Penn Battle BTL8000 Spinning Reel

The new PENN® Battle® spinning reel gives the angler the advantage, producing catches instead of just hook ups.

The full metal one-piece body and sideplate maintain precise gear alignment under heavy loads. And on the inside are more fishing fighting features like the Techno- balancedTM rotor that provides a smooth retrieve and won’t compress under load. Six shielded stainless steel ball bearings plus an anti-reverse bearing add to the performance. The main shaft is stainless steel for added corrosion protection and durability.

Beneath the machined, anodized aluminum spool are HT-100TM drag washers that have a wide adjustment range and stay calm, cool and collected in the heat of battle. No need for a mono backing with the spool, it is equipped with a superline spool band to keep braids from slipping. And to keep a secure grip on the handle, the Battle has an oversized soft touch knob.
