I have two of 'em, one the high speed version, 114H red colours and the standard speed black model.
 
I have just given the red model a half life refit, new drag washers, crome side plates and other bits after 23 years so this reel will probably out live me now...
 
It has fought marlin, kings, sharks, pukas and still going strong on a Penn International 15-24kg standup rod and done a heap of rockfishing and landbased livies, and balloon rigs off boats, stuck in a barb wire fence under a big asian kite with a 3kg kahawai as a bait, and trolling big lures, etc so a real general purpose outfit that suits many fish and methods.
 
Rugged and suited to the above with less gold and shiny bling to damage and get scratched so good strong gear without bells, whistles and bling... with a not expensive price tag for those starting out...this gear will always have a place.Clap

Awesome to hear it's still going strong for you :)

Thanks for that, I have just purchased one with the view of live baiting for Kingies, though I'm a bit uncertain how well the rod it's paired with will be for on land stuff.]]> Sat, 25 Aug 2012 14:05:18 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=81780&PID=1168724&title=penn-senator-114-6-0-reel#1168724 <![CDATA[Penn Senator 114 6/0 reel : I have the 9/0 version, it has...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=81780&PID=1168717&title=penn-senator-114-6-0-reel#1168717 Author: smudge

I have the 9/0 version, it has caught a marlin (yay) kingfish, sharks, gemfish and hapuka mostly. They are a strong well made reel, although old fashioned these days. Despite that they work rather well. A 6/0 has a smaller line capacity but is a similar reel. Be a good reel for livebaiting kings. loaded with braid it would also be ok foor deepwater stuff like bluenose and hapuka, as long as you're not going to encounter monster fish. Plenty of marlin have been caught on them too although you'd have to watch the line capacity.]]> Sat, 25 Aug 2012 13:51:04 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=81780&PID=1168717&title=penn-senator-114-6-0-reel#1168717 <![CDATA[Penn Senator 114 6/0 reel : Anyone have experience with one...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=81780&PID=1168704&title=penn-senator-114-6-0-reel#1168704 Author: Kitten

Anyone have experience with one of these? What are they like and what have you caught with it?]]> Sat, 25 Aug 2012 13:09:37 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=81780&PID=1168704&title=penn-senator-114-6-0-reel#1168704
