Hey guys josh over j h. This is the pen battle. 3 3000 spinning reel brand new from penn supposed to be an icast introduction, of course, no icast because of covid, but doesn’t mean that this isn’t the best bang for your buck, 3 000 all metal reel. It really is they’ve, taken the spin fisher slammer architecture and applied it to this drill, it’s very very similar to a spin fisher uh, except without all the seals. So seals in this is really just the drag, is sealed and and then it’s got six seals stainless steel ball, bearings other than that no seals.

So if you’re looking for seals, upgrade get yourself a spin fisher, they are awesome. But if you’re looking for real, that’s 125 bucks and has most of the features, this is definitely it again. All metal construction really really feels nice due to those cnc gears. It’s got a brass, pinion and aluminum main gear, and just when you do the cnc gearing it’s just so much more precise, it feels so much more rigid, less flex to it, and it’s just going to give you smooth performance and you’re going to have a lot of fun on the water weighs in at 11 6 ounces and puts out 15 pounds of drag with that ht 100 drag system holds 205 yards of 15 pound test braid, with a 6 2 to 1 gear ratio.

You can switch the handle from left to right and it’s just a nice looking reel. It just looks really really good. It’s going to perform really good and I think you’re going to have a lot of fun with it. It really feels so much better than the previous generation nice aluminum handle. The knob here is rubberized feels really good in your hand, if you get wet or you get, you know guts on there, whatever you’re still going to be able to turn the handle, feels really nice and it’s just a a really well done reel from pen we’re going to sell a ton of these they’re going to be very, very popular and you’re, going to get a lot of happy anglers.

Getting the the pen battle 3 so check it out. Pen battle, 3, 3000, spinning rail, you can get yours at jh com or on the jna chap you.

[Applause], [Applause], hey everybody! Welcome to another edition of angler video uh we’re gonna profile. Today, the new brand new just came in yesterday, penn battle, 3, spinning rail. Pretty excited about these reels, some pretty nice additions to the pen lineup little advancement over last year’s model. The previous battle, two um big deal is going to be new cnc gear, not new to pen. They’ve got in some of the higher end models, so it’s making its way into these more price point based models which is really nice.

It’s a nice feature. A couple of other nice features that they have round rubber gripped handles on some of the larger sizes. So it’s better in your hands absolutely gives you better grip, especially when your hands are wet early morning late afternoon um, you know, like miss rainy days. Um 1000 through 5000 reels, are going to have the aluminum machine, the cnc gear main gear, and then the 6 through 10 000, which is a new size for them, is going to have the brass cnc gear and that 10 000 is a pretty good, pretty beast.

This would be great for offshore applications if you’re looking to jig for tuna um, big giant 15-foot surf rod if you’re fishing down on the outer banks get some good distance on this load, it up with some decent size, braid 40 pound max drag. Oh my gosh, so you’re talking big behemoth fish with this guy um other favorites that we would have would be cobia in the lower part of the bank yeah five. Six thousand. We even have the 6 000 on a combo um loaded up with some 50 pound brake.

This is totally ready for kobe yeah, a little redesign on the battle three rods: nice new, much more comfortable, real seat, you’re feeling the blank through that skeleton frame, which is really really nice, very, very lightweight because of the aluminum main gear. In these reels they are a little bit lighter than the previous models, which is nice. So it’s a little easier on the elbow they do feel smoother. They still have six bearings in them.

Stainless steel sealed bearings just like the previous models, so they’re going to be nice and smooth retrieval and it’ll be durable to hold up. So I think the big news with these is the high speed versions, so they’ve got three high-speed versions in stock. Four thousand six thousand and eight thousand much faster gear ratios on these. To give you an example on the 4 000 size battle, we’re talking, 37 inches per turn of line retrieval on the high speed, 4 thousand 47 inches.

Oh, my big difference. Um really ripping those lures through the water with less crank right help saves on the arm. Um so definitely want to check these reels out. Uh we’ve got a good number in stock, but they’re going to go fast because these things are great. They really are. I’m really excited about them. I mean brand new stuff uh every year, but they really outdid themselves with that for the price point they did and they I think they still wanted.

