5500 fishing reel Spinfisher VII Spinning The Penn Slammer IV Spinning Reel is packed with more features than ever before Shimano ULT5500XTD Ultegra XTD Surf

The rod adopts a tapered design with a quick rise in the butt section, allowing for a higher lure weight capacity and stable handling of large lures such as Magnum Cranks and 2oz-class big baits
