The new Penn Passion spinning reel is one special reel. It is a reel that represents Penn and Pure Fishing’s support for the American Breast Cancer Foundation (ABCF). Of course that is not all. The Penn Passion spinning reel is not just a symbol of support for the ABCF. It certainly is a reel that is very capable and a high performer. We recently filed tested the size 3000 at one of our usual test sites in Jugra, Selangor.
For this field test we filled the Penn Passion 3000 with 17lb Berkley Fireline Ultra 8 Carrier line, and 17lb Berkley Vanish leader. The reel was then paired with the Abu Garcia Salty Nova Colors Summer Blue (and also because we were field testing it). Below are what we used for the test.
