Description

The PENN International VI series is designed and manufactured in the USA of domestic and imported components. Precision machined from high-strength, lightweight, aircraft grade aluminum in our Philadelphia machining center. Our experienced crew has been designing and producing durable, high-quality reels in this facility since 1932. The VI consists of a large stainless steel gear train for strength and speed, and a Dura-Drag system which results in a smoother start up and virtually eliminates hesitation, even under extreme drag settings.

Field Notes

This is a conventional offshore reel built for heavy-duty saltwater fishing. It is suited for trolling, bottom fishing, and fighting large fish where strong drag and a durable gear train matter most.

Pros

  • Precision-machined aluminum construction
  • Strong stainless steel gear train
  • Dura-Drag system for smooth startup and heavy drag pressure

Cons

  • High price point
  • Specialized for serious saltwater use rather than casual fishing

Internation VISX 30 Purchased this reel with a 50-80 Bent Butt Ally. Has been an excellent choice for trolling Wahoo. Evaluated this against others in this class. Had to be USA! The VISX is a perfect balance of capacity, strength, width/height, features, and quality (smooth/feel). I ultimately selected based on its ergonomics, balance, and profile when seated on rod.
