The PENN Slammer IV spinning reel is engineered for dedicated anglers challenging the fiercest game fish. While maintaining the robust IPX6 sealed body and spool of its predecessor, the Slammer IV introduces a significant enhancement: a completely redesigned Dura-Drag system.

This new drag is bearing-supported for improved smoothness and features superior sealing, providing a broader, more consistent range of usable drag force. Built to withstand extreme conditions, the Slammer IV is ready for anything you can throw at it.
