Reels aren't in short supply either. Penn boasts one of the largest selections of conventional reels, in addition to their premium spinning and baitcast reels used for smaller species.
2. Durability
The easiest way to sum up Penn's durability is by pointing to the the resilience of the classic Penn Senator. A reel that comes in at a number of different price points with an array of different features to pick from, the Senator is built to last in the toughest of conditions.
For this reason, it has become one of the most popular reels used by big-game surf fisherman.
The power of wind, salt and sand is enough to break down the mechanics of any machine, but Penn's brute of a reel can withstand it all.

Additionally, Penn rods continue to improve as technology progresses. Several of their most popular offshore rods, such as the International and the Tuna Stick, feature both Aftco roller guides and Pac-Bay turbo guides for most optimal line protection available, in addition to a Stuart aluminum reel seat for unbeatable strength.
