Product Reviews

PENN® Torque® Star Drag is rated 5.0 out of 5 by 8.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Penn torque 12!!! I bought this reel last spring and it is by far my favorite conventional reel! It is well worth the money and it is the most durable reel I think I have ever had. I love all Penn reels in general and own many different kinds from thirty year old internationals to the torque and the conflict. They are all great reels. I have 300 yards of 40lb braid and I use it for bottom fishing in the northeast and trolling for stripers. It has smooth drag and for a 6:01 gear ratio it is very powerful and there is no Problem reeling in big fish. I will alway be a Penn owner and best of all they are made in the United States.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great product I was in the market for a set of six live bait king mackerel reels. I had narrowed my choices down to the Torque and the infamous Shimano Trinidad. On the fly I purchased a single Torque 30 back in October at the end of the fishing season and absolutely fell in love with the reel. The smooth retrieval, 3 stage bait clicker, and the ease of the star drag had me hooked. An added bonus was that the reel held over 400 yards of 25 lb monofilament. I went back and purchased 5 more to complete my set. Mounted them all on Star hand crafted custom rods and filled with 25 lb Berkly Pro Spec.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Jigging Reel I have had the Penn Torque TRQ25 for a number of years. Paired with a Torque Jigging rod it has served me well from yellow fin tuna to cod. Great all around outfit

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great reel I baught the torque 15 star drag a year ago and I'm so happy with it from dropping baits for winter fish like gurnard to live baiting for king fish a very well built reel and dose the job every time with out fail. Will definitely be looking to buy the bigger models in future. Sold on this product

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Superb Quality I bought a Penn Torque 25N several years ago to use surfcasting the Cape Cod Canal and beaches of Cape Cod. This is by far the longest casting reel I have ever owned, actually had to slow it down a bit at first. Since then, I have used this reel for casting, light trolling, jigging, and bottom fishing for fish ranging from black sea bass all the way up to yellowfin tuna. The Penn Torque has performed flawlessly, always. The drag is super smooth, and powerful. I would highly recommend the Penn Torque to anyone looking for an extreme quality, built in the USA reel. Congratulations Penn for bringing your high end manufacturing back to Pennsylvania. Penn shows that Made In the USA once again means Quality. I have been fishing now for over 60 years, still have several Penn reels that are over 40 years old and performing well. I did get away from buying most Penn products once they took manufacturing over seas as the quality was just not there for a very long time. Gland Penn is back.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Tank My first Penn after the redesigns and the direction the company took with its reels. Solid, made in the U.S. and smooth. Taking it apart for servicing and Penn took no shortcuts with what they put in there. Perfect for the west coast and tossing jigs.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from does what it is supposed to I originally purchased one reel, after using it twice I purchased a second one. This was two years ago. I have used them just about every weekend from April to November and never had a problem. They still look like new and work like new. I have recommended these to others. Typical Penn Quality and workmanship.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from great light weight strong overhead reel I use this reel in depths upto 120mts, fishing for reef fish, it has a great retrieve rate and has been indestructible for the past 18 months that I have been using this reel. I am running braided line and a blue water jig stick which makes a great matched combination.
