I've caught 32" stiped bass on my Fierce II 4000LL reels. It also happened to get a lot smoother over time. I also filled the gaps on the shielded bearings, on either side of the sideplates (under the crank handles where they screws in, but not the threaded holes themselves) for extra protection against water intrusion.

Hi dear. I have bought two Penn Battle 2 6000s but to my surprise both have sort of crack at the top end of the bail arm. Can someone please confirm do all reels come like this or are mine damaged ? Thanks.

I fish with both the fierce and the battle off the Pensacola pier. They both are great, they handle Spanish with ease. The battle handles kings like a dream. I have no bad things to say about either reels. Highly recommend them. And the Penn name.

Fierxe and battle is almost identical in functional parts except minor difference in bearing system. U can interchange alot of parts including the spool itself as long as u swap the clip & white plastic bearing on the shaft of the battle.

FIERCE everyday replace the felt washers and upgrade the drag to the HT-100s(which is what the battle has) costs like 5 bucks and turns ur fierce into a battle with superficial differences in like ball bearings weight etc if you aren't in the market for the conflicts or spinfishers or clash then don't waste money on a battle I have my original fierces that have outlasted some friends brand new battle 2s

I get new drag washers from scotts bait and tackle online website I believe he is actually located up in the New England area but once at the website he has everything laid out to find whatever Penn reel you own (he is an authorized Penn dealer) once you find the fierce you own just look down the list of parts till you find HT-100 drag washers NOT the felt washers which is what comes in the fierce reels (I think you can also find the washers in the battle parts list and probably like 5 other ways to find that part but like I said his website is easy to navigate an parts are dirt cheap I think my new washers are between 5-10 bucks but that's been awhile so they may have gone up good luck

Penn lower end reel are are pretty good, but for a few bucks more Shimano is the way to go (no affiliation). I think the drags are smoother (even after being abused) and they really stand up to the salt water.

The main differnce why i think the battle is the better reel is the drag. The ht-100 carbon fiber drag in the battles have a way smoother drag than the fierce. But the fierce is a great reel for the price. Penn all the way!

I was going to buy the Penn Fierce II 2500 but I ended up buying the Battle II 3000. The first day I took my Battle II out offshore I caught a 8 pound Sheepshead ! Just a week ago I caught a pretty nice bonito on it too. I'm having so much luck with that reel I highly recommend it to anyone who's thinking about buying a Penn or any spinning reel.

Will never own a battle again. The clutch/sleeve assembly is junk!! One trip surf fishing and 2 days later the 3000 was completely locked up. The 2000 had a clutch/ sleeve that was rusty beyond belief. My Shimanos have seen years of saltwater fishing, and never have a single problem.

My battle 2 4000 seized up on me. When I stripped it down and cleaned it everything started working again for about 5 minutes until it seized... again. On the second strip down I noticed this little white plastic collar on the shaft that turns the spool. I'm not sure what that metal shaft is called but Penn lists is as part #39 on the part diagram. When I reviewed the parts diagram, I saw the two brass washers which were part #38 but I did NOT see the white plastic collar. It turns out that this was what was sticking and was the reason my reel was locking up while the spool was in the down position. I removed the collar and reassembled the reel. I've been using it for about a dozen trips now and it feels like it did when I bought it new. I have not had a single issue with the reel since that piece was removed. I'm assuming the collar was supposed to be removed during manufacturing but they missed it. When the reel was new it wasn't noticeable but after getting salt and sand in it everything started to snowball. I hope this helps someone out there dealing with the frustration of a locking up battle 2. I can promise you that as long as you didn't let your reel go due to negligence, removing the white plastic collar will solve your problem.

Use some sand paper on the shaft. Simple but effective.