104 99 all the way up to 150 154 99 for the larger size yeah. So it’s uh really you’re getting a lot for your money. On that absolutely absolutely like you said we got everything for like little perch fishing. All the way to you know your favorite rockfish styles, with the 2500 3000 sizes. I mean can’t ask for a better. You know reel for the price point there. Abs absolutely absolutely well be sure to stop by and check them out, give them a spin and uh.

Let’s help you pick out the next ones to fit on your boat or or your tackle box. Good luck out. There guys have fun.

Another episode of quick review wednesday today we’re going to be talking about one of my favorite reels that I’ve ever purchased uh is my very first inshore reel and it is the pen battle, 3 3000, let’s get into it all right, boys and girls. After getting my very first false albacore tuna, I decided it was time to invest in my very first saltwater setup. This is an inshore setup and uh. I got the pen battle, 3 3000 and we’re pairing it up with this here triumph.

It is a seven foot, medium fast action. This thing these two paired up together. Let me tell you something: it’s fierce folks, fierce, let’s get into the reel, because that’s we’re here to talk about today. Now we gotta make this short and sweet because uh I am literally about to leave, to go down to lake powell, meet the guys from gary yamamoto and do a bunch of cool stuff over the next five days and we’re gonna finish at lake mead in nevada right outside of las vegas.

So we got a bunch of rods already packed up, and this is the last one that needs to be packed and I’ve been waiting to do it, because I wanted to do this review. This is the last video I have to edit and get together before I finish packing we’re leaving tomorrow morning, super super early, so really we’re leaving tonight we’re staying at a friend’s house close to the airport and then we’re jetting super early in the morning. Let’s talk about this incredible reel before we get into it, I’m going to tell you a quick story now.

I know this reel right here is not sealed, meaning you probably shouldn’t just completely douse it in salt water, but the other day I was on my boat that I worked at out in newport I caught a striper on my other rod and my buddy went to grab the net knocked this clean out of the rod holder and it went down to the bottom of the ocean. I actually thought she was a goner. I thought we would never see her again, which stinks, because I’m absolutely in love with this setup.

So I took my other rod and I tied an eight-ounce weight where I put my hook and then right above that I tied up a treble hook and uh. It wasn’t working I’d cast at the thing, a ton of times the captain grabbed this like long pole thing and we tried to get it, we couldn’t get it at all. It was just not looking good. I had one more idea in my brain right above the treble hook, I tied another weight, so I went eight ounce weight treble hook. Eight ounce weight I took one more cast, took a couple cranks and felt this baby hook into it.

I lost my freaking marbles, like pretty sure. Matt was even happier because he was freaking devastated, that he dropped this thing down to the bottom of the ocean and uh. When it came up, we were pumped, I rinsed it with fresh water, and then I took about a hundred casts until we actually left on the next trip. The reason why I kept casting is because it was completely covered in water like it was soaked and in order to get it to drain, you want to cast and reel and cast some reel.

The casting really doesn’t do anything, it’s the reeling that helps it drain. The spinning shoots all the water out of it, and I have not had a single issue since we’ve caught a bunch of stripers on it. Since this thing is a freaking powerhouse 15 pound drag on this thing is amazing: it is perfect for fighting stripers and albies and blues and literally anything in the ocean around us, except for maybe sharks or something. I am absolutely in love with this reel.

It has cnc gears, it’s a cnc gear system, meaning the gears were forged out of one block of steel. It’s a solid system, if you know what I mean, and that makes it super freaking smooth like reeling. This thing is so smooth. I actually had another reel in my hand when I went to pick this one up and this one like I. It just felt that much better without any line on it. Without anything, I was just like keep it putting it in my hand, reeling seeing what it felt like.

That’s why I ended up purchasing this. It’s also only 11 6 ounces. So it’s pretty light for an all metal reel. This everything everything here is solid metal. There’s, no plastic, anything! It’s all metal, the only like plasticky part at all. Is this handle it’s like smooth kind of plastic. I’m just broke the rod. This part here like I said this is not sealed, so this is only 125 dollar reel. If you want a sealed reel, that’s pretty much the same thing and does almost the exact same stuff, you’re gonna have to upgrade to the spin fisher, okay and by pen.

If, if you want to stick with pen, you’re gonna have to upgrade to the spin fisher so you’re talking about you, know a lot more expensive. Like I said earlier, the ht-100 drag system is freaking flawless, as you guys can see right here. This thing’s flying it just sounds beautiful. With these albies just ripping drag I’m in love. If you can’t tell I’m in love absolutely in love for a beginner saltwater fisherman who doesn’t like to buy cheap because I actually want my stuff to last- I I couldn’t ask for a better purchase.

