Hi. I would get one of these for his birthday. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001VAT44Q?ref_=pe_527950_33920250. I bought the 20 which I use when we go to the states and I can get fishing. However, maybe one of the bigger ones would be better for him, the 30 or 40. Apparently they are prone to corrosion, so make sure it is well washed after use, especially if he uses it in salt water. Good luck, Lindsay (from the UK)

This was a gift to my nephew who is a commercial fisherman in Oregon. He loves the unit. I have forwarded your inquiry to him. Will let you know what he says.

Well if that fine seemingly "cheepo" Diawi DF100A Spinnng Reel was connected to a good quality fishing rod like a 6 or 7 ft boat rod too a 10' too 15' Shakespear Ugly Stick or an Amazon sold Okuma Fishing Rod I suspect one could catch and maybe land a 60LBS Shark!

I have 6'10" Fenwick EliteTech River Runner with the 6925 because all to many times fishing for Trout or Panfish a Large Mouth Bass or a Northern Pike Attack my lure. I have boated 28 inch Northern and 4 pound Bass with the 6925. Trust me the reel drag sings as the fish runs. The 6925 does the job. I have broken rod tips from the frisky Northern's and Fenwick replaced my rod no questions asked. With my experience I would not go smaller than the 6925.

I asked my husband this question, as this was a gift for him. He said where the rod is an ultra light rod it takes an ultra light reel which is a small one. He also said the next size up in the fishing rod takes a medium reel. I hope that helps.

Thomas..the C3 designation is basically a "grade" of reel...there should be a size designation to go along with it....also, I need to know the type of fishing you are interested in....the red reel pictured to thr left, appears to be a 7000 model, which is a very heavy duty fresh water, light salt water reel.....as best I can tell the C3 your are also asking about is a 6500, which is a high speed (6 to 1 ratio) version of the 6000...a wide spool fresh water reel.....I have both these reels, and I fish mainly light to medium Salt water... Again..it all depends on the type of fishing you want it for.....heavy troling, mooching for salmon, muskie fishing..then probably the 7000i..if you are going to be doing a lot of casting then I would say the lighter 6500, or even 5500 reel..for normal Bass size type fishing..... With more info, I could give you a more definite answer...Just remember, the C3, is a higher quality reel of the same size!!! Regards, Jim

The reel size depends on how you want to fish. Big fishes need bigger reel butthe reel isnt too big if its a spinning reel. So its not too heavy. If you ate using a conventional reel then size makws a difference in weight and size. Smaller reel have weaker drag fir smaller fish. Bigger size reel had stronger resistance and hold moreline. I just bought a medium size reel using 30lb and fush would drag alll my line and I would have to sacrifice a hook in order not to losea spool of line. Big fishes need bigger reel so it can fit more bigger line. Smaller fish in lakes and river wouldnt need those. I would go for a bigger reel if I had to buy again. Its not so much bigger if its a spinning reel.

I own 3 of the 30's and find them perfect for medium-light applications (trolling for crappies, small mouth bass etc) this reel is well made and has a smooth drag system... however limited spool capacity ! I think the 40 or 50 would be a better choice for you.

Truthfully, the squall is a better reel, it out performs the senator. When it comes to line capacity, the senator has it beat. But let me save you some time, money, and headache...in actuality, I stopped using Penn as soon as they outsourced to China... the parts break down way too fast now and replacements are a waste of money just like the reel then becomes a waste. Trust me, I used to love Penn, but as soon as they did that, quality becomes non existent, even getting parts for old reels sucks because of the low quality. Avet and Shimano are the way, and take it from a very experienced and avid fishing captain.

The trio30 is a nice medium size reel, and it is very smooth. It holds 160yds of 8lb mono. I use it for most of my fresh water fishing, trout , bass, etc. The trio20 is more for an ultra lite setup. The trio40 is bigger, I use that one with 65lb braid, mainly because I can get more, heavier line on it.

Diana, I have purchased two of these Hydro Tools reels they are complete junk. My recommendation is just save yourself aggravation money and time go and find a dealer for Horizon Reels they are expensive but, come with everything including ball bearings, aluminum inserts for the tube for stiffing the tube. Mine for my 20' x 40' cost me around $630 last year.

Very good pickup for under a $100 buck at least it was when I bought mine. I do highly recommend the Fishman Neo-D. Fishman also has excellent costumer service. I hope this was helpful!

My son bought the reel and he says it works great. He uses it with 10 pound test freshwater bass fishing all the time.

I own a 300 from my early days. It has a plastic spool and is still working today. I bought the 300C for my son in law and used it when I visited last month. I has a metal spool and can be loaded with line by machine at the store. It has the same great feel of my original 40 year old reel, smooth casts and retrives well.

I have never used the reel you mentioned. When I bought my reel, I was aware of the quality of Penn reels and wanted a line counter to be more accurate to get to the depths needed to be where the fish have been located on the sonar. I matched it with an Ugly Stick medium heavy at 6'8". I have had more bites and caught more fish with this combination than ever before. The "feel" of the Ugly Stick and the ability to get to the right depth for my use was incredible. The reel fit my needs for salmon fishing, mainly off charter boats at Westport, Washington. Roger
