Penn Pursuit IV Spinning Reel 5000 9kg 558g 91cm 5.6:1

Penn Pursuit IV 5000 — Lightweight Saltwater Workhorse

The Penn Pursuit IV 5000 combines a corrosion-resistant graphite body with a powerful HT-100™ drag system, delivering dependable performance for saltwater anglers without breaking the bank.

Built for Saltwater Durability

The ultra-lightweight graphite body resists corrosion in harsh saltwater environments, while the machined and anodized aluminum spool stands up to abrasive braided lines. Four sealed stainless steel ball bearings keep the retrieve smooth even after exposure to salt spray, and the HT-100™ carbon fiber drag washers deliver consistent pressure when fighting strong coastal species.

Instant Hooksets Every Time

The Instant Anti-Reverse bearing eliminates rotor back-play completely, translating every turn of the handle directly into line retrieval. With a 5.6:1 gear ratio and 91 cm retrieve per turn, the 5000 size balances cranking power with efficient line pickup — ideal for working lures through the surf or keeping steady pressure on hard-running fish.
