First Year Manf.: Before 1941  Discontinued by Penn: Late 80's

REEL INFO: Mariner Series - The Mariner Series is virtually in a class by itself - the only reels designed specifically for deep sea trolling. The narrow spool design makes it easier to fish with lead core, wire, dacron and mono lines. Mariners have also proven themselves in the down-deep world of west coast rockcodding. From trolling for Canadian lake trout to jigging for big Pacific lingcod, Mariner does it deep. (1985 Penn Catalog)

HISTORY: One of the first conventional reel series, the mariners proved their capabilities and many of them were available for a long time. Of the 4 models in the series, only the #49 model, which was also made for the first time before 1941, is still around today.

Name/Series: 149L, Mariner
