Penn Reels: Reel Workhorses for Aussie Anglers
If you’re anything like our team of anglers at the fishing tackle shop who thrive on fighting with challenging saltwater fish, the sort that gives you a huge adrenaline rush, then a fishing reel brand to consider is Penn!
Penn Reels is a legendary fishing brand in Australia that has existed for many decades! Penn has consistently delivered top-quality fishing reels, from the old, original American-made Spinfisher SS (no longer available) to all the modern models. The Battle, Slammer, Spinfisher SSV, and Pursuit series are all synonymous with being tough, reliable reels built to conquer the challenges of Australian saltwater fishing.
You’ll note that some of the Penn fishing reel model names represent war because Penn reels focus on their ability to battle hard-charging fish. They’re built tough. Whether you're battling hard-fighting barra in the Top End, wrestling mulloway off the southern Australian beaches, or jigging up a storm for snapper or tuna on a structure-heavy reef somewhere down the great Australian bite, a Penn reel is a brand option that we recommend here at the fishing tackle shop and is ready for the challenge.
Built to Battle Aussie Saltwater Fish:
Aussie fish are notorious for their charging and fighting force, and Penn reels are made to contest the tenacity that these fish in our waters dish out. Penn fishing reels feature strong construction with high-quality materials that are better prepared to withstand the harsh Aussie environment – think saltwater spray, scorching sun, and countless battles with drag-screaming fish such as Kingfish.
Penn's commitment to quality doesn't stop with materials. Some of their reels incorporate innovative technologies like:
- HT-100 Drag System: These drags on most premium models are known for their smooth operation and exceptional stopping power, perfect for hauling hard-charging fish.
- Level Wind Technology: (on overheads) This technology ensures your line lays evenly on the spool, preventing frustrating tangles and line breaks during casts and retrieves.
- Sealed Ball Bearings: These stainless-steel bearings offer superior corrosion resistance, keeping your reel performing smoothly for future seasons.
