I have hundreds of hours on my Senators and they have never given me any problems. I have a bunch that are at least 20 to 30 years old as well that are still in my rotation. Great reels.
Penn Senators are the best value money can buy!

I, like many others, have been using Penn Senator reels for over 30 years. They last longer than any others and are simply the best value in fishing reels you will ever find! Get some.
Always had senators and these and they are great!

had one for over 20 years and it is still going as good as the first day.
Time tested and truly legendary reel.

Great reel for catching small tuna and smaller sharks. My father and his father grew up using Penn reels and had a bunch of the Senators. My grandfathers old Penn is still going to this day and the reel is older than me (33), with little to no maintenance other than a little bit of oil here and there and a good freshwater spray down after saltwater use.
Dependable reel.

how would this reel hold up on big sharks, and also would it work on a ugly stik bigwater 7ft casting reel? Thanks
Alex T

Well this reel certainly has the braid capacity to deal with the relentless long runs. But it would make for a slow fight. the reel would pair and balance well with your uglystik as well

hi when replacing drag washers non metallic ones do you grease them
Donald
7 years ago
Certain non-metallic washers contain a solid lubricant, making them ideal in installations where external lubrication is difficult or undesirable. I would still recommend using a lubricant when installing non metallic washers.

Are these good reels for land base shark fishing blacktips ????
Devon
7 years ago
The Senators are a very popular option for land based shark fishing. So long as you choose a larger model with sufficient line capacity for you application this reel will preform well for you.

hi, Is this reel HT-100? and doing bottom fishing with 4/0 size isit the right choice with that gear ratio? thanks,
Customer Service
10 years ago
The Senator H2 does not use the HT-100 drag washers. It can be used for bottom fishing but, depending on the depth, you may want a slightly faster reel.

You could use this for wire but Penn makes a reel with a spool that is designed for wire. The 113H2SP http://www.tackledirect.com/penn-113h2sp-special-senator-reel.html
