REEL DISCONTINUED BY PENN

The PENN Defiance was engineered to be an extremely versatile all-around reel at an affordable price. It features a lightweight graphite frame and sideplates with stainless steel frame rings for improved rigidity to prevent frame-flex. HT-100 drag washers provide smooth drag under heavy loads. Line Capacity Rings eliminate the question of how much line you have left when fighting a fish.

Highlights:

Versa Handle Versa Handle system allows the angler to choose how long the handle should be in less than a minute, tools are provided with each reel. You can choose between having the power to bring in the big fish, or the speed to bring in your bait off the bottom.

Braid Ready Braid ready to handle the strain that braided line puts on a reel. HSP models have a brass spool for wireline capabilities.

HT-100 HT-100 Drag Washers provide smooth drag under heavy loads. Reel in that trophy fish with confidence in your reel.

Features:

  • Lightweight graphite frame and sideplates
  • Forged, machined, and anodized aluminum spool
  • Stainless steel frame rings enhances rigidity to prevent "frame-flex"
  • Machine cut marine grade bronze main gear with hardened stainless steel pinion
  • HT-100 carbon fiber drag washers

Review by Arlon Kennedy on 4/27/2016

I live in South Florida and consider it a must that I take advantage of the greatest deep sea fishing resources anywhere in the world. This is my 7th PENN reel and so far it has lived up to the company's reputation for producing reliable, tough and solid reels. Had it out for a three day Dry Tortugas trip and made out like a bandit. I highly recommend it and will likely buy others in this family.

11/30/2024 This is the spot if you fix Penn reels. What a awesome shop. Great website. Schematics of reels on hand with available parts list. Best shop around. Since you can't walk into Penn reels in Philly anymore, this is the next best thing. Thanks for your services!!!!! Even parts for vintage reels. Delivery is super quick as well.

10/23/2024 Easy to order parts and they shipped fast. Great seller! Hope to do business with them again! If you do not find what you are looking for do a Google search with Mystic Reel Parts in the search with your model. I have a Penn 285 and 9 and it took me to the exact page for both. Also have the reel schematics.

I luckily found MysticParts via a Google search. Their website is comprehensive and I was at a loss on what I needed. Fortunately the “contact us” option was user friendly. To my delight I got a personalized and VERY helpful response right away. She asked questions to fully understand my needs and then followed up with links to the right parts. We continued our email exchange regarding my second reel issue and, again, she was extremely knowledgeable and gave me both practical as well as professional solutions.
If you need reel parts and assistance with repair and maintenance, do not hesitate to work with them.
