Penn Battle II Reel Review: UPDATE IN OP!

Any of you folks have any experience with this reel? What's your opinions? Gonna be used fishing for trout and reds.
UPDATE: So I bought the 4000 Penn Battle II and it appears to be real nice. Hoping to test it out on the water tomorrow. The only potential problem I have is the reel doesn't "lock" when you try to reel backwards. I don't know if it's suppose to do this or not. When I try to reel backwards it just loosens the reel handle.

It's my go to reel. I own 5 and will add a 6th next time they go on sale (which is often). Nothing bad to say. Recently I started buying the entire combos. It's a very nice combo for the money.
I like the 2000 and 3000 with braid. The 4000 is too large for me in a kayak. I've wrestled some bulls in a bay boat as well on 2000 and 3000.

We sell a lot of the combos. Seems to be a pretty solid set-up.

It is PENN's way of connecting internals. Handle will come loose occasionally. Hold the spool/bale with one hand and tighten the handle with the other. I believe it's lefty tighty. Most PENN guys tighten it a good amount which stretches the bolt threads and keeps it from loosening. Obviously don't tighten to strip threads off.

I loaned mine to a 7 year old last year and he did that. How old are you?
Tighten the handle and don't reel backwards.
