The PENN Spinfisher 850 SSM Spin Surf Combo brings together the rugged performance of the PENN Spinfisher 850 SSM reel and the versatile, value-packed SSM rod – the ultimate choice for Kiwi anglers. Featuring a full metal body and sideplates, the reel is built tough to handle the harshest saltwater conditions. Paired with an oversized HT-100 drag system and a high-composite graphite and glass rod, this combo is ready to tackle whatever fish you’re targeting, whether you’re on the rocks or surfcasting from the shore.
The PENN Spinfisher 850SSM Reel is packed with upgrades and improvements from the original Spinfisher SSM series. Now featuring newly designed metal bodies, Infinite Anti-Reverse for enhanced hook-setting reliability, a techno-balanced rotor, Leveline spool-wrap for smoother use with braided lines, and five sealed stainless steel ball bearings, this reel is built to last. The combination of a large line capacity, powerful drag system, and solid frame makes it a top choice for New Zealand’s land-based fishermen. Tried, tested, and trusted for decades, the Spinfisher 850SSM has earned its place as one of the most reliable reels in the game.
Designed to complement the legendary PENN Spinfisher SSM reel, the Spinfisher SSM Spinning Rod features Graphite Core Construction for increased sensitivity and strength. With a fast action for better hook sets, this rod is ideal for a wide range of fishing situations, from surfcasting to targeting those big fish off the rocks.
