hansen : My favorite
I'm hard on my fishing gear. This is my second Fierce II and they both get fished heavy off my kayak and the beach. A quick rinse in fresh water and every six months I open it up to re-grease. I've caught everything from pinfish to bullsharks on my 4000.
Big Nill : More than what you'll pay for.
Look, I've had my doubts about the quality of PENN in the past, but this reel blew half the reels I own out the water. I have a stradic, a spinfisher (the reason I doubt PENN) and a Daiwa BG, but this thing can rival all three of these reels while being significantly cheaper. You reel it in, BOOM! No sound, no resistance, no nothing. Live liner works wonders for when I'm using skipjack to catch stripers or catfish. It's fairly light, adaptable, and a great experience for anybody that's used to fishing or trying to get into it. Confident 5 star rating.
Matt : Good saltwater safe reel for the price.
Really solid saltwater capable reel for the price range. They're a little heavier than some reels in the range, but seem to hold up really well. I've got 3 different sizes and all of them work well. I rinse all my gear after fishing in salt and that's kept them in good shape.
The Carson's : Did WORK on a 27lb trinity river blue cat
Had this for over a year now and have caught some big fish with it. The live liver system works GREAT. Hands down best reel for the money in my opinion. Paired it with the Penn prevail rod. Solid!

Mr. Brown : they work great and with a quick wash ive experienced no salt ...
After using the 2000, 4000, and 8000 sizes of this reel ive got no complaints! they work great and with a quick wash ive experienced no salt water related problems to them.
Amazon Customer : main gear spokes broke off.
After 3 years the the main gear froze and the spokes broke off. I have reels that have lasted almost a decade and still work fine.
you can compare the product price from Costco, wayfair, bestbuy, lowes, target, homedepot, Walmart, ebay, amazon to find the best price for you
