Penn Spinfisher VII 5500 539g 11.3kg 98cm 5.6:1

Penn Spinfisher VII 5500 — Built to Conquer Saltwater

The Penn Spinfisher VII 5500 delivers IPX5-sealed protection and relentless stopping power for serious saltwater anglers targeting medium to large species.

IPX5 Sealed Protection Against the Elements

Fully sealed body and spool design with IPX5 rating keeps saltwater out of the gearbox and drag system, whether you're hit by waves or fishing in constant spray. The HT-100 carbon fiber drag washers sit inside a sealed spool, protecting the system while delivering up to 11.3 kg of smooth, consistent drag pressure when big fish make their run.

Precision Engineering for Heavy Loads

CNC Gear Technology with a brass main gear pairs with a Full Metal Body and sideplate to maintain perfect alignment under serious pressure. The 5+1 sealed stainless steel bearing system ensures smooth retrieves, while the 5.6:1 gear ratio and 98 cm retrieve per turn balance power and line pick-up for working lures and fighting fish in the salt.
