This combo needs no introduction. First launched in 1936, the Senator Series from PENN has endured the test of time. The Senator is renowned for being a universally respected star drag reel. Its rugged design allows it to be an offshore workhorse that has amassed more IGFA big game world records than any brand in the industry. Great for trolling or bottom fishing, the high speed 113H/114H Senator models are paired with the PENN Slammer rod for balance and strength. The Slammer rods offer angler-friendly, fast tapered blank for improved leverage, fish-fighting power, and a great feel. Saltwater breeds a different kind of angler. It toughens you. It cures you like bacon. It leaves you thirsty for the next fight. Hard core saltwater anglers need equipment that is as tough as they are, and as reliable as the rising tide. At PENN, we’ve been testing the limits of saltwater fishing since 1932, which is why our reputation for durability runs so deep. PENN. LET THE BATTLE BEGIN.
