New Reel


20lbSloughShark

Recommended Posts

My Rhino 230 finally gave out after 2 years (pretty good for a $25 reel). I had a big bass on when the gears stripped out on one side. It still reels, but with any weight on the reel it "skips" big time. I did some searching and decided on a Penn Fierce 4000. My first choice was a Penn Battle, but I couldn't find one for under $100 and my budget was about $60. I got it for $50 free shipping, brand new, and from what I can tell its just as good as the battle, but with less bells and whistles. Anyone else have this reel?

Just for giggles, I completely disassembled the reel. grin

Here are all the parts laid out, if anyone wants them (I have no idea why you would confused) just let me know, they are all free. The only thing really good seems to be the drag plates, and the two spools.

This seems to be the issue, rounded off gears as expected.

Here it was starting to eat through the body of the reel.

      We spent Tuesday sept 26 to this Tuesday on the east end of the lake. Very consistent temperature and that southern wind with a bit of cloud cover was great for walleye fishing. We followed the wind and fished wind blown points and shoreline.  A few minutes on the graph showed us fish most places.  We saw fish, caught those fish.  We tend to fish lindy rigs but fished entirely jigs and minnows,  (y-store had plenty of bait).  Didn’t go to Big Bay but probably left some schooling fish for someone else. Caught fish all times of the day.  Didn’t need to low light for success.  Last two days of warmer temps and full sun slowed the bite a bit.  Didn’t see the 30” pigs as others have referred to but saw plenty over 20 and many of those smaller fish to remind us of the future health of the walleye population. Got to love the jig bite……

      That’s some seriously cool paint on those jigs!  Do they make them in “happy” or just “mad”? 😉

      At the Hwy 6 access on the west side.  In the willows on the south side of the access.  Full blown easy chair.   You found a commode on Big Rice?  It might be handy to know that is. 😉

      Long tails on Shags?  That’s interesting.  I’ve never heard that was a thing.  Are they calendar birds?   They are still on my list.

      I got some micro plastics for my 2 mm jigs but I am looking for custom color combinations in 1/1.5 inch long plastics. I did get a thing of jigs and tell if you can figure out the team they represent.

      Took Finn over to my dad’s pond and there was one beautiful drake wood-duck on the far end of the pond. It flew off but we waited to see if any came back Saturday night.
