If you're looking to break the most recent International Game Fish Association (ICSA) world record, then you'd better bring your Penn International reel with you. The Penn International series is known throughout the world as the leader in big game fishing reels. Its outstanding performance and unique features ranks it high above the rest of the reels in the market.
The Penn International series was first released into the market in 1966. In just a little over 10 years, it became the foremost fishing reel for big game fishermen. In the forty years it has been in production, the Penn International series of reels has played a central role in the victory of big game fishermen in over 200 world records.
If you do not already know the marvelous features of a Penn International reel, read on.
1. Full Metal Body. Each and every reel in the Penn International series is made of a one piece aluminum frame with side plates. This way, you won't have to worry about gear alignment since the side plates are integrated into the frame. These patented integrated side plates also makes it possible for you to get super high drags with fewer parts.
2. Push to Turn Preset Knob. With just a push of this knob, you can keep the drag in position.
3. Dura Drag Washers. This feature increases your functional drag range, letting you use thinner diameter lines.
4. Braid Ready. The versatile Penn International series is equipped to manage the extra strain that braided lines put on a reel. The same fishing reel you use for a 50-pound catch can be used to bring in a 200-lb beauty.
Aside from these common features, the reels in the Penn International series also have elements that distinguish them from other models. The Penn International VSX (Extreme) Two Speed Series has a ratcheted lever that deters drag creep after several hours of trolling. Managing this reel is effortless since it has 4 ball bearings to help you reel in your catch easily. This reel was designed to withstand extreme drag settings, yet at the same time keep a smooth curve. The Penn International V Two Speed Series has a Quick Shift 2-Speed Retrieval System so that you can quickly change into either high or low gear. The International Torque Star and Lever Drags have a feature called Versa Drag that lets you adjust the drag for different fish and sea conditions. These models combine the most resilient star drag with remarkable cranking power and a disengaging pinion into a single fishing reel. The International Torque was named by the American Sportfishing Association Saltwater Reel of the Year in 2006. A Penn International baitcast has an infinite anti-reverse roller bearing, stainless steel ball bearings, auto-engaging gears, and the HT-100 powered drag system. All features combine to give you sleek beauty, efficient function, and continuing durability.
All Penn reels are polished with a distinctive gleaming gold anodized finish. Every reel in the Penn International series was made with the best materials. Each piece was crafted meticulously and conscientiously examined before being assembled. Penn reels are made to catch the big fish so you can.
