Engineered for the ultimate smoothness and dependability, Captiva reels are some of the finest Penn reels ever introduced for their price!

  • 11-bearing drive
  • Balanced rotor to eliminate wobble
  • One-way roller bearing for infinite anti-reverse

    The new Penn Captiva series of Spinning and Live Liner reels contains features and components found on reels often twice the price. With ball bearings engineered into every conceivable part, anglers will be amazed at its smoothness and performance. A balanced rotor eliminates wobble making it an extremely comfortable reel to fish. A one way roller bearing for infinite anti-reverse. And since we are talking about ball bearings - the Captiva Spinning reels come with 11 ball-bearings ( the Live Liners have 10) for solid hook sets.

    have a penn captiva, thought this was the reel. after using the reel twice, heard a clunk. took it to a local shop and found out that there was no grease in the reel, and the gears were busted. I will stay with shakespeare for know on.
