Yes, the series is designed for inshore and nearshore saltwater fishing. Its full metal body and sideplate support gear alignment under load, while four sealed stainless steel ball bearings help protect internal components from corrosion. Those sealed bearings do not establish that the whole reel is watertight.
Compare weight, capacity at your line diameter, maximum drag and retrieve per turn. The 1000 is lightest at 221 g with 4.1 kg maximum drag. The 2000–4000 weigh 269–343 g with 4.5–6.8 kg maximum drag. The 5000 and 6000 offer 11.3 kg maximum drag at 524 and 567 g, while the 8000 reaches 13.6 kg at 785 g. Higher capacities and drag therefore come with more weight, so use the specification table to compare the exact models.
No. The 2000, 2500, 3000 and 4000 all have a 6.2:1 ratio, but retrieve 75, 83, 89 and 93 cm per turn respectively. The 8000 retrieves 112 cm per turn with a 5.3:1 ratio. If line pickup is your priority, compare the retrieve-per-turn figures rather than the ratio alone.
Yes. Every size has a handle that can be mounted on the right or left, so you can choose your winding hand without selecting a separate handed model. Instant anti-reverse prevents backward handle movement, and drag pressure is controlled by the front drag.
Use the separate length-and-diameter pairs for your chosen line type. For example, the 4000 holds 200 m of 0.31 mm mono or 240 m of 0.29 mm braid. The 3000 holds 150 m at the same mono diameter and 165 m at the same braid diameter, so the 4000 provides more line reserve at those diameters but weighs 17 g more.

The Penn Fierce V is a saltwater spinning reel for inshore and nearshore fishing. Its full metal body and sideplate resist flex under load and keep the gears aligned, helping maintain a smooth retrieve when a fish puts pressure on the tackle. Eight sizes from 1000 to 8000 let you compare weight, line capacity, retrieve speed and maximum drag for your setup.
CNC Gear technology provides precisely machined gear engagement for lasting, smooth power transmission. The gearing combines a machined/forged aluminium main gear with a brass pinion. Five bearings in total include four sealed stainless steel ball bearings, which help protect internal components from corrosion while supporting a smooth retrieve. The series also has a modernised body and a restyled spool.
The front drag uses HT-100 carbon fibre washers to apply drag pressure while playing fish. Maximum drag varies from 4.1 to 13.6 kg, so compare the individual size rather than assuming that all models have the same braking capacity. Instant anti-reverse prevents backward handle movement. The handle can be fitted on either side for right- or left-hand winding, and every size has an aluminium spool and a red/black finish.
The 1000 is the lightest model at 221 g and has the lowest line capacity and maximum drag. The 2000 and 2500 weigh 269 and 272 g, with progressively more line retrieved per turn and higher maximum drag. The 3000 and 4000 share a 6.2:1 ratio and 6.8 kg maximum drag, but the 4000 offers more line capacity and retrieves 93 rather than 89 cm per turn at a higher weight.
The 5000 and 6000 increase maximum drag to 11.3 kg. Choose between them by line capacity, weight and retrieve per turn, not gear ratio, which is 5.6:1 on both. The 8000 provides the greatest capacities, highest maximum drag and most line retrieved per turn, but is also the heaviest model at 785 g. A higher ratio alone does not mean more line retrieved per turn, as the figures below show.
Size | Ratio | Weight | Max drag | Retrieve per turn | Mono capacity | Braid capacity |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1000 | 5.2:1 | 221 g | 4.1 kg | 56 cm | 125 m / 0.20 mm | 115 m / 0.18 mm |
2000 | 6.2:1 | 269 g | 4.5 kg | 75 cm | 165 m / 0.23 mm | 165 m / 0.23 mm |
2500 | 6.2:1 | 272 g | 5.4 kg | 83 cm | 160 m / 0.28 mm | 200 m / 0.25 mm |
3000 | 6.2:1 | 326 g | 6.8 kg | 89 cm | 150 m / 0.31 mm | 165 m / 0.29 mm |
4000 | 6.2:1 | 343 g | 6.8 kg | 93 cm | 200 m / 0.31 mm | 240 m / 0.29 mm |
5000 | 5.6:1 | 524 g | 11.3 kg | 91 cm | 185 m / 0.38 mm | 275 m / 0.36 mm |
6000 | 5.6:1 | 567 g | 11.3 kg | 104 cm | 210 m / 0.46 mm | 355 m / 0.38 mm |
8000 | 5.3:1 | 785 g | 13.6 kg | 112 cm | 285 m / 0.48 mm | 355 m / 0.46 mm |
Capacity figures pair a line length with its stated diameter. Compare capacities at the same diameter where possible, and use the separate mono and braid figures when choosing your line.
