Penn Spinfisher V
A total of 6 seals (9 seals on the live liner models) are used to create the new Water Tight Design used in the Spinfisher V. Whether you dunk the reel in the surf, or let it ride in the spray all the way home, you don't have to worry about saltwater getting into the gearbox or drag system.
A truly sealed drag system with a total of 3 HT-100 drag washers (1 on the top of the spool, 2 underneath the spool). All HT-100 washers are greased for smoothness and longevity. Extreme range, endless adjustment, and a large diameter drag knob so you can easily crank down to max drag.
A full metal body and sideplate keep precise gear alignment under heavy loads. No backing needed because the rubber gasket keeps superline from slipping.
Eliminates the question of how much line you have left when fighting a fish. The three lines on the spool flange let you know when you have 1/3rd, 2/3rd or a full spool of line. Also if you respool often these lines five you a benchmark for backing your superlines with monofilament which will help eliminate wasted time and line.
Live Liner Drag D Are you a serious live bait fisherman? The Live Liner drag was built for fishing live bait. Simply pull the switch back and the front drag disengages and runs off the Live Liner drag. The Live Liner drag is a much lighter drag that lets your live bait swim free. When you get bit, simply start cranking the handle and the Live Liner drag disengages, the front drag engages, and your tight on your fish.

The most highly anticipated reel to come out in quite some time. I'm anxious to get these reels in our client's hands and see what the feeback is. Penn reels have been synonymous with fishing reels in general for a long time. Lately they seem to be on a roll again and the Spinfisher V looks to continue that trend.
I've got to say I'm really excited for the new Penn Spinfisher V. When the Penn rep was in the shop earlier this year and I picked it up it just felt like a well made reel. The pricepoint is great for the solid construction. This reel should be around for a long time.
