Penn Pursuit Reels Series 3 Fishing Reel
The best of the best is indeed debatable, but it is fair to say that it would be impossible to find a better spin reel at this price point. The Penn Pursuit Reels for sale now should be the first choice of any angler that has the tightest of budgets yet wishes to fish with performance equipment. Loaded with impressive features, the Penn Pursuit Reels Series III Fishing Reel is a 5-star recommendation with a bullet.
Penn Pursuit III Reels cover a considerable range of applications. From the freshwater way upstream to the salty estuaries and way out past the heads. From Snapper to Mackerel, to Bream, Bass and Trout. From Mulloway to Murray Cod and Barra and Jacks. The Penn Pursuit Reels have you covered and then some.
Key features include the HT-100 carbon fibre drag washers, usually an aspect of more expensive reels. A Lightweight and corrosion-resistant graphite body protects the gears. The machined and anodised aluminium spool feels perfectly balanced. The Superline spool allows you to do away with a backing line so you can take your braid to the arbour as it will not slip.
Four stainless bearings provide an enduring silky-smooth crank, super strong under load, providing you with the confidence to lay into aggressive fish species without fear. Spool capacities are incredibly generous, and when coupled with the powerful drag, you have all the time and stopping power you need to wrestle the hook-up that monsters your outfit and line class.
The Penn Pursuit Reels are a must have for the fisherman on a budget who demands quality and performance. There are few brands if any, that can match this sort of spin brilliance at a comparable price. Buy one; It's a no brainer.

Penn Pursuit 3 Reel Buyers Guide
For sale, at fishing tackle shop we have several pursuit fishing reel sizes to choose. To help cut through all the jargon, we've crafted this buyer guide to help you select the correct size reel for the fishing style you do an as an angler.
The range covers all applications from finesse in the fresh to more large species such as pelagics from the ocean rocks, beaches and offshore.
Small Size Class – In this line up of reels 2500 and 3000 sizes are the two smaller sized reels we sell which are ideal for inshore fishing mostly. Lakes and rivers, dams and streams targeting Australian bass, whiting, bream, redfin, trout and any other light class of fish is what the 2500 or 3000 sizes are designed to tackle.
They'll pair up to most rods rated anywhere between 2-6kg, and when fishing lakes and rivers or other similar scenarios, most anglers choose a 6-7ft fishing rod. The choice between the two sizes will boil down to line class or capacity that you require.
Medium Size Class – Takes us to the 4000 and 5000 sizes Penn Pursuit reels for sale. Both models are close to being classed as general purpose. They are capable of fishing a few ways from heavy inshore targeting jew, barra, jack, fingermark, cod or just broad estuary fishing through to being capable of tackling light sports fish offshore such as snapper, mahi-mahi and supplementary reef to top water ocean-dwelling fish.
Fits well to most rods rated in the vicinity of 5-10kg 6-7ft is ideal for inshore as is offshore. You could also do light beach or rock fishing with Pursuit 4000 or 5000 reels using a 9-10ft light class rod.
Large Size Class – Meet the 6000 or 8000 sizes. Here we talk about rocks, beach and offshore fishing. Bigger reels mean you can fish heavier or hold a more significant capacity of line required for such scenarios.
Perfect for beach targeting whiting and bream through to salmon and tailor, ideal for spinning from the rocks and for reef fishing out wide.
Pick a 10-12ft rod for angling the beaches and rock platforms or a 6-7ft rod when fishing outside the heads from a boat.
We sell rods separately in our online store, and our team is more than happy to help you buy a rod too, should you find yourself in need of assistance picking one.
