Hooker’s electric fishing attachments are top-of-the-line when it comes to deep dropping fishing reels. Now they have teamed up with Penn to bring you the Penn Hooker electric reel. Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect with these new PENN-Hooker electric fishing reels, and how to choose the right option for your needs.
What’s New With PENN Hooker Electric Fishing Reels?
Hooker Electric Reels and PENN International Reels have both come a long way in the last few decades, and now they’re combining forces to bring even better high-quality electric attachments for all your deep dropping needs. Gone are the days where you have to buy an aftermarket electric reel motor to fit your regular reel!
Today, the Hooker Electric Reels are manufactured at the PENN manufacturing plant. This gives you integrated products that are specifically designed to work together.
Superior Strength and Speed
These reels have three main types that come in a variety of sizes: autostop, detachable, and standard. Once you decide which type of electric reel suits, your next decision is to settle on the retrieval speed and drag level that fits your requirements.
Autostop
The autostop reels are designed to automatically stop retrieving when they reach a certain line length. with the integrated line counter you can target those swordfish at those specific depths that you have sounded them at.
Autostop reels come in 4 sizes: 30, 50, 80, and 130, with full variable speed control. Their max drags are 30, 45, 65, and 100 pounds, respectively.
Detachable
As the name implies, detachable electric reels are extra attachments that can easily be added or removed from your reel. You can use the electric reel until you hook a fish, and then fight manually, or even swap it between different reels as necessary. this fits in perfectly with the rules of competitions like the Swordfish World Cup.
There are three sizes of detachable reels: 50, 70, and 80. The 50 and the 70 sizes both have a drag weight of 45lb, while the size 80 has a drag weight of 65lb.
Standard
And finally, the standard electric reels. These regular reels don’t feature the detachable, autostop features or line counter. Nevertheless, they are still fully capable of pulling up those monsters from the deep.
These standard reels have a retrieval speed of 500 feet per minute and come in three reel sizes: 50, 80, and 130. With these sizes, you either get the capability to handle 45, 65, or 100 pounds of drag.
Try Out Integrated Bluetooth Connections
The latest line of Hooker Electric Reels comes with great features that make your fishing experience even better. One of the best of these features is the new Bluetooth integration and app support.
With this feature, you can set up your electric reel with a phone or tablet to automatically control your speed. Now you can manage more than one reel with the touch of a button!
