Penn Slammer IV Reel - 8500 HS

Strong, Tough and Durable - The fourth generation of Slammer fixed spool spinning Reels from Penn. The Slammer 4 features a fully metal body and all brass CNC internal gearing. This creates a super rigid and powerful spin fishing reel that is capable of handling fish of all size, right up to the largest and hardest fighting game fish. IPX6 Sealed Body and Spool - The most saltwater proof Slammer fishing reel ever produced by Penn. An ideal spinning reel for shore and boat fishing, the IPX6 sealing and hydrophobic line roller bearing means sea water will not penetrate. This means smoother retrieves when casting lures, poppers and other baits. Better sealing means better performance, less time servicing and a longer life for your reels. Slammer Dura Drag System - Completely redesigned and upgraded for 2022! The new drag system is better sealed, smoother and also allows a wider range of usable drag. This has been extensively tested by our Penn development team on species like Bluefin Tuna and other large pelagic fish. Make no doubts about it, the new Slammer 4 drag is a big fish stopper! Lightweight and Super Smooth - The Slammer 4 features up to 15% weight reduction from previous versions. Its solid all brass CNC gearing and 8+1 high quality Stainless Steel Ball Bearings make this reel incredibly smooth to operate. This is the perfect spinning reel for saltwater lure fishing, kayak fishing and boat fishing where a tough dependable reel is needed. Range of Sizes and High Speed Versions - The Slammer 4 comes in a range of sizes between 2500 up to 10500. Choose a high speed version for a faster retrieve rate. We created the 2500 size to be the perfect reel for saltwater lure fishing for Bass and Wrasse. The 3500-5500 sizes are excellent choices kayak fishing and the 6500-10500 sizes are great for overseas trips and for those larger UK fish species like Sharks, Tope, Skate and even Bluefin Tuna.
