PENN Battle IV 1000 Spinning Reel | Full Metal Body, Hydro Armor Seals, CNC Gear Technology, HT-100 Drag

The Battle IV: Built for serious saltwater outings

The PENN Battle IV 1000 spinning reel blends rugged durability with refined performance. Crafted with a full metal body and side plate, reinforced by CNC Gear Technology, this reel is designed to stand up to the rigors of big saltwater game. The Hydro Armor sealing system guards critical areas from water intrusion, helping the reel stay reliable when salt spray and spray from aggressive wakes are part of the day.

In hand, you’ll feel the confidence of a purpose-built reel. A 5+1 stainless steel bearing system and an instant anti-reverse provide smooth, decisive retrieves, even under heavy loads. The 47 inches (120 cm) of line per crank turn, paired with a 5.2:1 gear ratio, translates into steady line flow during long battles, while the right or left handle position adds versatility for your preferred fishing style.

Benefit from PENN’s HT-100 carbon fiber drag washers, which deliver strong, consistent stopping power with minimal wear across the fight. The Battle IV also features a ready-to-go braided line setup with a superline spool, so you can attach braided lines without needing a backing. The included line capacity options cover common saltwater setups, ensuring you’re prepared whether you’re chasing coastal species or testing offshore runs.
