Product reviews of PENN Warfare Star Drag Multiplier Fishing Reel for Saltwater Boat or Kayak Fishing

Nikonographer : Entry level conventional reel for jigging

I decided to go for this particular reel because of its price point and based on the recommendations of friends who are experienced anglers. I just bought it to determine if vertical jigging is something I'd be interested in and I'm happy with the results so far. My only gripe is that the product arrived with a busted clicker - couldn't be turned off so it affected the free spooling. But since it was an easy fix, I just took care of it so I won't need to deal with the returns and shipping. Other than that, and with my little knowledge and experience in overhead reels, I'd say this is alright for starters.

Amazon Customer : Very nice

Nice reel and casting was very smooth we will see if it holds up on a big fish

Russ : It's kinda sad

Decent reel at a decent price, I guess. I bought a Warfare and a Squall at the same time from Cabela's 2 years ago. I've put a ton of hours on both so feel like I can give an informed review at this time. I fish mainly for big Blues and Flatheads with them and having a boat I don't have to cast very far with them. They've both held up well with a repair being made to strengthen the reel seat last year. I've fought and landed 50+ pound fish with them and they've performed OK. Personally, I dislike a level wind so bought a Daiwa Seagate and if you can afford just a little bit more money you'll be better served by the Seagate. I just bought me 2nd and 3rd Seagate and have relegated the two Penns to 2nd string. My old Senators I am still using on my first string of 6 rods that I typically have baited up and fishing together so was a little disappointed in Penn quality today. My 4/0 Senators, Jigmaster 500 and Squidder still perform flawlessly with not so regular maintenance. Sad.

Biggun : Received a bad reel

I have 2 other Warfare reels and several other Penn reels that are great however this particular one seemed to be missing parts and the handle was very wobbly. I have handled this same reel in stores and it seemed fine. I love Penn products and believe I received a lemon or one that was returned after parts were removed. I may re purchase at later date and try another one.

mrocc70 : Welcome to China

Reel arrived with the reel foot detached from the reel. Returned.

very cool. : Weak reel seat

I got two of these reels. Interesting enough, it has very weak reel seat. It came out of reel body so easily due to small heads of holding rivets. No recommend for harsh fishing

Agustin Flores : Four Stars

Used it one time so far so good. No problems

jmnixonexp : Great value!

As I don't spend nearly the time I'd like to on the river, I wanted reels Tha could be ready when I needed them. Can always rely on my Penns! Quality reel at a great price. Hard to beat a squall if you can find them and afford them but these have not let me down. Have 2 20n's for Potomac rockfish

jason : Works well smooth retrieve still waiting to hook something big ...

Works well smooth retrieve still waiting to hook something big caught a couple of 4ft Sharks had no problems reeling them in with ease

Biggun : Received a bad reel