Couldn’t ask for a better purchase this one, like best in show, I believe at this year’s I cast, even though they didn’t have an icast this real. This is. This was like one of the top dogs at icast that wasn’t outcast for braid. It holds 250 yards of 15 pound test, braid 180 yards at 20, pound test parade and 130 yards at 30 pound test braid for mono. You get 200 yards at eight pound test, 165 yards a 10 pound test and 120 yards at 12 pound test.

This reel holds a ton off line. That’s why you know it’s a three thousand. If you need to hold more line, you’re going to want to upgrade to the four thousand, if you want less line, you can go down to the 2000 they’re, all roughly in the same price range. This thing cranks in 35, inches of line per turn, it’s sick! It’s a 6 2 1 gear ratio, so it’s fast, but it’s not extremely fast. It is absolutely perfect for throwing this some. This yozuri spook pencil there hydro pencil, works beautifully for that.

It’s okay jesus. We were using this on the last saltwater video and it was flawless. That’s like one of the reasons why I got this setup too, was to throw stuff like this for stripers, because I absolutely love top water striper pits. I like topwater hits period. I don’t care if it’s striper or largemouth or smallmouth. You know me, so it’s got five plus one. So that’s six stainless steel, bearings and those bearings are sealed. Bearing case is sealed, the drag system is sealed.

So those are the only two things sealed on here now, if you’re looking for real for inshore and you’re, not looking to break the bank and get something that’s like 400 bucks, plus I’m telling you right now, this pen battle, 3 3000, is the best bang for your buck out there, this thing’s gonna last it freaking works like a charm and it’s not ridiculously expensive, because I know that that saltwater gear can get really really really expensive. This thing is a freaking champion, and that’s it guys I got to get out of here.

I have a ton of packing to do and I don’t have much time we’re going to be leaving here shortly, so I got to edit this get it up on youtube after exporting and importing and exporting and all that fine stuff, and I got to create the thumbnail all that we got to get this done.

When I speak all cap with the speech today, caught up in the rapture, I’m still out of line with the phrase just running through the fields.

All right, so, what’s going on guys, welcome back here to another video in today’s video, I got something different for you guys. I want to go ahead and do a review of the new pen battle 3. So let’s go ahead and get right into it and um I’m going to go ahead and unbox this and show you guys what it’s all about. Let’s go all right guys so right off the bat here, you guys could see, probably that the packaging has not changed at all pretty much same packaging that came in the older wheels um.

Let’s go ahead and take off the wrapper here and try to take a closer look at it. So you guys could see more of the details here as we um take off the the packaging here, we’ll notice the color is pretty much the same as the other reels and literally the morphe they’re curious to see what that was. One thing to note is that this is a full metal body reel um very strong, very durable pen always makes some awesome incredible gear.

I’ve been using pen for quite a long time and I’m very satisfied with their products um. Taking a look at the um real foot. There you can notice. It’s got a weird curvature, something a little bit different that I noticed. I don’t know if it’s going to be a little bit better to grab or something like that, but um we’ll see as we try this reel later on very smooth, very smooth reel.

As you could see, one thing I did notice a difference is the actual spool there. It’s got a different design compared to the older models. This reel does feature the cnc gears technology, which is something that pen um includes in their reels and um. It’s um also includes some carbon drag washers, making it a very strong and durable drag system.

As you can see, a very strong and well put together reel here, um, nothing less to expect from pen fishing. They make some incredible products. I’ve been using their wheels for quite a few years now and um they perform incredibly. I use them both in salt, water and fresh water, and I have nothing but good things to say about them.

So yeah we’re gonna, go ahead and put this reel to the test, and hopefully we could land some nice fish on it all right guys. So I hope you guys enjoyed that quick little video of the new pen battle 3. This is definitely an awesome reel at a great price point super affordable and they hold up super awesome to the salt water.

I’ve had um pen battles for a while. Now I’ve been running them both in freshwater and saltwater, and they hold up great, absolutely love them. So hope you guys enjoyed that little video and um saw the differences that this reel has against its older model. If you guys have any questions, make sure to leave it down in the comments below make sure to hit a thumbs up and I’ll see you guys on the next video.
