Penn Senator Star Drag 115 9/0 — Legendary Big-Game Power

The Penn Senator has hauled more IGFA world-record fish from the depths than any other reel since 1936. Built as a low-gear winch for pulling anything off the bottom, this offshore workhorse delivers unstoppable torque and rock-solid reliability trip after trip.

Unmatched Big-Game Heritage

The Senator 115 9/0 combines a 2.5:1 gear ratio with marine-grade bronze gearing and a multi-disc HT-100 star drag system that delivers smooth, consistent pressure under maximum load. Bakelight sideplates reinforced with stainless steel rings prevent frame flex when battling trophy fish, while the machined aluminum spool and stainless steel pinion gear ensure decades of dependable service.

Built to Win the Fight

With 10.8 kg of drag power, 2 shielded stainless steel ball bearings, and a convertible power handle, the Senator 115 gives you complete control over hard-running pelagics and stubborn bottom species. The heavy-duty clicker signals every run, and 58 cm of line retrieval per turn keeps constant pressure on your catch. Holds 1051 m of 0.56 mm mono or 1554 m of 36 kg braid.
