Product ReviewsPenn Spinfisher V SSV4500 Spinning Fishing Reel

Awesome reel in 180 ft of water

Firstly the reel was delivered in three days of my purchase in great condition. I was excited and decided to test it out in an offshore trip targeting Black Sea bass. Thought I’d be in about 100 foot of water or so. Getting there took 4 hours, way out there. The guy next to me was fishing with an electric reel and the depth was 180ft. I pulled up double headers of sea bass and huge porgies and bluefish all day long. This reel was amazing. Retrieve was smooth and fast. Can’t wait to see this thing destroy fish in the bays of Long Island in shallow water. Be buying the 6500 soon as it has a larger line to reel retrieve.
Quality reel for your moneyRead full review...

New Penn Spinfisher V 4500 Saltwater spinning Reel

I purchased this for my sons birthday. He is a avid saltwater fisherman in Connecticut for years.
He tells me that this one is the best real he has ever owned. He still has every Penn real that he<br>has purchased over the last 30 years. I used a Penn real 50 years ago. A name you can rely on.

Penn Spinfisher SSV4500 Spinning Reel

Received this reel and loaded up with 30# Daiwa J-Braid late last week. Have only had an opportunity to utilize on one occasion to date; targeting Black Sea Bass and Triggerfish. Reel was paired with a custom made 7' length/15 -30# line spinning rod ... both the reel and rod performed exceptionally well in water depths ranging between ~ 55' to 85'. Looking forward to many years of exceptional performance from both Reel and Rod.Read full review...

Excellent reels

I have all penn feels from 5 internationals to their smallest 420 spinning reels. Extremely sting and if needed to replace a part from wearing it out they are easy to find! Use penn exclusively and can't go wrongRead full review...

Solid reel, great quality.

I have 3 of these reels, 2 are the 4500 and 1 is the 5500 and I love them all. They have great drag, are built very well but with that quality hardware inside comes the weight. They are a bit heavier than some reels but nothing to keep me from liking them. I will definitely be adding more to my collection.Read full review...

Still a good mid-level reel.

Tried and true Penn Reel. Water resistant without the official IPX rating. Dunked mine a few times in the salt water and never had any issues afterward.

With the new VI series out, the V series would be a great alternative to those looking to save a bit of $$.Read full review...

Buy it once it is the top best in market.

The Penn Fisher well built looks nice . I have other Penn Fisher reels.
