Penn Battle IV Spinning Reel 8000 785g 13.6kg 97cm 4.7:1

Penn Battle IV 8000 — Built for Big Fish

The Penn Battle IV 8000 is a full-metal spinning reel engineered to withstand brutal saltwater conditions and the force of trophy-sized fish. With Hydro Armor sealing and CNC-machined gears, it delivers unmatched durability in the 8000 class.

Sealed Against the Elements

The Hydro Armor system seals critical components—body, rotor, and spool—against water intrusion, so you can fish confidently in spray, rain, and rough seas. Combined with 6 sealed stainless steel ball bearings (5+1) and a full metal body and sideplate, the Battle IV 8000 is built to last season after season.

Power and Precision

CNC Gear Technology machines each gear tooth to exacting tolerances for smooth, reliable retrieval under load. The HT-100 carbon fiber drag washers deliver up to 13.6 kg of stopping power, while the instant anti-reverse eliminates backplay for solid hooksets. An aluminum Superline spool with line capacity rings holds 435 m of 0.41 mm braid or 310 m of 0.46 mm mono, giving you the capacity for long casts and deep drops.
