Penn International VIS 2-Speed Lever Drag Reels have been redesigned for 2018. For years anglers have depended on Penn International reels when trolling for monster pelagics and the new VIS version is a leap forward. Constructed of heavy-duty aluminum, Penn has reduced the weight of the reels without sacrificing strength and line capacity. They have also increased the drag using their powerful Dura-Drag system and the free spool is much improved. The Penn International VIS features stainless steel main and pinion gears, a silent double-dog ratchet anti-reverse and stainless steel ball bearings. When you're trolling or chunking for big fish in saltwater, anglers need a reel that is reliable and won't fail. Over the years Penn Internationals have proven to be that reel. The update to the VIS makes these reels better, stronger and will give you an enhanced fishing experience.
