The PENN Spinfisher VI features IPX5 sealing so whether it gets hit with water, or you let it ride in the spray all the way home, you don’t have to worry about saltwater getting into the gearbox or drag system. Our HT-100 drag washers are housed in a fully sealed spool to give the stopping power needed for big saltwater fish. A Full Metal Body and sideplate keep the CNC Gear System in precise alignment under heavy loads. Available in standard, Live Liner, Long Cast and bail-less models.

Beef Richards – August 19, 2020

Feels like a Penn Slammer at a better price point. I have 3 of these from 3500-6500 in both the liveliner and standard configuration. They all function great so far. I hadn’t bought Penn products in years because it felt like most of there products didn’t meet the quality standard that Penn was known for in the past. These justify the gold bling and higher price tag over something like a kastking or piscifun with a better feeling product. Only time will tell if they hold up to the saltwater like the old Penn reels did.

Would have had 4 of these, but I had to return one I bought used from Amazon warehouse because it came without the bearing cap opposite the handle. Would still buy again, and plan to buy another one to replace the one I had to return.

Nikola N. – August 20, 2020

I have had one Penn SS reel long time ago and was very impressed with it. After I left it in Australia I started using Shimano and Daiwa reels. Up to that point I had original black and gold Okuma Salina, what a great reel, just like Penn SS. Now, some Shimano reels I have are great (like Stradic, I own both FK and FL models), but some other models are really disappointing (Ultegra, Nasci , Miravel), and I don’t understand the hype. Same goes for Daiwa, had Tatula, Caldia, Luvias, Procyon, (all LT reels) are all flimsy, meaning, there’s plenty of handle slop, and rotor side to side movement, like, it just doesn’t inspire confidence that they could survive landing many big fish.

That doesn’t look like to be the case with this Penn Spinfisher vii and Penn Battle iii DX I have. And both of these are rated to have less drag power than Daiwa and Shimano reels in same size, but the body is strong and tolerances are way better, and therefore they are more pleasant to use. Plus these reels have new machined brass main gear that only gets smoother over time as the surfaces of gear teeth polish from use. Obviously these reels are heavier because the body is aluminum unlike most other brand reels on the market today, but they are meant for heavier duty use.
Great reel!

Sabina Kirchherr – June 24, 2021

recently purchased the PENN Spinfisher VI Spinning Fishing Reel, and so far, I am quite impressed with its performance. Here’s why I would give it a four-star rating:

Durable and Reliable: The construction of this fishing reel is top-notch. It feels solid and sturdy in my hands, giving me confidence that it can withstand tough fishing conditions. I have used it in both freshwater and saltwater, and it has held up exceptionally well.

Smooth Drag System: The drag system on the Spinfisher VI is incredibly smooth and consistent. It provides me with the necessary power to handle big fish, allowing for a seamless fight and minimizing the chances of losing my catch. The drag knob is also easy to adjust, making it convenient in the heat of the moment.

Excellent Line Capacity: The line capacity of this reel is impressive. It can hold a significant amount of line, giving me ample opportunity to target a variety of fish species. Additionally, the line lays nicely on the spool, preventing tangles and improving casting distance.

Anti-Corrosion Protection: The Spinfisher VI reel incorporates a sealed body and spool design, preventing saltwater and other contaminants from entering its core components. This feature is excellent for those who frequently fish in saltwater environments, as it helps to prolong the lifespan of the reel.

Overall, the PENN Spinfisher VI Spinning Fishing Reel is a reliable and durable option for any angler. It provides smooth performance, offers excellent line capacity, and incorporates anti-corrosion protection. While I am very satisfied with this reel and would highly recommend it, I am withholding the fifth star due to its price point, which may be a bit higher compared to some other options on the market. However, if you are looking for a high-quality spinning fishing reel with great performance, the Spinfisher VI is definitely worth considering.

This reel is very smooth and sturdy. Great for a pretty intense fight with a 25-30 pound King Mackerel. I would definitely recommend.

Newmanme – October 13, 2022

The new hardened, CNC’d, Brass Maingear is an awesome upgrade to the VII 5500 LC. I have two of them spooled up with 300 yds 30# power pro (the two rods in holders in the middle in the picture).

The long cast gets me 30 to 50 more casting yards because of its design and line lay. People on the beach are just awed at the distances you can reach. I have mine paired with OTB 12′ 2-4oz perfect Pompano setups.

They cast further, reel in smoother, and are IPX5 sealed. I know guys that have Spinfisher SS’s from I think the 70’s that are still ripping lips in the surf. These are workhorses with some luxury features.

I will only use Penn SPinfishers, Slammers, or Authorities in the salt and surf. No other reels stand up to Penns for the price and longevity.
