Product Comparison: Okuma Trio-30S vs Penn Battle II 3000 (1338218)
General Specifications
About the Product
Aggressive styling, high-speed gearing and the Trio spinning reel's revolutionary Crossover Construction platform. Advancing the Crossover Construction platform is the Trio High-Speed. Featuring a blazing fast 6.2:1 gear ratio and picking up as much as 11-inches more line per turn of the handle than standard speed Trio reels, the high-speed version shines in applications where speed is an advantage.
The PENN Battle II offers attractive cosmetics, durable design, and silky smooth HT-100 drag as just a few of the many reasons why so many anglers fish this reel. The Full Metal Body construction allows it to maintain precision gear alignment under severe punishment. With the Superline Spool™, no backing is needed because of the rubber gasket that keeps superlines from slipping. A great value for the price point.

What customers say about "Key Specs"
Okuma Trio-30S High Speed Spinning Reel, Black/Orange

- It is The perfect reel for spinning, i use it with a 14 pound line and it works excellent.
- This is by far the best spinning reel I have ever purchased.
- A great real for the money. Very, very happy. The speed ratio is what I found to be an ad vantage for a spinning real.

What customers say about "Drag"
Okuma Trio-30S High Speed Spinning Reel, Black/Orange
- Very smooth reel and a drag that is very strong, but also sensitive to small adjustments.
- The reel is flashy, fast, EXCELLENT drag on this reel. It can be set very light, so light that the fish doesn't even know it's hooked.
- Super smooth, awesome drag, not heavy for the size, love the crank grip.
- The drag system is particularly good, very smooth and strong.
- They look great, but did not last very long. I bought 4 of them at the same time and 3 no longer have working gears.
Penn Battle II 3000 (1338218) Spinning Fishing Reel
- I used it regularly for one season and it served me well: the drag was smooth and I landed many fish with it.
- The drag on all of my Battle II reels is fantastic and as the cheapest reel that has the HT-100 drag system, it’s a solid entry into the Penn family.
- I think I've caught close to 50 fish with it already, and the drag has always been smooth. Great for fluorocarbon line!
- Casts nicely and drag feels clean.
- Works perfect for all your Midwest fishing needs. Even muskie if you set the drag right!

What customers say about "Features"
Okuma Trio-30S High Speed Spinning Reel, Black/Orange
- Exactly what i needed at a great price. spooled up 6lb braid and used 8 lb leader for drop shot. caught a good amount of fish so far! Drag is very good. Love the handle.
- This reel looks really great and is smooth as silk.
- Super smooth, awesome drag, not heavy for the size, love the crank grip.
- Okuma tried to keep the cost down by using poor quality components and used the marketing terms to boast a mediocre reel
- The spool is plastic and Okuma puts a aluminum skirt on the reel. The only thing that alum skirt can do is decoration.
Penn Battle II 3000 (1338218) Spinning Fishing Reel
- No certain I the idea of an automatic anti-reverse, but knew going in that was a feature of the reel. Like the heavy duty construction. Should last a long time, even using in salt water!
- This reel is a workhorse. The body is totally aluminum, which gives it some weight, but I have finesse fished quite a few aluminum reels.
- The reel feels very solid when you turn the handle with very little play.
- This is a great reel. I love the looks, durability, line capacity, braid ready spool, and drag.
- The spool can be more sturdy, it flexes when line is under tension causing clicking sound/action when jigging, drastically reducing sensitivity and hard to detect a bite.
