PENN International VIS 2 Speed Reel review and price compare 2024

From the manufacturer

Emerge triumphant during your next saltwater battle with the Penn International 130VIS Conventional Fishing Reel. An ideal choice for technical anglers, this baitcast reel offers the smoothness, power, and adjustability needed to subdue even the fiercest gamefish. It comes equipped with the Versa-Strike adjustable strike stop that allows you to customize the reel’s strike position according to your preferences. Built for smoothness, the reel ensures years of flawless operation with its four shielded ball bearings and stainless-steel gears that are drilled out for weight reduction. The Quick-Shift II two-speed system allows you to instantly toggle between high retrieval and low cranking speeds, so you can easily adapt during the fight, while the double-dog ratchet anti-reverse system keeps handle backplay to a minimum. Unlike other heavy-duty drag systems that frequently pop lines and pull hooks, the Penn International offers exceptional drag power without sacrificing reliability. The sealed Dura-Drag system uses a special phenolic bonding agent to prevent premature breakdown of the carbon fiber material, minimizing erratic pulls and jerks to ensure silky-smooth drag--even during the most grueling battles. Crafted from machined and anodized aluminum, this baitcast reel offers long-lasting durability.
