This reel needs no introduction. First launched in 1936, the Senator Series from Penn Reels has endured the test of time. Senator reels are world renown for being the most universal, respected star drag reels on the market. Its rugged design allows it to be an offshore workhorse that has amassed more IGFA big game world records than any brand in the industry. The Senator’s legendary toughness and low gear ratios gives anglers serious leverage against hard pulling fish.
