Best Spinning Reels 2024 [don’t buy one before watching this]

Nice but all are too expensive for my tastes.

I have a Penn Battle III 4000 and a Daiwa BG 5000, and Daiwa feel better, I prefer the BG over the Battle III

My list
Daiwa Saltiga
Daiwa Certate
Shimano Saragosa
Daiwa BF
Shimano Stradic
Pen Battle III

Daiwa Certate should be on this list.

Big Penn & Shimano fan here. I like the Shimano Bait-Runner series of spinning reels. The Shimano Charter-Special (a lever drag) is also a favorite reel of mine. Penn Reels that are 50+ years old are still fishing reliably (with minimal/easy maintenance), and my old 940/930 are still good-to-go reels. The Mariner, though bulky and awkward, is an excellent wire-line trolling reel. Tx 4 da video !

Daiwa regal lt all day

I have penn battle 2 3000, penn battle 3 3500, and 6000 series plus spinfisher vi 4500. Love them all

Kastking 3000 is fire 🔥 for 30$ straight 🔥

I'll probably get the Shimano.

Zebco my favorite

White People: "How long did it take you to come up with this choreography?"

Black Dancer: "That was freestyle, I was was just vybing to the music. I went where it led me." 😏

Everyone without 'soul': "🤨" "🙄" "😲" "😒"

Me: 😜😂👏🏿👏🏿 lol I'm stupid🫣 😅🤭

Pen 850 SSM gold best for me

I use the sharky 3 baitfeeder 5000 on a bnm silvercat elite 7'6 rod and have caught several 50+ lb flatheads had the reel 2 years cleaned and re oiled/greesed 4 or 5 times still runs smothe

i need

I'd like to make a Penn setup for bass fishing. Any suggestions?

I like the brand of ""Shackespeare"" 060 for casting or popping as well as Jigging too.....👍👍

no Daiwa on the list ?

This comparison is ridiculous. How can you compare a Penn Saltwater reel that weights almost a pound and a half to a bass reel that might weigh 11 ounces?

I have two KastKing Spartacus 2 for a little over a year now. I've caught so many Large Redfish from 21" to 46"! The onky issue is it has a plastic cap opposite side of your handle that snaps easily but KastKing has sent me 2 replacements no questions asked.

Not ONE American Made Reel here.

Prices .. Tell us, we can take it :P

Choosing none of them , abu Garcia revo 3 x out preforms all the ones you talked about

Penn Battle III has to be cleaned every 4-5 times after kayak fishing in the ocean. The gears freeze up. Doesn't hold up according to the price.

Surf fishing for bass, eh? Can't say I've seen a lot of that - anywhere.

I tried kastking for several years. The smoothness doesnt last a year or 6 months if you dont take care of it.

I have also had a bad experience with the Daiwa BG. I have a 4000. If I tried to set the hook and missed the fish the handle would spin backwards very fast. Happened the second time I used it and then every time I used it. If I hooked the fish it would not do it. Guess I needed to be better setting the hook. Anyway I could not return it to the store where I bought it cause I didn't use it right away. Had to send it to an authorized Daiwa repair facility in Florida. It took months for them to get the part and repair it. Once returned it was fine but I would not buy another one.

Nice friend 👍💯

What happened to the real reviews by real fishing dudes. These AI bullshit videos need to go.

Should put in the prices for better comparison

The Penn Slammer 3 came out in 2016 and the title here is best of 2023. Penn has obviously made other reels since 2016 including a stainless steel Slammer 4 DX, torque 2 and Penn Authority. More research should of been looked into or the title changed to possibly best buy for the money

Rear drag version

I own three of the above mentioned the Kast King Sharky 3 in 5000 series the penn battle in 5000 for surf and dock fishing the penn edges it out on smoothness but the kast king has not let me down yet used both for 3 + years now as for the bay I use daiwa BG 3000 and Daiwa fuego in 3000 those are my go to's I have fought flounder, redfish and trout's without a hiccup.

😅I cant beat Shimano. 45 years and still using my first reel. I've taken in about 6 000 mackerel pillock gar ling cod Whiting red Gurner dog wrasse more and even s sea slug, that won me a competition for 'biggest variety' I also have a Penn four for African fishing...sailfish wahoo Dolphin fish= Dorado, not the usual pet like dolphin king fish barracuda etc. But mainly Xhimano and Daiwa. I rate Shimano highest.

Scumbag propaganda advertizing clickbait.

STAY FAR AWAY!

I have a very bad experience with the daiwa bg. I purchased one to use for paddlefish in freshwater, and to use in the salt whenever I go to the ocean. Unfortunately it didn’t last 2 fish. Hooked one paddlefish and during that fight the main gear popped a couple teeth. It was annoying to listen to but still usable. However on the second paddlefish the bail arm broke completely off.

Surf fishing for Bass? Lol.

I have some Penn reels for the kids and friends to use and have my Shimano reels (from flats -trout and redfish to -pompano & jacks off the jetties) for myself cause I like their smoothness casting and steady drag .

I got sharky lll 4000 series the best reel..

it is sick to make comparisons between these machines. you put in a Chinese with up to 5 times more expensive machines

I love my Penn Battles and Abu Garcia Revo Rockets

I have a slammer III 4500 and I'm very happy with it. Almost all my reels are shimanos but love a good old Penn as well

Best reel I ever owned was a Mitchell 300, still have 2 that I still use today! My daughter loves it too! Smooth, and no problems ever.

Turn OFF stupid music and announce prices!

BG or better Daiwa. Shimano is hard to beat. Penn sucks ass, way to expensive and parts cost an enormous price now. Not the Penn of old. Okuma is hands down the best budget reel out there. I own over a dozen.

I’m a massive fan of the savage gear sgs10 series I have the 6000 and 18000

Who's needs a 10000 series for bass fishing... lol, don't know squat.

Penn he's always been the best for me. I have 86 Penn rods and reels, some of them are combos setup! And I love them very much!
