Penn Spinfisher SSVII Spinning Reels What's New?

We are having a look at the new Penn Spinfisher Series 7 (SSVII) spinning reels and seeing what new features/upgrades it has over the previous version.
We take a look inside the sealed reel to see the tough gearing and how it stays waterproof.

We have used 25 of the SSV series in 7500 size, for the past 9 years on charter. They have done more than 800 days of hard fishing, catching snappers and yellowtail kingfish. The only service requirement in 9 years has been broken bail arms, caused by forcing the bail open when the swivel has been wound tight to the tip. Apart from that, zero service, and the drags are still smooth. Never had this longevity from any other brand, the extra weight is worth it. We have Just ordered 20 BAILESS spinfisher 6500 V11, thinking they will probably be bulletproof

Amazing reels for the price range. I started with the SSG's and original Slammers, I've had probably 30 from 2500 to 9500. I got my hands on one of the Vi and started replacing all my reels with Vi and Vii. Penn has been stepping up their spinning reel game the past few years.

Surprised that there are some difference between the US version Vii and UK version Vii. Especially the line holder.

Whats the size of the one in your hand? Is that the 4500?

[@paulthompson6607]

looks like a nice reel and a good price, When are you doing a review of the new Penn Tidal XT Long Cast?

[@GerrysFishing1]

We have seen loads of reviews of that reel online already which cover most of the ins and outs of the reel.

[@saltylawaia8958]

Are the spools interchangeable between the 6&7 in the respective size ?

[@GerrysFishing1]

Unfortunately not.
