Description
The Penn Spinfisher VI is a simply outstanding saltwater spinning reel. It is our reel of choice for the majority of bass and pollock fishing trips in the UK and has performed equally well fishing in both freshwater and saltwater conditions. The reel’s line capacity for the weight and power output is excellent and the 6.2:1 gear ratio is optimal for targeting UK sea predators and in line with other best-in-class spinning reels like the Shimano Vanford 4000XG and even more impressive than Penn’s Slammer IV.
And I’m not afraid to admit that our approach to reel care is somewhat lacking. Which, when you’re dealing with saltwater conditions, will take months if not years off the life of your reel. However, Penn’s Spinfisher has remarkable durability and powers and recovery. If you take good care of it the reel will last for a decade or more.

FAQs
The Penn Spinfisher VI has a gear ratio of 6.2:1, which means that for every one revolution of the reel handle, the spool turns 6.4 times. This is designed for faster action rods and targeting fast, powerful fish.
As the Penn Spinfisher VI comes in multiple sizes, its braid capacity ranges in capacity depending on the strength of braid you’re using. Typically the braid capacity looks something like this: 310yd/10lb 270yd/15lb 220yd/20lb
Whilst the V and VI are both excellent reels there are some subtle differences with the VI model including the addition of the excellent value 2500 size, the improved saltwater resistance and exceptionally smooth casting and retrieving.
Yes the Penn Spinfisher VI is a sealed reel. It features IPX5 sealing, so it maintains its exceptionally smooth casting and retrieving regardless of the amount of saltwater spray it takes. However, you should absolutely still rinse the reel with freshwater after fishing in the sea.
The smallest Penn Spinfisher is the Spinfisher Vi 2500 size reel. A brand new addition to the range with the launch of the Spinfisher Vi range.
