| After a long day of fishing off
the Florida Coast testing products, a Penn Engineer and Penn’s
CEO were engaged in conversation. For years, reel companies mimicked
Otto Henze’s original patent of using a bridgeplate to mount
the gear stud and main gear. At the time this was innovation and creativity
at its finest. However, with the great advances in materials and machining
capabilities, the question was posed, why were companies using decade
old technology when a better, stronger, and more reliable design could
be used? A new, revolutionary concept was quickly sketched on the
back of a napkin and a new Patent was born. From this innovative and
revolutionary patent, Penn is proud to introduce a truly unique reel
design, an Integrated Side Plate. This integrated Side Plate (ISP)
serves as the basis for a new series of reels which is introduced
over the next few pages. But before its introduction, a bit more discussion
of the Integrated Side Plate design is warranted. |
