Penn Spinfisher VI Saltwater Spinning Fishing Reel - IPX5 Metal Spool

Penn Engineered to withstand the harshest saltwater environments, the Spinfisher VI Spinning Fishing Reel combines robust protection with fluid cranking power. Featuring an IPX5 sealed design across both the spool and gearbox, this reel prevents corrosive saltwater, fine sand, and heavy sea spray from reaching critical mechanical components. The foundation is built upon a rigid, full-metal body and sideplate that keep the precision-machined CNC gear technology in flawless alignment under heavy drag loads. Equipped with an HT-100 carbon fiber front drag system delivering up to 25lb (11.3kg) of stopping power, this reel provides the leverage required to tame hard-fighting pelagic and inshore species. A smooth 5+1 stainless steel bearing system ensures effortless rotation, while the braid-ready Superline spool with integrated line capacity rings eliminates line slippage and lets you know exactly how much line remains during the fight.
