General Specifications
About the Product
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.
Smooth performance at a great value! The President® delivers features and performance that will impress over and over again.

What customers say about "Drag"
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!
Pflueger President (PRESSP30X) Spinning Reel
- The reel is plenty smooth whilst reeling and has enough drag range for its size, however, I found it a little difficult to hone in setting the drag.
- Very smooth! The drag works extremely well, and casting is easy with this reel.
- This is my sixth President reel, and for the price they can't be beat. Reliable, good drag and a good looking reel.
- Very smooth drag. Great cast ability as well.
- Smooth retrieve, silky drag, casts like a dream. And super value at this price!

What customers say about "Features"
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.
Pflueger President (PRESSP30X) Spinning Reel
- Very comfortable in the hand and the rubber handle on the real Grips wet or dry fingers. Perfect for lake and river fishing as well.
- It is one of the better reels I have come across in this price range. It is solidly built of virtually all-aluminum and graphite construction, except the handle knob.
- The handle knob is beefy and has a soft touch feel to it.
- The construction is aluminum and graphite and very lightweight.
- Almost entirely made of aluminum and graphite, this reel looks like it will last a LONG time, and appears to be a very good value for the money.
