While Penn may be better known for its rods and reels, the company already sells a leading brand of fishing line in foreign markets. Now, American anglers will also benefit from the Penn difference with three grades of monofilament line/leader and fluorocarbon leader. Penn's Premium line touts high tensile strength, abrasion resistance and knot strength for all-purpose fishing. It comes in clear, pink and green and in strengths from 10- to 100-pound test; leader comes in wrist spools of 100 yards and in 30- through 300-pound test. Professional line/leader is aimed at big-game and finesse anglers who need suppleness and controlled stretch. Professional is available in clear, dark green, offshore blue, pink and fluorescent yellow in 8- through 130-pound test; leader comes in 30- through 200-pound test. Penn's IGFA line employs the tightest tolerances to produce guaranteed breaking strengths. IGFA line comes in fluorescent yellow and offshore blue and in line classes from 12- through 130-pound test. Fluorocarbon leader comes in 25-yard wrist spools from 10- through 100-pound test and in 25-yard vinyl/mesh bags from 150- through 300-pound test. Quarter-pound spools of line range from about $6 to $8, 1-pound spools range from $30 to $60, and fluorocarbon spools cost $8 to $100. Contact Penn at 215-229-9415 or visit www.pennreels.com.
