Machined, Bar Stock Aluminum Frame.
Each Penn International® fly reel features the
strength of a one piece frame, machined from the highest grade bar stock marine aluminum.
Spools are also machined from the same bar stock aluminum. The whole reel is then anodized
in either a black or gleaming gold finish for good looks and corrosion resistance. Smooth, Powerful Penn HT100TM Drag System. Drag System. Like the Penn International® lever drag reels, Penn's International®
saltwater fly reels are equipped with an oversized HT100TM
drag disc and separate stainless steel drag pressure plate. This exclusive system delivers
smoother sustained braking power and superior heat dissipation during long fights.
High Strength. Marine Grade Components. Each reel is built to
fish hard, with super strong, corrosion resistant components, including: stainless steel
spindle, three aircraft quality ball bearings, bronze double dogs to prevent internal
damage, and machined aluminum reel stand with a special stabilizing bar for a rock-solid
connection.
Right or Left Hand Drive. Except for the 4G-AR, Penn
International® fly reels feature a single, direct
drive action. The 4G-AR features a specially designed double-dog anti-reverse system that
prevents the handle from turning backward when a fish takes line against the drag. All
International® fly reels are shipped from the
factory in right hand drive, but are easily convertible to left hand drive.
