PROS

- Different models of the PENN Spinfisher have different maximum drag ratings, often ranging from 20 pounds to a mighty 40 pounds.

- Regardless, its patented HT-100 Slammer Drag system makes it one of the most celebrated aspects of the design. This gives you excellent control over the mighty fighters of the great ocean blue.

CONS

- Most of the anglers who have negative experiences about the Spinfisher V point to a failing seal system. Once the seal has been tampered, you can expect the live liner system to start degrading and rusting, severely impacting the overall performance of the Spinfisher. It’s wise to maintain the integrity of the seal.
