Penn TIDAL Longcast Spinning Reel 8000 618g 12kg 4.3:1

Penn TIDAL Longcast 8000 — Effortless Distance, Unmatched Reliability

Built for dedicated surfcasting anglers who demand equipment they can trust in the harshest saltwater conditions, the Penn TIDAL Longcast 8000 combines lightweight construction with tournament-grade casting performance.

Cast Farther with Less Effort

The innovative Slow Leveline spool design achieves up to 50 wraps of line per single spool oscillation, creating an exceptionally even line lay that launches smoothly cast after cast. The Rocket Spool Design further enhances aerodynamics, helping you reach distant feeding zones without straining.

Built to Withstand Saltwater Punishment

Engineered with a rigid yet lightweight XRC carbon body and rotor, the TIDAL 8000 balances durability with all-day comfort. Eight sealed ball bearings resist saltwater intrusion, while the waterproof sealed drag system with HT-100 carbon washers keeps sand, dirt, and spray out of critical components. The Instant Anti-Reverse system ensures solid hooksets every time.
