Penn Gold Label Series International V Two Speed Reel

Ensure victory over the biggest, toughest saltwater gamefish with the Penn International V VS 2-Speed Fishing Reel. Whether drifting, chunking, sharking, or trolling, this versatile saltwater fishing reel delivers the power and smooth operation you need to subdue wahoo, billfish, and other hard-pulling species. Precisely machined from stainless steel bar stock, the reel's 100 percent stainless steel gear train helps maximize torque and cranking power. The reel's body and sideplates are constructed from solid aluminum to deliver exceptional strength and rigidity in the heat of battle, while its stainless steel reel stand ensures a firm connection between rod and reel. Built to maintain flawless drag even after hours of trolling, the International V VS uses a ratcheted drag lever to prevent the drag creep that lesser reels experience when exposed to intense vibrations. The Push-To-Turn preset knob eliminates accidental drag changes, while the Dura-Drag washers minimize erratic pulls and jerks to ensure silky-smooth drag--even during the most grueling battles. The Quick Shift two-speed system allows you to instantly toggle between the high retrieval speed and low cranking speed, so you can easily adapt to the movements of your prey. Suitable for use with braid, this reel allows anglers to use their favorite fishing line without any special accommodations.

Long considered the gold standard of big game fishing reels, Gold Label International V-Series Lever Drag Reels offer some of the most advanced and reliable fish-fighting performances worldwide. V-Series Reels feature full metal bodies with ergonomically designed and contoured one-piece, aluminum machined frames and oversized power handles for exceptional cranking power and strength. Capable of landing any fish in the deep, the V-Series Reels have been designed and constructed with real-life input and feedback from countless anglers, captains, and professional mates worldwide--leading to reels that feature state-of-the-art technologies for deep water fishing, and making them the some of the most reliable and angler-friendly reels on the market.

Key performance features on the Gold Label International V-Series VSW Reels include the ratcheted lever drag system that eliminates 'drag creep' caused by hours of trolling and diesel engine vibration. The ratcheted lever ensures that the amount of drag being used when a fish is hooked is consistent with the amount that you have preset. In addition, the reels are equipped with Dura-Drag, one of the most reliable and durable drags available that make snapped lines, jerky drags, pulled hooks, and hesitations a distant memory. The 2-speed reels feature an easy to use Quick Shift system that engages automatically with a deliberate bump of the shift button for low-speed or a spin of the shift knob for high-speed and can be performed without letting go of the handle. A favorite among skippers, the Push-to-Turn preset drag system prevents 'unknowing anglers' from accidentally adjusting the drag when backs are turned. Additional features that distinguish the VSW reels from the competition include four stainless steel ball bearings, a loud ratchet alarm, and a Braid Ready design that can handle the additional strain that braided lines can put on a reel.

Ranging from the brawny 80VSW Model with a 950-yard, 80-pound mono capacity to the 50 VSW with an 850-yard, 50-pound mono capacity to the lighter tackle 30VSW with a 900-yard, 30-pound mono capacity, the Gold Label International V-Series will deliver the power you need to reel them in. Backed by a 1-year warranty, the V-Series reels are worth their weight in gold, delivering reliability, durability, and performance you can count on for years of trolling.

Dura-Drag:

Setting a new standard for performance, reliability, and durability, Dura-Drag is designed to endure frequent and heavy use without breaking down, to withstand the high levels of heat generated during big game battles, and to provide smoother start-ups and more consistent drag pressures. Dura-Drag contains a Phenolic bonding agent to prevent breakdown of the material and to provide a barrier to water damage. The Dura Drag is then treated with a special formula that improves drag performance, prevents water damage, and provides the drag with a silky, smooth feel from the initial start-up through the entire drag run. Dura-Drag delivers smoother start-ups and more consistent drag pressures thanks to the lack of an initial drag-pressure surge common in other drag materials. The Dura-Drag performance translates into fewer pulled hooks, broken lines, hesitations, and jerky drags, and eliminates the need for anglers to change their International drag washers after long fights with big game fish.

Quick Shift:

Penn's Quick Shift is one of the easiest and most angler-friendly two-speed features on the market. Quick Shift engages automatically with a deliberate bump of the shift button for low-speed or a spin of the shift knob for high-speed and can be performed without letting go of the handle.
