This reel is a true bang for your buck. I own the Penn Battle III DX 6000 series and have used it pretty frequently with minimal maintenance.I bought this reel around 2 years ago when it first debuted, and as of now have not had any issues with it at all performance wise. I own quite a few fishing reels and the thing I like most about this reel is its durability and dependability. It comes with me on pretty much any fishing outing because I am not afraid to bang this reel up. Not to mention it's nearly 1/5 of the cost of my other "big fish reels" and performs just as well. It's caught fish anywhere from 1lb to 50lbs+ and it can handle much more.There are a few things about it that I do not like.

The Battle III DX in particular comes with a foam EVA reel knob rather than the rubber knob on the regular series. I'm not sure why Penn has started putting these EVA knobs on their reels, but I am not a fan so that quickly got changed. The reel also has some plastic components, but this was expected for the price it sits at. The paint job on these reels also does not hold up well at all. Personally it does not bother me all that much, but if you are someone who does care about that then be prepared for that.Overall I would highly recommend this product. It's become one of my favorite fishing reels, Penn really hit it out of the park with their battle series.

Bought two of these since will resist salt more than a cheap reel, unfortunately Cabellas wont take back after 60 days since makes a terrible Christmas present. This reel was fine until it suddenly decided that your ability to crank the reel tightened in unison to tightening the drag. One month, and shot I guess. Penn has waiting line of 50 to even talk warranty. Another junker in the drawer.

Penn is a workhorse when it comes to saltwater fishing. I use this reel for slow pitch jigging targeting grouper and snapper the HS feature is a big plus for pulling fish out from the bottom. I own 3 Penn battle reels a 3000 for inshore species a 5000 for some big fish and this one fore bottom fishing. All of them are excellent reels, never had any issue with any of them.

Battle III a real steal at nearly 40% off in end of seasaon sale. The Battle line is a tough, dourable, and versitile salt spinning reel I use for taylor blues, spanish macks, speckled trout, and puppy durm. The 4000 and 3000 sereies are great for the pier and surf paired with a medium power rod. Step down to a 2500 paired with a medium light for more of a fighting challange. Use the 5000, 6000, and 7000 series paired with heavier rods for some early fall drum fishing were 6 or more ounces is needed to hold bottom.
Recently got a Battle 3 in the 2500 and the 3000. Love the reels the drag is the best in class. The quality control on the finish of the reels is to be desired. Both reels had imperfections in the black finish allowing the white paint to show. The 2500 had specks of the black finish missing, while the 3000 had large section of finish missing on the bail arm and specks missing on the body. For the price of these reels one expects better quality control.
When I saw the Penn Battle III's on sale I immediately purchased a 2500 size reel. I have been using it for saltwater inshore fishing and so far I am satisfied with the purchase. The reel is small, light, smooth and strong enough to handle just about any inshore species except perhaps a larger size tarpon, which would require a reel that holds more line. My only reason for giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is that the line lay on the spool is slightly top heavy so I will need to make a washer adjustment and re-spool it to correct.
I bought this reel (2500) for steelhead fishing at Erie streams. Good drag is very important for this type of fishing. I also owe few previous models and they are good reels. So, I figured it will be a good match for my new Loomis rod. First time out, while fighting big steely, the reel started spinning in reverse. I thought I accidently "knocked" the reverse lever. And then I noticed that this reel is missing reverse lever (switch on the bottom of the reel) completely, so now you can's spin the rotor in reverse; you either have to pull on the drag or flip the bail. Never seen this before! What can I say: PENN is cutting costs. In my opinion there are less expensive reels with better quality out there. And for this one: going back to Cabela's.
The Penn Battle 3 reels are perfect for bass sized fish. I just got into fishing, as an adult, in march and the penn 2500 was the best option where I was on display. It has been amazing... takes abuse amd keeps performing great. BUT... the 3000 is slightly bigger and gives noticeably more line and drag. The speed of line retrieve is also more balanced.Bottom line... a dedicated reel for bass sized fish... penn battle 3 3000 and under is perfect. Looking at size 3000 and over for more drag, that does everything?-Save up for the 3500 Penn Slammer.
I picked up the Battle III 3000 reel recently and paired it with an Ugly Stik select pro 7' medium rod. The reel has very smooth gears, and the all aluminum frame eliminates flex, so the gears stay in alignment when fighting a bigger fish than you anticipated catching. I recently caught a 40" Red in Galveston, while it didn't have the drag to wench the fish in, the drag is smooth as any I've ever used and after a short fight, the reel landed the fish with ease. it features the HT 100 carbon drag washers, they come dry but I just add a small dab of Precision grease and to me, it makes a little difference in the smoothness of the drag. Penn's website states it holds 250 yards of 15 pound braid, but I was able to fit 300 yards of Sufix 832 15 pound braid with ease. the ... MoreI picked up the Battle III 3000 reel recently and paired it with an Ugly Stik select pro 7' medium rod.

Penn's website states it holds 250 yards of 15 pound braid, but I was able to fit 300 yards of Sufix 832 15 pound braid with ease. the only con I can say about the reel is the line lay. I didn't have to shim it at all, but with a lot of the Penn Battle reels it dips in at the top of the spool if that makes sense. With that I haven't had any wind knots, but it doesn't cast quite as far as my other brand reels. Overall a very strong little reel that does exactly what its suppose to.
If you intend to use this reel with braid or casting frequently, pay the money for something better. Wind knots often. I've used it about 50 times this season and I've cut 4 wind knots out. That's not the other 4 I've taken the time to fix. String it with monofilament and you won't have any issues. The bail will flip back over on you now and then. The reel has a smooth drag and that's about it.
