Borrowing the "look" of the exceptional Penn International Reel, the revolutionary Torque Star Drag Reel brings innovative design together with top-notch craftsmanship to produce one of the strongest, most reliable star drag reels on the market. The Torque Star boasts a full metal body design with a one-piece, open-top frame of forged and machined aluminum alloy. The spool and side plates also are constructed of forged and machined aluminum alloy, and the Torque Star introduces Integrated Side Plate Design (ISP) for exceptional strength under high pressure. The patented ISP design incorporates the reel's bridge into a one-piece, fully machined aluminum side plate for superior strength and rigidity. Add an oversized, precision machined stainless steel main gear and an oversized, soft-grip Penn Power Handle and incredible cranking power is produced. Ideal for jigging (West-Coast Yo-Yoing), free-lining baits, and just about anything else you care to try, the Torque Star has a hardened, stainless steel disengaging pinion gear for unmatched free spool and is equipped with Versa-Drag--a multiple drag-stack arrangement to customize your drag to the needs of the situation. With five stainless steel ball bearings and an Infinite Anti-Reverse roller bearing with a double dog system backup, the Torque Star offers a performance you can count on. Additional features that distinguish the Torque Star from other drag reels include a stainless steel gear sleeve and gear stud, a stainless steel eccentric lever, and a stainless steel reel seat all bolstering the reel's exceptional strength, durability, and reliability. Backed by a 1-year warranty from Penn, the Torque Star Drag Reel is the choice of champions.

Special Design Features:

• Stainless Steel Gear Sleeve and Gear Stud: This design incorporates the use of stainless steel wherever there are strong forces at play for maximum durability and reliability. A typical star drag reel may use brass or bronze.
• International Style Double Dog Ratchet System: The reel incorporates the tried and true double dog ratchet system found in Penn's International Big Game reels. The double dogs serve as a back-up to a powerful one-way roller bearing.
• Stainless Steel Eccentric Lever: The eccentric lever has been made of stainless steel to provide superior strength when engaging the reel into gear under load with a fish taking line from the reel.
• Fully Disengaging Pinion Gear: The hardened stainless steel pinion gear disengages for superior casting ability.

Integrated Side Plate Reel Design:

Integrated Side Plate (ISP) integrates the reel's right side plate components into one rigid assembly. This innovation enables the reels to achieve super-high drag capabilities with fewer parts than a traditional reel. With ISP anglers can crank up the drag and the machined side plate absorbs any load you can dish out, without causing any binding to the main and pinion gear. With ISP the reel's gears, pinions, and handle maintain perfect alignment no matter how heavy the load. The patented ISP design allows for an oversized, super high-speed gear delivering a unique combination of power and speed.
