      Yeah dude. I just put it for sale on eBay as of 9pm this evening. I’d rather have a lighter reel and it being sealed doesn’t matter to me because I don’t put it in situations to be sandy or submerged. Someone else’s gain…

    @Bruiserboy1 Před 2 lety

    Love your honesty, thanks. I am considering the reel for kayak fishing where my reels get a hammering and dunked regularly, but I hate the look of that tiny foam reel handle on the 2500, cheap and no way is going to last.

    • @ericwilliamsfishing
      @ericwilliamsfishing  Před 2 lety

      Yeah. That’s all it is too is foam. You can probably replace that with an aluminum alternate. I think it would be great for that use.

    Like that you gave your honest opinion. I've said it once before on your page, but I'm a big daiwa dude. I still need to give the nasci a try, but fuegos and bg's are hard to deviate from for me. Thanks for the vid man

    • @ericwilliamsfishing
      @ericwilliamsfishing  Před 2 lety

      I really like the Fuego too and it’s a hard reel to beat for its price point. I’m not a fan of the BG because I’ve had a lot of issues with the spool bail wire bending on me. The Legalis is another favorite of mine, I have two that I fish regularly. I won’t advise someone to spend $340 on a reel if it doesn’t feel like it’s worth it.

      Thank you, brotha. I actually put the reel on EBay last night 🤣. Man I was hoping that the camera would pick up the fish a little better but the wind chatter on the surface and glare milked up the clarity. I appreciate the love - we need to get together and try to make a collab video.

  • @chrism2042
    @chrism2042 Před 2 lety +2

    I agree on the Penn reels, they are nice reels but for some reason for me they feel not only heavy but off balance when reeling. I went to Tex tackle a couple years ago and told him to set me up with the best inshore set-up. He handed me a 7' rod with Shimano Nasci FB, loved it since I got it. Went to Tex last week and got a Stradic.
    I have Penn slammer 7500 & 8500 reels for shark and tarpon fishing that work great but my last 2 larger reels I got were Diawa BG, I find myself fishing with the BG's most of the time, just something about them feels better.

    • @ericwilliamsfishing
      @ericwilliamsfishing  Před 2 lety

      We have a similar experience except I find myself using the Nasci’s and Daiwa Legalis. I don’t like the BG’s as much - even though they do feel more structurally sound.

    • @eves08109
      @eves08109 Před 2 lety

      I'm mostly Daiwa and Penn myself and I love the BGs and the 2020 Saltiga is the best! But I do love my Slammer 3 and Spin Fisher 5 are both great reels and workhorses but it's all about using the right reel for the right job. I do have more and fish mostly with my Daiwa gear.

      We have 24 spinfisher V 7500s for charters, done over 600 days over 8 years. We have replaced 10 bail arms in that time, nothing else, not one breakdown other than user error by reeling the swivel tight to the rod tip. Can not recommend the penn reels more highly, we also have many slammers for yellowtail fishing, and half a dozen Authoritys for personal use, they are the best reel I have used in my 55 years of fishing

    I don't think the 2500 is built the same way the higher models are. Have you tried the Slammer IV in higher models?

    • @ericwilliamsfishing
      @ericwilliamsfishing  Před 2 lety

      I haven’t. I couldn’t find one at the time any larger than this one. It was a demo model and it’s since been sold.
