Check this out. It shows that spinning reels are certainly capable of handling larger fish.

You can still get a new one at Charkbait (http://www.charkbait.com/cs/csrp3.htm) or on ebay. I've not tried the Spinfisher V. I'll be honest I've been fishing Penn spinning reels since the 60s and even still own a Penn 700. I've used all the previous Spinfishers but the slammer 560 is in my opinion the best most trouble free Penn spinning reel I have seen. Incredibly smooth powerful, great drag but most of all nothing breaks or comes loose on it even when your subjecting it to hard fighting fish like tuna. I can't imagine anything I'd change on it or anything that could make it a better reel. Sometimes you just got to shake your head at how Penn does things, but thanks for posting because now I'm going to pick up a few more of them while I can still get them. Jim |

I've always been a conventional user but I bought the smallest sized Penn Fierce a few years ago for surf perch, bay bass, ect, but on a trip to baja it handled snook, small grouper, and big corvina. I really like the reel. The bigger models might work well on most of our local species. Mike
