REEL INFO: Spinfisher SS Metal Series - The Penn Spinfisher is by far the most recognized spinning reel on the market. The Penn spinfisher SS metal is available in 4 sizes perfectly geared for any of your saltwater fishing applications. All reels feature a super strong stainless steel main shaft, supported by bronze bushings: even under intense loads it will maintain alignment. Three stainless steel bearings (4 in the 9500SS model) provide consistent and proven performance. Spinfisher SS spools are designed to accomodate longer casts and greater line capacities, important when targetting trophy fish. (2005 Penn Catalog)
