Penn International Torque TRQ300LD Lever Drag
Reel
After a long day of fishing off the Florida Coast testing products, a
Penn Engineer and Penn’s CEO were engaged in conversation. For years,
reel companies mimicked Otto Henze’s original patent of using a
bridgeplate to mount the gear stud and main gear. At the time this was
innovation and creativity at its finest. However, with the great
advances in materials and machining capabilities, the question was
posed, why were companies using decade old technology when a better,
stronger, and more reliable design could be used? A new, revolutionary
concept was quickly sketched on the back of a napkin and a new Patent
was born. From this innovative and revolutionary patent, Penn is proud
to introduce a truly unique reel design, an Integrated Side Plate. This
integrated Side Plate (ISP) serves as the basis for a new series of
reels which is introduced over the next few pages. But before its
introduction, a bit more discussion of the Integrated Side Plate design
is warranted.
