From inshore casting to heavier saltwater setups, a spinning reel needs to stay rigid and controlled when the load increases. The PENN Battle IV DX Spinning Reel upgrades the Battle platform with brass main and pinion gears, Hydro Armor protection, HT-100 carbon fiber drag washers, and a Full Metal Body and sideplate.

The Battle IV DX lineup covers lighter 2500-size spinning setups through the higher line capacity and drag capability of the 8000. Its Full Metal Body, brass gearing, and HT-100 drag system provide a solid platform when repeated casting turns into a hard fight, while Hydro Armor helps protect critical areas from water intrusion.
Use the model specifications above to match reel size, line capacity, drag, retrieve rate, and weight to your rod and fishing application, then put the DX's brass gearing and rigid metal construction to work on the water.
The Battle IV DX uses CNC Gear Technology with brass main and pinion gears and features PENN's Hydro Armor system. It also combines HT-100 carbon fiber drag washers with a Full Metal Body and sideplate.
The Battle IV DX is offered in 2500, 3000, 4000, 5000, 6000, and 8000 models. Gear ratio, line capacity, maximum drag, retrieve rate, and reel weight vary by model.
Yes. The Battle IV DX features a Superline Spool for braided line and Line Capacity Rings that provide a quick reference for remaining line capacity.
PENN describes Hydro Armor as sealing critical areas from water intrusion. It should not be interpreted to mean the entire reel is waterproof or designed for submersion.
Match the model to your rod, line class, target species, and application. The specification table makes it easier to compare reel weight, line capacity, maximum drag, gear ratio, and retrieve rate across the six available sizes.
