Quick take
A full-metal saltwater reel with Hydro Armor sealing and CNC gearing for durable offshore performance.
The Battle IV 6000 is a large spinning reel aimed at saltwater work from piers, surf and nearshore boats. It pairs a 5.6:1 gear ratio with a 25 lb carbon fiber front drag and picks up about 41 inches of line per crank. The full metal body and sealed construction suit anglers who fish braid for bigger species.
