Penn Spinfisher VII Long Cast 5500LC — sealed power for saltwater distance casting

The Spinfisher VII Long Cast 5500LC combines IPX5-sealed construction with a specialized long-cast spool design, delivering reliable performance in the harshest saltwater conditions while maximizing casting distance.

IPX5 sealed protection against saltwater intrusion

IPX5 sealing protects both the body and spool from saltwater spray, waves, and harsh marine environments. The fully sealed spool houses HT-100 carbon fiber drag washers that deliver up to 20 kg of stopping power without exposure to corrosive saltwater. A Full Metal Body and sideplate maintain precise CNC Gear alignment under heavy loads, while the brass main gear and 5+1 sealed stainless steel bearing system ensure smooth operation trip after trip.

Leveline Oscillation System for superior casting performance

The Leveline Oscillation System lays line evenly across the spool, reducing friction and enabling longer, more accurate casts—essential when targeting distant structure or working expansive flats. The 5500LC size offers 325 m / 0.28 mm line capacity with 91 cm retrieve per turn at a 4.8:1 gear ratio, balancing casting distance with efficient line pickup. The 590 g weight keeps the reel comfortable during extended sessions, while the instant anti-reverse and right/left interchangeable handle suit any angler's preference.

Choose the right variant

Penn offers three Long Cast sizes to match your target species and fishing style:

• 5500LC (590 g, 20 kg drag, 325 m / 0.28 mm, 91 cm retrieve) — ideal for medium saltwater species, inshore predators, and situations requiring balanced casting distance with manageable weight

• 6500LC (692 g, 20 kg drag, 450 m / 0.31 mm, 107 cm retrieve) — suited for larger inshore and light offshore species where extra line capacity and faster retrieval are needed

• 7500LC (790 g, 25 kg drag, 590 m / 0.31 mm, 94 cm retrieve) — designed for heavy offshore work, trophy fish, and conditions demanding maximum drag power and line capacity
