Penn Battle IV 8000HS — High-Speed Power for Saltwater Predators

The Penn Battle IV 8000HS combines a 5.3:1 high-speed gear ratio with serious 13.6 kg max drag in a saltwater-sealed package. Built for targeting big coastal and offshore species, this 785 g powerhouse delivers 112 cm line pickup per turn and room for 470 m of 0.41 mm braid.

Hydro Armor Sealing Keeps Components Protected

The Hydro Armor system seals critical internal areas against water intrusion, so you can fish confidently in spray, rain, or rough conditions. Combined with the Full Metal Body and sideplate, the Battle IV 8000HS stands up to corrosive saltwater environments and the strain of hard-fighting fish.

CNC Gear Technology and HT-100 Drag Deliver Smooth Power

Penn's CNC Gear Technology machines ultra-precise brass gears for smooth, reliable performance under load. The HT-100 carbon fiber drag washers provide consistent stopping power up to 13.6 kg, while the 5+1 sealed stainless steel ball bearings ensure fluid retrieves even after exposure to the elements. The aluminum Superline spool is braid-ready out of the box, and line capacity rings show fill levels at a glance.
