PENN Tidal XT 8000 Longcast

When you need fishing tackle you can rely on. The one name that stands out above all the rest in the saltwater reel category for out-and-out strength and durability, its got to be PENN.

Now a reel that surf casting anglers have been crying out for,  an impressively strong and lightweight casting fixed spool reel that is designed with long-distance in mind.

 No stone has been left unturned in PENN’s mission to create a superb surfcasting reel, including a rigid and lightweight body and rotor made from XRC carbon, a durable CNC gear machined from premium metals, and a near impervious sealed drag with HT-100 carbon washers that don’t allow a drop of water, dirt, or sand inside.

The pièce de resistance of this resilient reel is in its casting. The Rocket Spool Design has been specifically engineered to help accurate and long-distance casting an easy job. This is partly down to the spool’s shape and design, but also due to PENN’s innovative X-Slow Leveline technology, which allows the reel to achieve more than 50 wraps of line per single spool oscillation. This means you’ll achieve impeccable line lay, which helps the line fly freely from the spool cast after cast. It also makes retrieving long casts much easier.

Finally a reel with 2 spools that are the same size both deep spools so no hunting around for a spare spool like the old spinfishers.

No less than 9+1 sealed ball bearings contribute to the silky-smooth performance when winding in or playing a fish.

The Quick Drag system allows you to quickly switch between the drag and free spool functions.

Two included line reducers can be attached to the spool meaning you’ll never use more line than you need.
