Built classic PENN tough, Battle III meets the expectations of saltwater anglers as a true workhorse reel with incredible strength, smoothness and durability for its category. Incorporating the big-ticket item: PENN’s proprietary CNCGear™ Technology, Battle III’s gears are cut to exact tolerances from a solid piece of metal, leading to optimum precision, resilience and gear durability so you can crank in fish after fish. The Full Metal Body and Sideplate are as close as you’ll get to bulletproof in a fishing reel, providing a rigid framework to keep gears in alignment under the heaviest loads. Often overlooked in its category, the Battle III also comes standard with a HT-100™ Carbon Fiber Drag System, which delivers long term stopping power, sustained pressure ranging and killer heat dispersion for the most brutal big-fish runs.
