Featuring a graphite frame with aluminum reinforcement, a forged aluminum spool with line capacity rings, and a powerful HT-100 star drag system rated up to 15lb, it delivers smooth, reliable performance. Its 5.1:1 gear ratio recovers 29 inches of line per crank, supported by marine-grade bronze and brass gears and a shielded 2-ball bearing system for long-lasting durability in harsh saltwater conditions. ## Description The PENN Rival was engineered to be an extremely versatile all-around reel at an affordable price. Features a lightweight graphite frame and sideplates with aluminum 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. Saltwater breeds a different kind of angler. It toughens you. It cures you like bacon. It leaves you thirsty for the next fight. Hard core saltwater anglers need equipment that is as tough as they are, and as reliable as the rising tide. At PENN, we've been testing the limits of saltwater fishing since 1932, which is why our reputation for durability runs so deep. PENN. LET THE BATTLE BEGIN. Review: Excellent piece - Excellent piece.

The pic shows a depth counter but mine didn't. How can I return it ?** A: Description says nothing about a line counter. Does mention some sort of rings to judge how much line is left on the reel. **Q: Is this rated for salt?** A: Yes all penn reels are rated for both salt and fresh water **Q: What is the best line** A: It's a matter of personal preference and what you are fishing for!! I use Trilene Big Game in 30 lb test Mono as a base line with approximately 7 ft floracarbon leader, it works got me!!! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent piece *by J***S on May 27, 2025* Excellent piece. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great budget reel *by B***E on September 7, 2023* I’ve caught a lot of 20 and 30 pound catfish on it not sure if it would hold up to much bigger I use it as a backup on my boat but it’s a great little reel ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good reel really like the power handle *by A***R on September 11, 2020* Really like the reel don't know for the longevity only had it for a short while.
