Description

The Hooker Electric PENN® International® Detachable reels share all the same great features as the Standard reels, which means speeds of 500 feet per min with full variable speed at the turn of the dial. The main benefit though is the electric drive unit is fully detachable from the reel. This allows the angler to drop and retrieve the rig quickly, but when the bite hits, "off comes the drive" and you’re ready to fight the fish manually. Built from Aircraft-grade Aluminum construction right here in the USA, these reels are built tough to last a lifetime. Find A Penn Premium Dealer .

Field Notes

Use for deep-water offshore fishing where electric retrieval helps quickly drop baits or rigs and bring them back up. The detachable drive lets you switch to manual fighting mode when a fish is hooked, which is useful for heavy tackle applications and long days on the water.

Pros

  • Detachable electric drive for fast drop and retrieve
  • Variable speed control
  • Aircraft-grade aluminum construction
  • Made in the USA

Cons

  • Very expensive
  • Specialized setup not suited to casual fishing
  • Heavy-duty reel may be overkill for light tackle
