Penn Battle 3

[Monty1978]

Hi folks I'm new to the site and looking for some help!

I'm in the process of purchasing a beach rod and reel, I'm considering buying the Penn Squadron 2 and pairing it with a Penn Battle 3 reel, is the Battle 3 suitable for use off a beach or should I consider something else? Any help would be appreciated.

Battle will work, but maybe have look a t the surfblaster may be more suited to what your using it for

I love my Battle 3's got a 3000 and a 6000, using the 3000 on 11ft Squadron2 Bass 3pcs and love it for lil heavier lures and bait casting. A 4000 would have fit even better but with thin braid the 3000 is perfect feel and use for me. The 6000 is nice and big but mainly use it on my 13ft DAM Surf cheap rod, i love Penn rod n reel, decent quality fishing.
Battle 3 be suitable for your usage, especially the CNC'ed sealed section, however, also down to how you handle reels, i.e. not dropping into sand or water, clean it off regularly etc.

I can still hear the crunching sounds of my buddys shimano reel that he dropped into deep sand twice after catching & excitement
