Yes. Its stated purpose is saltwater surfcasting, with Slow Leveline line lay and Rocket Spool Design for distance casting. The 7+1 sealed bearings and waterproof HT-100 drag protect these components against saltwater spray and contamination, but no whole-reel waterproof rating is stated.
Choose the 7000 for lower weight at 527 g and 400 m of 0.35 mm mono. Choose the 8000 for more capacity at the same diameter, 550 m, accepting its 618 g weight. The 7000 has a 4.8:1 ratio and 98 cm retrieve per turn, while the 8000 has a 4.3:1 ratio and 100 cm retrieve. Both offer 12 kg maximum drag, so the larger size adds capacity rather than a higher drag rating.
No. Both sizes are supplied without line and have aluminium spools, so you need to load your chosen main line before fishing. Included line reducers attach to the spool and reduce the amount of line needed to fill it.
Yes. The handle position is right/left, so you can fit it to suit your winding hand. Both sizes have a front drag with Quick Drag for fast changes between drag and free-spool settings, allowing you to change the line-release setting quickly without changing reel size.

The PENN TIDAL Longcast is a fixed-spool sea fishing reel designed for surfcasting in saltwater. Slow Leveline technology lays up to 50 wraps of line per spool oscillation, helping line leave the spool easily during the cast. The Rocket Spool Design supports long-distance casting from the beach.
A rigid, lightweight XRC carbon body combines with a durable main gear made from premium metals. The 7+1 sealed bearings are designed for exposure to saltwater spray. The waterproof, sealed front drag uses HT-100 carbon washers to keep water, dirt and sand out of the drag system, with a maximum drag of 12 kg on both sizes. This protection refers to the drag and sealed bearings, not a stated waterproof rating for the entire reel.
The 7000 weighs 527 g, has a 4.8:1 gear ratio and retrieves 98 cm of line per handle turn. Its monofilament capacity is 530 m at 0.30 mm, 400 m at 0.35 mm or 305 m at 0.40 mm. Choose it for the lighter of the two reels when this line capacity meets your needs.
The 8000 weighs 618 g, has a 4.3:1 gear ratio and retrieves 100 cm per turn. Its monofilament capacity is 550 m at 0.35 mm, 430 m at 0.40 mm or 340 m at 0.45 mm. It holds more line at the shared 0.35 mm and 0.40 mm diameters, with a 91 g weight increase. Despite the lower gear ratio, its retrieve per turn is slightly greater. Both sizes share the casting design and 12 kg maximum drag.
The handle can be fitted on the right or left, and Instant Anti-Reverse provides immediate anti-reverse engagement. Quick Drag allows a fast change between the drag and free-spool settings. The specified drag type is front drag.
Both sizes have an aluminium spool and a Silver/Gold finish. They are supplied without line, so select and load your own main line. Supplied line reducers fit to the spool to reduce the amount of line needed for filling it.
