REEL INFO: Jigmaster - To hard working saltwater anglers, the Penn general purpose reels, such as the Surfmaster, are as highly valued as mom, apple pie and the good old USA. These reels offer great value and serious features like durable aluminum spools, precision machined gears and Penn's famous HT-100 multi-disc star drag. Perfect for stripers in the surf, cobia off the beaches or albacore, school tuna or yellowtail in the open ocean. (2000 Penn Catalog)
