Saltwater fishing reel, the PENN Tidal Longcast Spinning Reel, is designed for long-distance surfcasting and rock fishing, delivering smooth casts and corrosion resistance. A lightweight XRC carbon body and sealed components reduce fatigue and maintenance during long sessions. Will distance-focused shore anglers find the performance and drag reliable enough?
⚡ At a Glance
- • Casting Distance: Slow Leveline spool delivers smooth line release, enabling extended, accurate surf casts
- • Best for: Saltwater surf and rock anglers who prioritise long casts and durable construction
- • Not ideal for: Anglers targeting very light freshwater species that need ultra-fine drag and small spools
Long-cast performance comes from Slow Leveline spool technology and a lightweight XRC carbon body. Sealed HT-100 carbon drag and 7+1 sealed stainless bearings ensure smooth, saltwater-ready operation.
Reach greater distances - thanks to Slow Leveline spool technology
Slow Leveline spool achieves up to 50 wraps per oscillation, producing consistent line release and reducing line bunching during long casts. The spool design controls the line lay to maintain momentum and accuracy over distance.
Easier, more accurate long casts help reach deeper water and cover distant feeding lanes without excessive effort.
All-day comfort - with XRC carbon body
XRC carbon construction combines high rigidity with low weight to improve balance and reduce overall reel mass. The lighter build reduces arm strain during repeated casts and long sessions on the shore.
Less fatigue while fishing means longer comfortable sessions and better control when casting and fighting fish.
Saltwater-proven reliability - thanks to sealed HT-100 carbon drag and 7+1 sealed bearings
HT-100 carbon drag washers are fully sealed to resist salt, sand and moisture, while seven plus one sealed stainless steel bearings maintain smooth retrieves under corrosive conditions. Seals protect internal components from grit and water ingress.
Consistent stopping power and smooth operation reduce maintenance needs and extend service life in harsh saltwater environments.
