The Reel:
Built for those who expect a reel that can handle the stress of hard-pulling fish, the new PENN Slammer IV 8500 Spinning Reel is packed with more features than ever before. Building off PENN's proven IPX6 sealed body and spool, the drag system is redesigned to not only be better sealed, but also offer a wider range of usable drag, all whilst being bearing supported for extra smoothness. Adding PENN's all brass CNC gear technology, 8+1 stainless steel bearing system and Hydrophobic Line Roller Bearing has made the Slammer IV the ultimate workhorse reel.
