When walleye, salmon, lake trout, or striped bass settle into a productive depth, the Penn 209LC Line Counter Reel helps anglers return their trolling spread to the strike zone with consistency. Its line counter measures deployed line in feet, making it easier to repeat successful presentations with crankbaits, spoons, plugs, and other trolling lures in freshwater and saltwater. Classic Penn styling surrounds a durable chromed steel frame, lightweight composite side plates, a brass main gear, and a precision-machined stainless steel pinion for dependable performance across long days on the water. The stainless steel levelwind guide distributes line evenly across the spool, while the counter-balanced handle and oversized knob provide comfortable cranking control when retrieving gear or fighting fish. The Penn 209LC combines proven conventional reel construction with practical depth-management features commonly associated with higher-priced trolling reels.
