The Penn Surfblaster III is a fantastic longcast reel, executed with the best features to make this reel as durable and strong as possible. Designed specifically for the avid beach angler, the forged and milled aluminum, tapered, shallow spool, combined with the extra slow oscillation system, allows you to cast farther than ever before with the Surfblaster III. The 5 sealed, stainless steel ball bearings, along with the direct acting anti-return bearing system, result in extremely smooth operation, even under pressure. The Surfblaster III comes with a deep spare spool, allowing you to always use the right line under any fishing situation.
