General Specifications
About the Product
With an all metal body and side-plate ensuring perfect gear alignment under heavy loads, the Spinfisher V series reels are built to battle big fish. The reel features 6 waterproof seals that eliminate water getting in to the gearbox and drag system.
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.
