Product Reviews

PENN® Senator® Star Drag is rated 4.7 out of 5 by 23.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from AWESOME REEL!! Used my Penn Senator 14/0 Senator to land a 13ft2inch Hammerhead Shark from the beach. Star drag worked great.This reel is a classic that can land the biggest fish out there.Shark was tagged and released.The reel is durable and holds a ton of line.who wouldn't want the reel from JAWS?

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great reel great price Bought 2 of these reels last week, got them spooled and they are already working great!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fear No Fish! My 12/0 on a Penn International V is a shark busting machine. Lock the drag down, hammer that star and start putting a whooping on the biggest leviathins the deep has to offer.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great reel! I bought the 115L2, which is Penn's 9/0, about two months ago. It is an awesome workhorse reel. First time taking it out, I caught a 6' and a 6-1/2' sandbar shark off the beach. It handled both 200 lb+ fish like a champ!!! It was still warm outside here, and after both catches the gears didn't even feel warm to the touch. The only reason I can't give it a 5 star rating (and I really want to), is because of a seemingly small design flaw with the rear clamp (the one that fits around the back side of the pole). On the second use, both bolts came loose and fell into the sand to never be found again (I had tightened it very tightly before use). I found the clamp in the sand and was able to order two replacement bolts for it. So, second go at it, I used a mild-removable loctite on the threads of the bolts, and they haven't come loose again. Other than that, I would highly recommend this reel!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great multipurpose reel This reel is the backbone of the Penn all purpose saltwater line in my opinion. Quality build, easy to service and repair. Smooth drag and indestructible. Have had mine, (2 of them), for over 15 years and are still as reliable today as the day I bought them. Use them for trolling, kingfish, dolphin, sailfish and grouper as well as conventional bottom fishing for grouper, black bass, grunts, snappers and the "reef donkey" amberjacks. Highly recommend these reels if you want a reliable, all purpose reel that you can depend on for years to come.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Nice Blufin Tuna We caught this nice bluefin tuna a while back and the Penn Senator handled it nicely with only 50lb test mono!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from The long last Penn from USA I have many Penn conventional reels, 1 x 149, 1 x 155, 1 x 285, 1 x 350, 1 x 309M, 1 x 500, 2 x 60, 2 x 65, 2 x 66, 3 x 67, 7 x 68, 1 x 112H, 1 x 113H, 2 x 113HLW, 7 X 114H, 2 x 115L. The lighter ones, from 155 to 113H, are easy casting (with 30# to 50# mono) from pier, shore, etc. yet they are very strong against fish up to 150# range. Thanks to the low gear ratio, like the 5-ton truck transmission, you can slowly winch in the big fish with these small reels. The heavier 114H and 115L are very versatile, with the new braided lines, you can spool from 800 to 1300 yards of 100 lb Spectra braids. I have used the 114H to bring in fish from 10 lb to 450 lb, and have used the 68 for 2 lb to 150 lb fish. That was why I have 7 of each, the true American workhorses that last for very long time, if you maintain them properly. The reason I only give 4 stars is the weaker drag force designed for these Penn reels.
