Company Profile

Since 1933, Penn has been dedicated to the sport of fishing. When Penn founder Otto Henze first came to America, he wanted to do only one thing. To build the world’s best fishing tackle in America’s greatest city.
Today, Penn continues to carry on his legacy. Building quality tackle for every type of angler – from the wide-eyed youngster catching his first fish to the seasoned big-game expert. Penn offers the world’s most extensive line of reels, rods and downriggers. Over 280 products, including many exciting new models for 2000. Each one designed to help anglers enjoy every fishing moment to the fullest.
At Penn, we share your love of fishing. No other sport has the ability to bring together friends and family, to distance you from the trials of everyday life, or to make you feel as one with nature. Because we want our children and grandchildren to enjoy this great gift, Penn has taken a leadership role in the protection of our natural resources. We’re on the front lines of the conservation fight, whether it’s building an artificial reef or working with government agencies.
Penn is not a division of a sporting goods company or part of a conglomerate. We’re a family business based on the notion that if you build a quality product at a fair value, lasting success will follow. We’ve been making fishing tackle for 67 years, and we plan on being around a long time into the future.
