NEW
MEMBER OF PENN GS FAMILY OF FINE REELS
New! Penn 525GS. The newest, smallest member of the Penn GS family is one tough little brother. Like Penn's other high speed GS reels, the new 525GS offers superior castability, a blazing gear ratio and a super strong, lightweight one piece graphite frame. Weighing in at only 17.5 ounces, the 525GS is built to take on heavyweight saltwater predators like school tuna, slammer blues and big redfish. Four High Speed Fighters! Penn's GS Series includes the new 525GS high capacity 555GS, the narrow frame 545GS and the compact 535GS. All feature ultra high speed retrieve ratios for working jigs fast and fighting fish with awesome effectiveness. One Piece, High Strength Graphite Frame. Lightweight, one piece, graphite composite frames provide exceptionally high strength and precision alignment, without even a hint of distortion or flex. Adding even more strength are corrosion resistant metal inserts in both the front and rear spacer bars -- a Penn exclusive. The side plates are set off by polished stainless steel rings that add strength and durability as well as beauty. Super Duty, High Speed Gearing Systems. Penn's GS Series reels are built Penn tough -- with stainless steel pinion gears and high strength bronze alloy main gears. All are precision machined for super smooth operation and astounding reliability. A special new gear forward design allows for oversize gears in the Penn GS series reels. The results are stronger gears and lightning fast gear ratios. Lightweight Black Anodized Aluminum Spool. All four GS Series reels feature black anodized, lightweight aluminum spools for easier, longer casts. These spools are built strong and with a high capacity for tackling the world's toughest saltwater fish. Sealed Stainless Steel Ball Bearings. Penn's GS Series reels are exceptionally smooth, thanks to four aircraft quality stainless steel ball bearings in each model. The ball bearings are sealed against water, dirt, dust and other contaminants. The new 525GS also features a one-way roller bearing which eliminates handle "kick back" and provides rock-solid hooksets. Powerful HT100TM Multi-Disc Star Drag. The GS Series reels are all equipped with Penn's exclusive HT100TM multi-disc star drag system for super smooth stopping power. Each model also has a new ergonomically designed star drag wheel with ultra-fine threads. This lets you fine tune the drag with minute adjustments in pressure. A special collar under the star drag wheel helps seal the drag system from dirt and salt water. Lightweight "Soft Grip" Handle. Penn's GS reels feature specially designed lightweight handles. Each handle is machined from high grade aluminum, then equipped with a contoured counterbalance. Plus, each features Penn's exclusive soft grip, for a comfortable and secure grip, even when your hands are wet and slimy. Special Casting Control System. Located inside the left side plate assembly of all four GS Series reels is a centrifugal casting control to help reduce backlashes. If you wish to cast with this centrifugal control, engaging this system is simple and easy. Super Duty Shifting System. All four Penn GS models feature an exclusive double-spring free spool system for positive, crisp shifting and even greater reliability. The contoured, ergonomically engineered free spool lever is crafted from a high strength graphite composite. Other Quality Features.
