Which sizes have the brass gears? Does it start at 6500?

Yep. Save a couple hundred bucks on 6500 and up if one is looking to get a big bad SLAMMER. The larger sized Spinfisher is basically the same built as the Flagship model, PENN Slammer.

Max drag on penn 7500 lc

All drag sets should be done with the breaking strength of the line in mind. Do Not put 28 lbs of drag on 30 lb line, try 10 -15 max. As your spool gets smaller (the fish is stripping it off) the drag increases proportionally so if he runs you down on line back off the drag some. As an exercise, set your drag at 20# or the appropriate setting 25-50%(max) of the line's strength, tie the line to anything you can hold and run with it to see how difficult it is to pull 20 lbs of resistance for 200 yds. No stopping. Compare your effort to that of a fish that is most likely a lot smaller than you are. Good Luck and tight lines.

Whats the difference between the 4500 and the 4500lbs?

4500 refers to the model of a Penn Spinning Reel. 4500lbs is a measurement of weight 4,500 pounds. I think you meant 4500BLS. The 4500bls is short for 4500 bailess. The 4500 is the standard version of the reel with a bail wire that most fishermen are familiar with. The 4500bls “Bailess version has no bail wire at all. Many of the surf and jetty fishing crowd prefer the simplicity of a bailess reel. These guys mainly fish with plugs and other artificial lures. They may make several hundred cast each fished session. This type of fishing is very demanding on a typical bail. Going bailess offers one less part to fail under extreme conditions. The reels are identical except for the weight saved by eliminating the bail

How to clean it after saltwater?

I don’t break it down and clean it after use but I do quickly dip in a 25?gallon bucket of water and then rinse thoroughly with a lawn hose but very little pressure. Equally important is using a white lithium DuPont grease spray. It’s fairly effective in preventing water from getting into the mechanism and gearing by repelling water.
