PENN BATTLE II Long Cast Fishing Reel – Size 8000

Built for anglers seeking durability, strong drag performance, and generous line capacity, the PENN BATTLE II Long Cast 8000 is designed for demanding saltwater fishing setups. Its full metal body helps maintain gear alignment under load, while the HT-100 Carbon drag system provides controlled resistance when fighting fish.

The Long Cast version comes with two aluminum spools: a deep spool for monofilament line and a shallow spool for braided line. Additional features include a manual bail arm, Instant Anti-Reverse, and line capacity rings to help estimate the amount of line remaining.

With a 5.3:1 gear ratio and 112 cm of line retrieval per handle turn, this reel is a practical option for surf casting, rock fishing, and selected boat fishing setups when matched with suitable rods and line.
