REEL DISCONTINUED BY PENN 2021
The PENN International VSX series is designed for heavy drags and braided lines. Precision machined from high-strength, lightweight, aircraft grade aluminum in their Philadelphia machining center. Penn's experienced crew has been designing and producing durable, high-quality reels in this facility since 1932. The fully machined 2 SPEED stainless steel gear train is the biggest in the business. The Dura-Drag system results in a smoother start up and virtually eliminates hesitation, even under extreme drag settings.
Penn International VSX models are constructed to achieve the extreme drag ranges expected by anglers fishing with super-braids. Unlike other products that advertise their high-potential drag settings but fail to inform you that these drag settings result in drag curves that are anything but angler friendly, and have a high potential to pop lines, pull hooks, and result in lost fish, Penn VSX models have been engineered to achieve these extreme drag settings while maintaining an appropriate progression and smooth drag curve throughout the entire range of the drag-lever. Simply put, this is Penn Engineering at its finest.
Extreme: To some, the word conjures images of renegade “Gen-Xerʼs” engaged in sports such as rock climbing or skydiving. To others, “Extreme” is a way of thinking and behaving. At Penn, “Extreme” simply equates to equipment that is asked to perform far beyond reasonable expectations. “Extreme” is the Penn International X-reels.
