As a full time fishing guide, outdoor writer, seminar speaker and on the Penn research & development test team; I've seen a few spinning reels. Day in and day out, I fish with spinning reels. They are easy to cast, easy to care for and sometimes easy for my clients to tear up! I don't know how clients do it; but they do, new anglers will find any weakness in a fishing product! I finally have found a client and or new angler proof reel! This reel is a pleasure to fish with! It's the new Conquer spinning reel by Penn.

I've used the Conquer for the last ten mouths and after ten mouths there still like they just came out of the box. The new Penn Conquer is one tough reel! Finally a true Braid Ready spinning reel with a drag system that can take the abuse of braid and its high test. The Conquer comes in four sizes 2000, 4000, 5000 and 7000. Drag powers 2000 12 pounds, 4000 19 pounds, 5000 22 pounds and 7000 32 pounds. Conquers come with a Superline (braid) ready spool; no backing needed because of a rubber gasket on the spool keeps braid from slipping. It also has the E.A.S. Easy Access System which allows easy access to key internal parts for lubrication.

I'm very happy with the way this reel performs. For me as a guide one of the biggest advantages this reel has for me; I can step down a size in spinning reels for fishing. I used to use a 4000 size reel for Redfishing on charters and during tournaments now I'm using a 2000 Conquer; lighter & smaller yet stronger! Take a look at this great series at www.pennreels.com

If you have any questions about the Conquer, let me know.
