Penn Fierce IV

[KG]

I happen to see thar Tackle Direct had a Penn Fierce IV for sale. I went on the Penn website and didn't see a listing for this reel. Could you please tell me about the 

differences/improvements that were made to the Fierce III.

Thank you

Hello KG, 

 

The Fierce III and Fierce IV are very similar reels but the Fierce IV has been upgraded with sealed bearings.

There’s a fierce 4? When did that happen? Was it at Icast? I feel like at this point the fierce has become the battle and the pursuit has become the fierce. But I’m not complaining about sealed bearings haha. Maybe I’ll have to pick one up eventually.

The Fierce is a great reel for the money. I planned on buying the Battle until my local dealer handed me the Fierce and it felt every bit as smooth while costing a good bit less. I knew the rod I was going to put it on wasn't going to be abused so I went with the fierce and am loving it.

I work in a tackle shop and I still have yet to see a single fierce 4 with sealed bearings. They’re all stainless like the previous models. Any timeline on when fierce 4s with sealed bearings will start arriving on shelves?
