Number of Pieces

Reel Size

Conventional Reels are sized to hold 300 yards of monofilament line at the lb./test indicated by the size.

Example: a conventional reel in size 15 holds approximately 300 yards of 15 lb. test monofilament line.

Spinning Reel sizes vary by manufacturer. To best understand the size of a PENN spinning reel, refer to the line capacity rating for the reel. Size standards are consistent across PENN spinning reels.

Magnetic Braking is an externally adjustable braking system. This system applies a constant force throughout the cast, determined by the magnets’ proximity to the spool.
