Penn Pursuit V Spinning 8000 819g 11.3kg 112cm 5.3:1

Penn Pursuit V Spinning 8000 — powerful saltwater workhorse

The Penn Pursuit V 8000 combines corrosion-resistant construction with a high-capacity spool and smooth HT-100™ drag system, making it a reliable choice for demanding saltwater fishing without breaking the bank.

Built to handle big saltwater species

The ultra-lightweight graphite body resists corrosion while the machined, anodized aluminum spool holds plenty of line—310 m of 0.46 mm mono or 434 m of 50 lb braid. The powerful HT-100™ carbon fiber drag delivers up to 11.3 kg of stopping power to turn hard-running fish, while 4 sealed stainless steel ball bearings plus one Instant Anti-Reverse bearing ensure smooth, reliable performance in harsh saltwater conditions.

Instant hook-ups, smooth retrieves

The Instant Anti-Reverse bearing eliminates rotor back-play completely, giving you solid hook-sets the moment you strike. Combined with a 5.3:1 gear ratio that recovers 112 cm of line per turn, you get the control and cranking power needed for working lures or fighting fish in current. The ambidextrous handle swaps easily for left or right retrieve.
