A lot of close friends have been using Penn and they're very happy. I ended up purchasing: Penn 5000 with 15# floro Penn 4000 with 12# floro Got a good deal online for them. They have a nice return policy just in case I realize I bought the wrong items. My friend reassured me that I'd be fine with this set-up. He himself is using Spinfisher SS metal 650SSm and 750SSm which are both relatively larger than both the 4000 and 5000 I purchased. He uses the Spinfishers with #15 in the same lake I'll be going to on Memorial Day Weekend. He has caught a lot of pikes in the recent years. Now I just have to pick up some spoons and crankbaits.

I'm confused.... The way I understood is that you should stick to what Penn reccommends for their reels. http://www.pennreels.com/spin_fierce_index.html If I purchase a 3,000 - 4,000 will I be able to use a #15 lb Floro even though it doesn't show it in it's capacity? I never thought I'd need 200+ yards on a fresh water spinner... Am I able to use #15 floro on a 3000 Penn reel? If so how do I figure out how much would be needed to fit in the reel? Thanks again!

Guess I'll look into the smaller models... What line and size would you recommend? Thanks!

Are you guys sure it's overkill? I was recommended by a lot of people that I would need a 12lb-15lb line for these Northern Pikes. The reels I proposed both are made for those lb lines?... Thanks for the input!

I basically need some help in selecting some equipment... I already own about 3 different types of Ugly Sticks and a few small spinning reels. I need to beef up my reels and lines. Fishing : Mostly Fresh Water - (Northern Pikes, Largemount Bass, etc.) Occasional Salt Water I'm interested in purchasing: Penn Fierce 4000 - Mono Trilene XL 12 lb Penn Fierce 5000 - P-Line Floroclear Fishing Line 15 lb I usually fish when we go to the Adirondacks in NY. This will basically be the only fishing gear I would be using. ( I fish for pleasure only about 5 - 10 times a year) Will this set-up do or should I change anything? Equipment will be used by a 50, 23, and 11 year old males. Any feedback and suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks!
