REEL INFO: Penn Senator - Tried and true, the Penn Senator has been an icon on the big game fishing scene, even before the original release of the famous shark movie, Jaws. The Penn Senator remains the most trusted, most powerful star drag reel on the market. In fact, most of the original Senator reels are still fishing, even after decades of service. There is a Senator for everything from movie sized sharks to grouper, cod, and rockfish. (2005 Penn Catalog)

HISTORY: The Penn senator was one of Penn's first series. Two seperate Senator series were made at first: One for big game trolling, and one for light tackle fishing. In the early 60's the "Special Senators" were added to the series; reels for fast light tackle game fishing with extra power and a higher gear ratio. In the late 80's the Senator II high speed casting models were added to the Senator-family, and the remaining original big game Senators were replaced by new models. Most of the original big game and light tackle models are not manufactured anymore, but many of the later additions can still be bought today.
