Penn Senator Reels Revies


Penn Senator Reels are great for heavier saltwater applications, these powerful, high-performance reels feature a classic design with tough molded side-plates and 2 chrome-plated brass rings with chrome-plated frame posts. Equipped with precision machined stainless steel gears and spool spindles, Penn star drag, a comfortable torpedo handle and quality HT100 drag washers

6/0 114 ratio 2.1:1, 48 oz 50 lb/475 yards

9/0 115L ratio 2.5:1 55 oz 50 lb/675 yards

This Penn Senator series of reels is among the strongest of big-game reels available it’s a tough guy reel no doubt about it. This is the best and longest lasting reel you could ever have you can find more expensive reels just not better.

Some whom have bought this Penn Senator reel are complaining about getting a different handle then the torpedo grip its supposed to have, I say bring it back get another but have them open the box to be sure it has the right one. I called Penn MFG. Company about this they said it was probably just a mistake, someone on the assembly line just put the wrong one on.

Most people that buy this Penn Senator reel use it to go for some pretty hefty fish I read a repot of 1 guy that brought in a 800 pound tiger shark whoa.
This is a great reel the drag can handle anything and everything, this is a very impressive reel.

Penn Senator Reels
have a special reputation among saltwater fishermen. Quite a few record fish have been caught on Penn Senator Reels and anglers who own the reel are quick to claim that a better reel for the money simply does not exist.

Penn GT Series Lever Drag Reels Review


The Penn GT Lever Drag conventional reels have an all graphite body that’s going to make this reel a lot lighter and better for jigging either from a boat or a pier or for what ever type fishing you plan to do.

A popular choice for trollers and live-bait anglers alike due to their incredible toughness. Lever drag allows precise control during the fight, allowing you to boat more fish. Graphite frame, anodized aluminum spool, stainless pinion, manganese-bronze main gear, 4 aircraft-grade sealed stainless ball bearings.

From all the reviews I have seen on the Penn GT Lever Drag it sure looks like a winner 5 out of 5 say they have caught some really awesome fish with this series of Penn Reels. I am still looking to see if there’s anything bad reported on them.

I found a few whom don’t think it as good as the 309 howsoever they don’t go into any real detail as to why its not very good, I have both and have had no trouble with either and I am not very gentle with my Penn Reels.

The last time I used my Penn GT Lever Drag was when I was fishing from 4th cliff beach by the North River for stripers and blues. There were people in a boat just offshore to one side of my friends and I. One in the boat caught a blue and tried to kiss it like it was a freshwater bass, it bit the tip of his nose off well it was pretty funny to those on the beach loll.
