INNOVATION
Integrated Side Plate, the new, unique, and patented design integrates 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. Crank up the drag and the machined side plate absorbs any load you can dish out, all without causing any binding to the main and pinion gear. Gears, pinions, and handle maintain perfect alignment no matter how heavy the load.
DESIGN
Traditional bridge designs do not lend themselves favorably to high-speed gearing as the increased load tends to distort and misalign the gear stud. Some companies ômanufacturedö slop into their gear studs, allowing the gear stud to semifloat and maintain some alignment, or is that misalignment, with the pinion as load and pressure increased. With the ISP design, high-speed gears and pinions are unaffected by force and load, thereby maintaining perfect alignment with the pinion regardless of the pressures exerted on the reel. The patented Integrated Side Plate design allows for an oversized, super high-speed gear for a unique combination of power and speed. Gear of a competitors Multi-Cam $700 Lever Drag Reel. When we went to measure the hardness, they were so soft we couldnÆt even measure it on the same scale
PENN ENGINEERING
As innovative and forward-thinking as the Integrated Side Plate Design concept and patent is, incorporating this design into a useful and marketable product took significant strides and development by the Penn Engineering Department. Penn Engineers are an integral component and driving force behind the success and viability of Penn products. When you have the fish of a lifetime hooked up, what gear would you feel more comfortable with? The Penn ISP Engineered design allows for a larger gear engagement with the pinion, ensuring unmatched cranking power.

When we went to measure the hardness, they were so soft we couldnt even measure it on the same scale as our gear. Gear of a competitors Star Drag Reel. Just as soft as the $700 reels gear and 40% smaller in thickness than our gear. This just doesnt cut it at Penn. Gear of the Penn Torque. Stainless Steel, and an incredible amount of engagement. Dont be fooled by claims of smoother gears. Ours feel smooth with great strength.
