favourite PENN reel? just one

[Aiala]

Whoa, tough choice, but if I could only have one... Jigmaster 500 w/aluminum spool. I think it's the most versatile of them all.

Jigmaster 501, having the quick take apart feature  was a big + for me and the fact that there is so many upgrades available

Marc..

112 h x2

I would go with my First Penn Reel the 180. I received it when I was about 7 yo. I caught many Fluke with it & my first Striped Bass. We had a 16" limit back then. Harry helped me bring it back to life after a long storage.

525Mag w/Torque handle.   Casts great, killer drag, plenty of power for fishing 15-25# line.

I agree with Bryan 420SS. under rated little tank  Doug

Can't give my choice of reel, I'm losing too many on line already , this one guy always outbids me.

Penn international 20 with a topless Baker frame and all of Cal Sheets upgrades. Great reel for fishing YFT.

*Old school International I 16...because I caught most of my truely great fish on it as a youngster.

Modern day..I have been highly recommending the tries and true bulletproof International II 80STW

9/0s also hold a special place in my heart.

The New Torques look like great little reels as well.

Now you have me thinking if I am using the right #.

[Islandgypsy]

Old two speeded 12T.

501 alloy spooled Jigmaster left handed. Perfect for a lot of the boat fishing we do over here.
