Penn
The company's growth in the early thirties was dramatic, especially considering that America was at the height of the depression. Tough times proved to be an advantage for the start-up company, since many people fished for their food. Penn's affordable reels were just what men needed to put food on the table, day after day. In 1936, Penn introduced its most famous reel to this day, the "Senator."
Throughout the early years, Penn reels were used by such well-known and prestigious fisherman as Zane Gray and Ernest Hemingway and have been used in years since to set numerous world records.
The company's commitment to quality products designed for the world's most favorite pastime is evident in today's product range, encompassing salt and freshwater rods and reels, line, and fishing accessories.

Saltwater conventional rods and reels are specifically designed to tackle the challenges of saltwater angling, particularly for big game and offshore fishing. Conventional rods are sturdy, built with heavy-duty materials like fiberglass or composite blends, and feature robust reel seats to handle the strain of battling powerful fish. Paired with a saltwater conventional reel, which typically utilizes a lever drag system, these setups provide exceptional line capacity, strong drag power, and smooth line retrieval. The level wind mechanism ensures even line distribution during retrieval. Saltwater conventional rods and reels are ideal for targeting species like marlin, tuna, and sailfish, offering the strength and control required to conquer the demanding saltwater environment.
