International V Series The
flagship of the Penn International Lever Drag family of reels, the International
V-Series two speed reels raise the gold standard for offshore anglers. The
International V reels offer the most advanced and reliable fish-fighting
performance in the world, with an ergonomically designed, contoured, one-piece
machined frame, and unbelievable cranking power and strength.
New Rotary Tuned INTERNATIONAL Drags
In an ongoing quest for performance improvements Penn
now rotary tunes its International‚ drag pressure plates to ensure a uniform surface finish for the drag system. A state of the art,
CNC lathe rotationally machines the drag surface of the stainless steel plates to extremely
accurate, exacting dimensions. Together with Penn’s proven HT-100‘ drag material these precision machined stainless steel plates offer consistent drag pressure surfaces. When you push the drag lever from just off free spool, up through strike and on to full drag setting, settings increase gradually and consistently. Billfish, tuna, sharks or kingfish, whatever the game Penn International reels are ready to play - and win!
High Strength Stainless Steel Gears and More
The world’s strongest reels need the world’s
strongest gears. That’s why Penn uses machine cut, tempered stainless steel gears, pinion gears and drag cams for the ultimate in strength and corrosion resistance. A doubledog design protects against internal damage from sudden strikes. Machined, gold anodised one piece frame Forged aluminium spool Shielded stainless steel ball bearings Stainless steel reel stand One piece rod clamp Harness lugs Rod braces on larger models Loud, durable easy to service clicker.
