Penn’s Spinfisher series has been a longstanding success for this firm and for those fishing these fine reels. Over the years many improvements have been made, staying near the top of the field in offshore oriented spinning reels. The new VI versions offer improved protection from the harsh saltwater environment, they are a bit lighter, “tighter” in their feel though still very smooth in operation. The way the drags are protected from the elements represents the major change from their previous generation. Now the drags are housed in a sealed spool. Now you can simply hose down your reel without fear of salt and sand intrusion. The physical sealing of the body is now the same as the Slammer. There are more options in this new series, too. There are THREE long cast models, TWO bail-less models, and we have FOUR liveliner models for live bait fishing.
- IPX5 Sealed body and spool design
- CNC Gear™ technology
- HT-100™ carbon fiber drag washers
- 5 1 sealed stainless steel ball bearing system
- Full Metal Body
- Sizes 2500-5500 have automatic bail trip
- Sizes 6500-10500 have manual bail trip
The PENN Spinfisher VI features IPX5 sealing so whether it gets hit with a wave, or you let it ride in the spray all the way home, you don’t have to worry about saltwater getting into the gearbox or drag system. Our HT-100 drag washers are housed in a fully sealed spool to give the stopping power needed for big saltwater fish. A Full Metal Body and sideplate keep the CNC Gear System in precise alignment under heavy loads. Available in standard, Live Liner, Long Cast and bail-less models.
