PENN BATTLE II
The new Penn Battle II spinning reels are perfect for the saltwater boat and surf fisherman alike. Building off the extremely popular platform of the original Penn Battle spinning reel, the Battle II takes your fishing to the next level. The Battle II incorporates keyed carbon fiber washers in the HT-100 drag system that utilizes both sides of the drag washers and increases maximum drag by 15 to 50 percent. With eight models ranging in size from the BTLII1000, which holds 130 yards of 8-pound braid on up to the BTLII8000, which holds 390 yards of 65-pound braid, there is a model to match your fishing needs. Further, with prices ranging from $99.95 to $129.95 they won’t break the bank and still leave plenty of room to stock up the rest of your fishing arsenal.
Every reel in the Battle II line-up includes the following standard features:
• Full Metal Body, sideplate, and rotor
• HT-100™ carbon fiber drag washers
• 5+1 shielded stainless steel ball bearings
• Instant Anti-Reverse bearing
• Heavy-duty aluminum bail wire
• Superline Spool
• Line Capacity Rings
The Penn Battle II offers attractive cosmetics, durable design, and silky smooth HT-100 drag as just a few of the many reasons why so many anglers fish this reel. The Full Metal Body construction allows it to maintain precision gear alignment under severe punishment. With the patented Superline Spool feature, no backing is needed under the braided line because the rubber gasket keeps superlines from slipping. The Penn Battle II is one of the best values on the market at its price point.
