Penn Warfare Star Drag 20N — Versatile Power at an Affordable Price

The Penn Warfare Star Drag 20N delivers reliable performance for saltwater fishing without breaking the bank. With a lightweight graphite body reinforced by aluminum frame rings, HT-100 carbon fiber drag washers, and forged aluminum spool, this conventional reel handles heavy loads while keeping frame flex in check.

Built to Handle Saltwater Challenges

The graphite frame and sideplates are engineered with aluminum frame rings that improve rigidity and prevent the flexing common in budget reels under load. The forged and machined aluminum spool provides durability, while the machined brass main and pinion gears deliver smooth, consistent retrieves. Line Capacity Rings molded into the spool let you monitor your line level at a glance during a fight.

Smooth, Reliable Drag Performance

HT-100 carbon fiber drag washers provide consistent stopping power even when big fish put maximum pressure on your setup. The Instant Anti-Reverse bearing eliminates backplay, giving you immediate hooksets and solid control throughout the fight. With 6.8 kg of maximum drag and a 5.1:1 gear ratio, the 20N balances cranking power with line retrieval for medium saltwater applications.
