Penn Pursuit III & Pursuit IV Spinning Fishing Reel

Product Information

In keeping with the Penn tradition, drag and spool capacities are generous. There’s plenty of fish fighting power. HT100 is a very smooth drag system that delivers under load.

So it’s heavier and more durable, and you can fight bigger game fish on it. But otherwise there’s really not much difference between the Clash and the Conflict, aside from the fact that it’s all metal. Our testing revealed that another advantage compared to the Penn Battle is that you get a sealed drag system. This is different from the regular HT 100 drag system and makes it much more resistant to salt water.

I recommend getting the 3000 or 4000 size version of the Pursuit 3 reel if you’re a recreational angler who needs an affordable but durable spinning reel suitable for small and mid-sized fish. Pen Pursuit 3’s maximum drag capacity is 20 lbs, whereas Pen Fierce 3 offers 25 lbs of drag capacity.

While testing the Spinfisher VI, we found that you can actually dump this fishing reel in seawater and submerge it completely – as long as you don’t leave it in the water for a long time, and then rinse it off afterwards, it’s good to go.

When we put it to the test, we found that the only minor downside of the Spinfisher is that it is a little on the heavy side (especially compared to the Conflict), which is due to its all-metal construction. All models in this series have robust bodies that won’t give in under high pressure. Still, frequent maintenance is necessary to prevent corrosion because the reel has no sealed ball bearings.The Penn Slammer has IPX6 sealing, which is more advanced than the IPX5 sealing of the Spinfisher, and makes it more resistant to saltwater exposure. So, while both reels can be dropped into saltwater without being damaged, the handle of the Slammer can actually be reeled underwater without any problems, while doing that with the Spinfisher would cause it to get waterlogged. And one disadvantage of a sealed spinning reel is that if water does get inside it, it’s really hard to get it out again. So make sure you don’t turn the reel handle underwater.
