Penn Fishing Rods and Reels Company History

Penn is a division of Pure Fishing, Inc. Founded in the 1930s, Penn Fishing Reels started out manufacturing quality fishing reels and expanded over the years. Their fishing reels gained success when author Zane Gray set a world record after reeling in a 1,040 pound marlin.

In 1948, the founder of Penn passed away. His wife opted to take control of the company, surprising many with her leadership and management skills. Because she'd landed a 613 pound tuna, her knowledge of fishing helped her guide the company to new levels.

By the early 1970s, Penn had close to 100 fishing reels available. This number would increase to 150 by the end of the decade. In 1979, a man landed a 1,080 Mako shark sparking the idea for Peter Benchley's novel Jaws.

Today, Penn produces fishing rods and reels, many of their offerings have been used to catch record breaking fish. They continue to be a leader among fishing pole manufacturers. With Penn, you get a quality rod and reel.
