PENNBattle IV 4000HS Spinning Reel - BTLIV4000HS [1621731]

I have many Penn Battle reels. I recently (May 2025) purchased this 1000 Series, and it works great for such a small reel. I used one for almost 30 years to catch my bait, and occasional a bass or other species of fish. I enjoy the lightweight and smoothness of this reel. Just a little maintenance and it will last for a long, long time.

Im using this on my 10ft surf rod. This real feels amazing out the box. Solid parts, looks fantastic and appears built to last. I took apart just to see everything and It was greased up well. It reels great and the drag is beautiful. It casts effortlessly. I paired it with power pro line. I did overfill the spool so I was forced to take out some line but my casting distance did not suffer. I donmake sure to rinse off all of my gear after fishing and I do not see any reason why this real will not last for years. If going on a longer rod I would size up. This is perfect for my 2 piece 10ft rod. I will be buying from Penn again. I camt wait to test out the larger reels.

Great reel. It’s not too heavy. I fish it with 8# test fluorocarbon for spade fish and trigger fish. It holds a ton of line so the can run without spooling me. Drag works great. It’s a Penn reel if you are looking at it you probably already know it’s a great brand. Holds up to the salt water and lasts a lifetime.

Great real for the money I love it I had it a couple years now works great

This a fantastic spinning reel, the action while retreating is so very smooth and while casting, the line spools off the reel better than any spinning reel I’ve ever owned! Way to go Penn, you really nailed this one!!!👍👍👍

Why did you pick this product vs others?:High quality reel for a really good price. Use the 5000 size for cat and carp fishing and it works perfect.

Penn makes great reels and the battle series is no exception. They could be lighter but if properly maintained, will last you many years of fishing.

Awesome reel. IMO the best bang for your buck reel on the market. I have them from 2500 up to 6000 and do all saltwater fishing. I've got some new ones and some I've been fishing hard for 5+ years without issues!
