Prion REEL SPECS
REEL INFO: Prion Reel Series - Like a precision timepiece, Penn Prion reels are a thing of beauty inside and out. Each Prion features a strong, lightweight graphite housing and rotor. Additional strength and protection come from a special stainless steel rear housing cover, coated with gleaming gold titanium nitride. Along with superior external construction, these reels feature internal components that mesh flawlessly to create a reel that soars high above the rest.
