Deal Details
Amazon has listed the Penn Spinfisher VI Spinning Reel at a Black Friday Discount most likely because of the new Penn VII spinning reels. This is a very good price/product ratio for the spinning reel. It is technically IPX-5 rated but IPX-6 because it isn't the Live Liner version which has more parts that are impossible to seal for an IPX-6 rating.

Notable Deals -
Spinfisher Vi 3500 - $99.98 - BACK IN STOCK!!!!
Spinfisher Vi 4500 - $126.69
Spinfisher Vi 6500 - $120.17 -OOS
Spinfisher Vi 7500 - $134.24
Spinfisher Vi 8500 - $120.17 -OOS

These are exceptionally good prices, especially for the 8500 Reel, it is a definite overkill for most anglers but for the ones who do end-of-pier fishing or deepwater then it will suit you. I believe if you buy it for surf fishing it would be just uncomfortable to cast but that is just a personal opinion.

*** ADDITIONAL DISCOUNT****
If you are a Discover customer and you haven't added your credit card to your Amazon account yet then you can use the 10-off code "23DISCOVHOL", it will not work if you had added your card to the account before.

If you already had your card connected to your main just make a second account for a family member and add your Discover card using the code.

*If y'all are interested you can purchase a GOMEXUS Power Handle for the Penn Spinfisher VI which is at a small discount on Amazon.com as well. Seems to be only for Prime members thought...*

At the moment the 3500 seems to be out of stock, but the other sizes are still available.

I see they also have the 6500 combo live liner for $139 which is a good deal just for the reel.

Great reel, but heavy. It will balance out a heavy duty rod well.

For a standard 7' medium rod for inshore saltwater fishing, it wouldn't be my choice.

I bought the 4500 Sinfisher V combo back in 2018 for $84.50. It came on a medium rod, but it was a very strange medium rod. The backbone on the rod is like a heavy, and the tip is like a medium to still cast a lighter lure well. Very odd rod, but it's perfectly paired to the heavier duty nature of these reels.

Yes, In my opinion, anything higher than 3500 is overkill for a setup for casting different lures. A 4500 isn't going to be too comfortable for that. FYI - At this moment the 3500 is back in stock for $99.98.

The 4500 is actually comfortable, but only because it is on a balanced enough rod. It's nice to know it can stand up to almost any inshore fish, but it's overkill for most anything I fish for besides bull reds.

True, I just had a 4000 Penn reel before and it was too big for casting gotchas of the pier in my opinion, I got a 2500 and it was way more fun for that. I guess the 4500 is a good medium for everything other than plugging and using lures.

I've been monitoring the Amazon page about every few hours and it seems that reel sizes keep coming and going, the only size available currently is a 7500 but that isn't usually a popular size.

Bought two also for my son and I. It is out of stock at the moment so waiting for stock. I bought the one with the EVA handle. Hopefully that is what I get. Great deal.

I didn't find a link for it on Amazon as well, but Walmart seemingly has the 6500 live liners for $139 a lot of people have reported that their orders missing from Walmart.
