Penn Battle II Spinning Reels

Since 1932, the Penn Fishing Tackle Company has been making quality reels, rods and other fishing tackle. It’s particularly noted for making saltwater fishing reels that can stand up to the harsh marine environment and its fearsome fighters.

Penn Battle II Spinning Reels are no exception. Built like tanks but surprisingly affordable, the lineup of Penn Battle 2 reels includes versions that can handle everything from perch and snapper to cow bass and alligator blues.

Even though it’s tough, this reel is a smooth operator. The Battle II has Penn’s HT-100 Versa-Drag washers keyed into the spool, which allows both sides of each drag washer to be used. This gives the Battle II higher max drags.

Choose from versions including the Penn Battle 4000, which can hold 270 yards of 8-pound mono, and the Penn Battle 8000, which can spool up 340 yards of 20-pound-test monofilament. For a great Penn Battle 5000 deal or any of its cousins, look no further than TackleDirect.
