I went on a six day fishing trip in the far north a couple weeks back and took my new SSV6500 Spinfisher strapped to our 8ft 2pce 6-12kilo Prevail rod from Penn. I shortened the butt a few cm's and found it to be a great top water combo. Although I only caught 10-15kg kings it stood up to them sweet. I also took away our new Penn Legion 7'6 2pce 10-12kilo, This is a very nice top water rod as well - it has an extra heavy action on it but still is nice to throw around the Sebile lures I took. I even used the combo's for a bit of trolling which towed around our Sebile magic swimmer - This lure is sick. It's the most natrual smimming thing I've ever seen. Value for money you couldn't go pass these combo's and the reel with it's 14kilo of drag you don't need anything else!!!

This is her - Lined with our Super X Fathom metered braid.

You have to check out this lure - It even sucks in bait fish http://www.sebileusa.com/in-action.html

Saw the new Penns the other day.... very nice.
The torques are too rich for my blood, but as I am moving to lighter reels, lighter line for smaller poppers etc, I plan on getting me a Spinfisher 5500 or two, loaded with 20-30lb braid.
Some nice looking gear indeed.

Yeah the 6500 balanced nicer on the Demon Blood than the 7500 or 8500. Itching to use it now, why did I buy it the weekend my wife was away and I have to look after the kids??

(oh yeah, because she was away!

)

Nice! I bet you are itching to get out and test it! Specially with this nice weather,
The 6500 would be my choice too...not too heavy the 7500 i believe is around 29 oz in real life..]]> Sun, 24 Feb 2013 10:23:12 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=85702&PID=1264503&title=new-penn-spinfisher-v#1264503 <![CDATA[New Penn Spinfisher V : Hey guys,I popped in and picked...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=85702&PID=1264502&title=new-penn-spinfisher-v#1264502 Author: EditB

Hey guys,

I popped in and picked up a ssv 6500 from Greg @ GoFish yesterday. Nice solid reel and EVERYTHING is lubricated -main body, all drags (top & bottom spool) & screws, plus main body seal o-ring and o-rings on the handle bearings. Alan Tani would be proud

I only took the side off to check if I needed to grease it ,so didn't check to see if the shielded bearings were packed.

This is the Penn SSV Spinfisher V

The 6500 is the largest topwater speed model 6.5:1.

The rest ( larger ) are jigging speed, 4.7:1 & 4.2.1

Around 200-250.00 water resistant body, rotor. 14 kg drag on the 6500, 20kg on the 9500 10500

will be one to watch.. in its price range.

Cheers Greg

my understanding is that it doesnt have the same lock down drag as the fin nor but should expect 10-13kg of useable drag out of em. they are heavy reels like the finnor but seem alot smoother . we have the 8500 and its the size of, say, a saragosa 16000 so the 1050 is gonna be a seriously big reel.

Nice how does the Penn compare drag and weight wise to the Fin nor ?
