6.The Penn Spinfisher V – Best Professional Fishing Reel yet Expensive
The Penn Spinfisher V that I am introducing to you today has been acclaimed as one of the best saltwater spinning reels.
With Bearings of 5 + 1, sealed HT-100 Slammer Drag System, a full metal Body, side plate, and Techno-Balanced rotor, machined and with Line Capacity Rings, and an instant Anti-Reverse system, this is simply one of the best fishing reels that money has to offer.
Pros:
- Ease of use: This fishing reel is easy to use and manipulate, and many customers that left a 5-star review on Amazon testified to its ease of use. To me, this is one of the pole reasons to buy a product; there is no use buying something that will be too complicated for you to use.
- Style/Design: According to many people that are currently using the Penn Spinfisher V, the reel is built like a tank. Raymond, a verified buyer on Amazon, reckons that the reel is very smooth and incredibly fine-tuned
- Performs well: The Penn Spinfisher V might have a few complains, but it is only a negligible amount of people that have anything negative to say about its performance. With the quality of materials put into use in this reel, it does not come as a surprise that the performance has been certified as top notch by critics and users alike.
- Value for money: Like I said in the introductory part of this article, the Penn Spinfisher V is a bit pricey, and if one is just looking to experiment with a little budget fishing reel then it might not be the one for you.
Cons:
- It is a bit pricey: I just had to put this as a con because price affects the buying decision of a lot of people. In that sense, the Penn Spinfisher might be too pricey for some people that will like to have a reel of its quality but have little purchasing power.
- Waterproof claims are baseless: People have accused Penn of putting out claims that the Penn Spinfisher is waterproof.
- A bit heavy: Some users have also pointed out that the Penn Spinfisher V Is a tad bit heavy. This complaint was not too recurring, though, meaning it is not seen as a huge problem.

Im deeply agree! Penn Spinfisher V is the best!!! This reel performs very well and it worth every penny spent on it. Additionally, the brand that made this reel is known for producing unique high quality fishing tools. Penn products are associated with reliability.

Why there is not reels from Shimano ? It got tough quality too!
Andy Cullen says
Since we are considering the quality and price (Shimano got a ridiculously price), so Shimano is not included. However, we will try to get a review on it soon!
Vitamin says
Daiwa got many great fishing reels which are under 100! Such as the 2017 Daiwa BG Spinning Reels, I think you should include it in your list!
Andy Cullen says
Hi Vitamin,

Can you recommend me some fly fishing reels? I prefer fly fishing reel rather than spinning reel and Baitcasting reel!
Andy Cullen says
In fly fishing reels, the Piscine Aluminum Fly Fishing Reel is a great option The backing capacity of this reel is 20 lbs. The strong aluminum helps to ensure that the reel holds up when you are pushing the limits.
Also, there are two different colors, and you can choose to purchase just the spool.
You can also order either the AOKA version or the Grey Fly version. The AOKA is a ⅞ reel while the Grey is a ⅚. Both options also come with a drawstring bag to protect your reel. The most important thing is, this fly fishing reel is extremely reliable, and rarely being damaged.
If you are looking for a second option, the Fiblink Fly Fishing Reel with Large Arbor is another great choice.
