The PENN® Warfare was engineered to be an extremely versatile all- around reel at an affordable price. It features a lightweight graphite frame and sideplates with aluminum frame rings for improved rigidity to prevent frame-flex.  HT-100 drag washers provide smooth drag under heavy loads. Line Capacity Rings eliminate the question of how much line you have left when fighting a fish.

    I’m regretting my purchases

    Bought two Penn warfares. Don’t use for about 1 year, sat on a shelf.

    Began using recently in Mexico on a sailing trip and my fishing adventure turned into a non fishing adventure.

    Because the drag not working properly it caused multiple problems with my line and lost every lure as a result.

    I have spent more time trying to repair and figure out the problem(s) than fishing.

    I’ve lost so much money on this trip because Penn failed me.

    No a happy customer.

    Is this NORMAL

    Bought a Penn 20lw and seem to be having issues, like I reel it in but the handle just spins no line comes in then I adjust the drag slightly and the it starts clicking and retrieves the line, reduce drag and then nothing like what the heck is going on? I’m using for down rigger never come across a reel like this before can’t really use, is this how it works or is it broken?

    We're sorry to hear you're having trouble with your PENN 20LW. That doesn't sound like the experience you should be having. The reel should retrieve line smoothly when it's properly set up, so we'd like to help determine whether it's a drag setting issue or if the reel needs to be inspected.

    Please send us an email at support@pennfishing.com with the reel model, when and where it was purchased, and, if possible, a short video demonstrating the issue. Our team will be happy to review it and help get you back on the water as quickly as possible.

    Drag issues

    I bought this real brand new years ago and since day one, it has had consistent drag issues, it’s either too hard or too soft and the adjustment on the star spinner is less than half a return from either way. My opinion??? stay away and get something different.

    This is not the quality experience we aim to provide, and we’d like to make it right. If you’d be willing to give us another chance, please contact our customer service team directly at support@pennfishing.com, and we’ll work with you to resolve the issue, whether through a repair or another solution.
