PURSUITV 3000T SPIN REEL BOX

Overview

The PENN Pursuit V 3000 is a fixed-spool spinning reel engineered for saltwater angling, featuring a robust 4+1 bearing system that includes four sealed stainless-steel ball bearings and an Instant Anti-Reverse bearing. Built with a lightweight, corrosion-resistant graphite body, it balances durability with ease of handling. The reel incorporates a machined and anodised aluminium spool, designed to be braid-ready, which eliminates the need for monofilament backing when fishing with modern superlines.

Perfect For

This 3000-size model is ideally suited for various UK sea fishing applications, particularly where a faster retrieve is advantageous. Its design makes it an excellent choice for bass lure fishing, light pollack fishing, and spinning with metal lures. It is also well-suited for estuary fishing, harbour lure work, and targeting species like mackerel, coalfish, and wrasse using soft plastics. The reel's specification profile provides a reliable platform for shore anglers looking for a versatile tool for lighter coastal tasks.

Technical Insight

At the heart of the Pursuit V 3000 is the HT-100 carbon-fibre drag system, which offers a maximum drag of 5.4 kg (12 lb) and provides smooth, consistent performance when playing powerful fish. The reel features a 6.2:1 gear ratio combined with an 89 cm retrieve per handle turn, allowing anglers to quickly recover line slack and maintain effective contact with lures in moving currents. Practical features such as line capacity rings provide a helpful visual indication of remaining line, while the universal line clip assists with line management during storage or rigging.
