Looking to pick up a pair of new Penn Fierce series model 6000's. Anybody have any experience with these?

However....I really don't like spinning reels because they take up so much space in the boat.

No experience with that model, but I have the Penn Liveliner (2 of them) and it's been solid for 10+ years.

I don't own a boat, so that won't be an issue; strictly a bank fisher. Max cast is 30-50ft on 30lb braid with live bait and a 1.25-1.5oz sinker. No biggie.

Water Judge, Penn Fierce are the only spinning reels I sell because I like them so much. Very well built, most of my customers are down here in South Texas, they like to fish the lakes and the coast. They want a reel that can do both.
I am slowing replacing my personal spinning rigs with Penn Fierce as well.
