Penn GT Series Lever Drag Reels Reviews
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.
