Penn Boat reels

[skatenchips]

Trying to put together a bit of boat kit on a budget aint bluddy
easy im finding....

All the TLD,s are goin for proper money on fleabay.
So as ive got penn 525 and 535 wos just wondering what opinions were on Penn Senator Boat reels
.......ie this one......have seen a few for reasonable money
just want summit second hand that is user friendly.
Ive only ever had star drag reels,so it not being lever
doesnt really matter too much.

The old penn senators are very good reels that just do what they are intended for, no thills or fancy bits just a well made robust reel that will last.

You just have to look at how many there are about to see withstand the test of time.

My opinion is that they are too big & clumsy for modern boat rods suitable for medium UK boat fishing, but............they are very well made almost indistructable and I will never get rid of mine.

I think the 112H 3/0 is a better bet for most UK boat fishing.
