Designed with Penn’s flagship IPX8 sealed body and spool system, this reel is fully prepared for harsh saltwater conditions, heavy spray, and long battles with hard-running fish. The CNC-machined stainless steel gearing and Dura-Drag system deliver immense cranking power and smooth drag performance under extreme pressure, making it an ideal choice for popping, jigging, and heavy spinning applications around the UK coast.
