The SS series have been around a long time...but they shifted production in 2006 and did some updating of the line-up. They've earned high marks for ruggedness and reliability, as well as typical excellent Penn parts support. The selected reels feature a skirted spool design which allows for greater line capacity, longer casts and less line related problems. They also feature balanced 4.6:1 gear ratios, graphite housings, HT100 drag material, anodized aluminum spools, and stainless steel ball bearings. If you use spinning gear, you'll be pleased with this series of products from Penn. They're rock solid performers.

When the Going Gets Tough. Big fish are tough, but Penn's Spinfisher� SS spinning reels are even tougher.

Not to mention, our favorite charter boat captain, this is all he uses.
