New for 2020 PENN Low Profile Reels -Updated w/Pix

[Leprechaun]

As I reported a couple of weeks ago, here:

New Penn Fathom & Squall Bait Casting Reels Coming to a dealer near you soon!

Don't know much about these, other than Penn's site shows they'll be available in 200/300/400 sizes, righty and lefty. https://www.pennfishing.com/penn-reels-baitcast-reels-low-profile/#prefn1=ZZRSIZE&prefv1=300%257C200%257C400 The Fathom will be in the $250-300 range and the Squall $150-300...

"PENN is now in the low profile category with 2 great reels that offer the same durability, dependability, and resilience of our existing battle proven products."

I understand these are built in Korea by Doyo, the same OEM-builder that produces the Abu Revo Beast reels - which are pretty darn good reels, indeed. Also, my Revo Gen4 Winch has been bullet-proof this season - a really good piece of Korean-built engineering. No reason to doubt that these new Penns will be any different.

I believe that the same parent company now owns Abu, Lew's, and Penn - so its no big surprise that there's a familial resemblance between the three company's bait casting reels.

Ummm, what does any of that have to do with Penn’s new small low profile bait casting reels?

Chunkster - I'm a man of much patience, but please do not hijack any more threads with off-topic material. If you wish to beef about a reel manufacturer (which your posts above are so out there that I can't even be sure that's your intention), please put your points in the Reel Repair Board. This thread is about Penn's newest low-profile reels and that's where it will remain.

Stopped by Trophy Tackle today and they had stock of both of these reels. Looked at the 2000 and 3000 size in both. Very nice looking and feeling reels had a solid and smooth feel. Check then out if you are in the market for a low profile.
