Penn Slammer IV 2500 312g 9kg 99cm 7.0:1

Penn Slammer IV 2500 — high-speed precision for inshore saltwater

The Penn Slammer IV 2500 in its 7.0:1 high-speed configuration delivers 99 cm of line per turn, making it ideal for fast retrieves and quick lure presentations in demanding saltwater conditions.

IPX6-sealed durability meets CNC precision

The IPX6-sealed body and spool design keeps saltwater out of the internals, while the CNC-machined brass main gear and full metal body ensure long-term reliability. The 8+1 stainless steel bearing system, including a hydrophobic line roller bearing, provides smooth operation even after exposure to spray and splashes.

HT-100 carbon fiber drag for light-tackle control

Unlike the larger Slammer IV sizes, the 2500 features HT-100 carbon fiber drag washers that deliver smooth, progressive stopping power up to 9 kg—perfectly matched to inshore species. The bearing-supported drag system offers precise adjustment across the full range, from light finesse fishing to fighting hard-running fish.
