Penn Battle IV

“I’ve also got a Penn Battle IV 5k series that I’ve used for a few seasons and it’s holding up great.”

“I have a Penn Battle IV and I find if I dunk it even briefly in surf I have to let the drag all the way out and then strip a bunch of line, then slowly tighten the drag down again otherwise the drag will start to tighten itself as it pulls out. I feel like it is basically clearing the sand out of the drag itself and leaving it in the spool.”

“I have that exact rod and reel combo and it’s extremely strong and decently castable, and I’ve already caught some sizeable Leopard Sharks and Shovelnose Guitarfish off the surf.”

“I have a 9'0" Medium Fast Penn Battalion, with a 4k size Penn Battle IV. It is my perfect, all-around combo. I've gotten a few other setups since then, and nothing beats it in versatility.”

“I use a Penn Battle IV 3500 and 2000, having previously used a 4000 I'd never go back to it. Over a few hours fishing your arms will feel the difference.”

“I’ve been using Penn Battle IV 4000 and Penn Battalion II 10’ for plugs and tins, pretty good combo. 20 # braided. Unless you are really beating up that reel every day seems pretty unlikely to blow out gearing.”

“I just got the new PENN Battle IV combo, great quality for its price. I did the 9’ 6000 size.”

“I do own a 4000 penn battle IV. It is absolute tank I love it”

“I have a penn battle IV that’s pretty good.”

“Have a pair of them, last years (III) and the IV. Both are the best reels I've ever used for inshore saltwater fishing!”

“The Penn Battle 4 combos are awesome, get the correct size for your application though. I am a big fan of this combo, I have a 2000 on a medium light rod (the combo penn rod and reel) and a 10000 on a heavy surf rod that’s a diawa. I’m considering getting another”

“I have the 8000 and man oh man I love it with all my heart. For the price it’s a badass reel”
