my Penn Senators have slowly disappeared over the years, replaced by Shimano TLDs(they get 5 stars from me for trolling and live-lining big baits).
I still have a high speed 6/0 and 4/0. The 6/0 is on a planer/down rod for trolling and the 4/0 is on a shelf.(was on a kite rod in Florida for years).

For jigging I would want a high speed (red body). But I just bought a Penn Squall 30 star drag. Full anti-reverse bearing, graphite body...hoping it holds up for 20 years. Replaces a very expensive Shimano Torium 30 that corroded to $hi+ and squeals like a pig.

I don't think I'd invest time in the Senators anymore.
