PENN BTLIV3000 BATTLE IV SPINNING REEL
Since its inception over 15 years ago, the Penn Battle series of spinning reels has become a mainstay among TackleDirect's customers looking for a high quality reel at an agreeable price. Known for its solid construction, strong performance, and stylish design, the Battle series has always delivered exceptional value and performance for both inshore and offshore saltwater angling. The latest generation, the Battle IV, continues along this same path carved out by its predecessors. Anglers can expect the smooth and powerful performance they are used to from previous generations, but now with more strength and reliability than ever before. The experts at TackleDirect find the Battle IV hard to beat in terms of overall performance, durability, weight, and advanced features when matched up against similar reels in its class.
A REEL YOU CAN RELY ON
The Penn Battle IV Spinning Reels are equipped with all of the same industry leading technologies that made the Battle III a fan favorite. These features include CNC machined gearing, the HT-100 carbon fiber drag washers, and a rigid full metal reel body. Penn raises the bar for durability and longevity with the Battle IV by implementing the Hydro Armor System. This feature incorporates strategically positioned seals to safeguard key areas of the reel. These seals are designed to shield the most vital internal parts while maintaining smooth operation, ensuring the reel endures even the toughest saltwater environments.
BTLIV3000 SIZING & APPLICATIONS
This is the go-to size for most inshore anglers. While the reel is still on the smaller end of the size spectrum, it has enough stopping power to put the brakes on just about anything you'll be hooking into in shallow inshore waters. Pair this size with your standard issue 7' medium power inshore rod for fishing with soft plastics, smaller poppers and twitchbaits, and light jigs. Suitable targets include a wide range of species including striped bass, redfish, snook, fluke, and much more. Spool this reel with 10lb mono or 20lb braid to have the perfect amount of line for a huge number of applications. The maximum drag is a respectable 15lb while weighting in at 11.6oz.
