Penn | Tidal Longcast Reel

If you get up early and go home late to chase predators in the surf, you need fishing tackle you can rely on. For surf anglers, that means a reel that can withstand everything the saltwater has to offer, yet is lightweight and helps you make long casts effortlessly. This is the PENN Tidal... PENN has left no stone unturned in developing an outstanding surfcasting reel. This includes a tough and lightweight XRC carbon body, a durable premium metal main gear and a virtually impermeable sealed drag with HT-100 carbon disks that won't let a drop of water, dirt or sand inside. It offers everything you'd expect from a premium PENN surfcasting reel, but in a much lighter package, whether you opt for the 7000 or 8000 size. The main feature of this reel is how easy it is to make powerful, long casts to the horizon. Thanks to PENN's Slow Level Line technology, the reel achieves up to 50 line wraps per spool rotation, meaning line lay is second to none and line comes off the spool with ease on every cast. The 7+1 sealed ball bearings will hold up in rough saltwater, and the Quick Drag system allows you to quickly switch between the drag and free spool functions. The reel comes with two separate line reducers that can be attached to the spool to use less line per reel.
