I would like to compliment salt strong on shipping orders so quickly, I placed 3 orders in the last 2 weeks and all were delivered ahead of schedule as opposed to other companies, Keep up the good work

In reply to John Schnetzler. Hey John! No updates as of yet on the Battle III. We have a huge order placed directly with Penn and we are slowly receiving more product every month, but we haven't seen any of the smaller Battle IIIs come in yet. If you haven't done this yet, I would highly recommend clicking the Notify Me feature for the model that you're waiting for, and as soon as we get more in you'll receive an heads up that we have them in stock!

Fished Cocodrie, LA last weekend. I bought a the Penn Battle III 4000 combo. I filled the spool with 20# braid and caught a monster black drum with it while targeting redfish. The 50+ lb. fish was fun and the new Penn combo gave me complete control bringing it in. Thanks for the review that I read before purchasing.

Would like to know if the Rod TFG PSS 70 4-1 7ft MH 8-17 nd the Penn Battle 111 2500 reel would be a good match?

In reply to Joseph Simonds. Penn still makes Senator and International in the US. Still has a plant in Philly. But all the others are made overseas.

I know you don’t typically recommend combos but what do you think about the Battle III 5000 combo? It comes with the newest reel and a Penn brand 7′ medium-heavy rod. The price wasn’t advertised but would it be like other combos and have the reel with a cheap rod and I would need to just buy a decent rod? Or is the Penn rod a decent rod I could use? Also I have pretty decent rods, and one cheap one, but I’m still looking for a decent reel. I’ve bought three reels within a year, one of them from Penn (Pursuit III 4000), and all three have broken on me. The Penn Fierce III 5000 seems to be doing well.

In reply to Alexander Nanos. I have worked on Penn Battles, Fierces, Pursuits, and Spinfishers. They are pretty easy to work on. Check out 2nd Chance Tackle channel on YouTube. I have had to replace the main gear, the crosswind gear, and the crosswind block. Those 3 parts typically cost about $8 total from mystic parts.com. Once you’re done, it will be like brand new.

In reply to Mel Crissey. They've definitely stepped up their game over the past few years. Big Kudos to Penn on their improvements.
