Penn Reels are the tough guys of the industry they started making Penn Reels way back in 1932. They are the very best on the market and they continue to improve every year. Their reels are made to withstand anything mother nature can throw at them Penn Fishing Reels will last you the rest of your life and probably your sons as well.
Penn Reels will cast further then most any other reel you have tried and they require very little maintenance, just spray gently with the hose and lube twice a month depending on how often you use it. Some say you need a casting reel to cast accurately but that’s just not so, most people that use a spinning reel can cast just as well.
Another misconception is that you need a casting reel or a levelwind when using larger lures or plugs and that spinning reels are only good for smaller lures and live bait and the reason is because a spinning reel puts to much action on a lure or a plug. What utter nonsense if anything you want action on a lure or plug but it really depends on how fast or slow you retrieve your bait.
Make sure you use a good quality line like Trilene on your new Penn Fishing Reels for really big fish try using Penn’s big game fishing line. If using an inferior line on a spinning reel you get kinks or a snarl in the middle of your spool, the last thing you want is losing a big fish.
