Over the decades, Penn has become a trusted name because, at Penn Fishing Tackle Company, quality, integrity, and strength are never compromised.

I have fished with more than one guy that will not go fishing unless he has a reel that says “Penn” on it. If you are looking for tournament grade performance, Penn delivers it in spades.

What is the right reel for the job?
Choosing the right reel for big game fishing can be confusing. Here is a quick guide to the Penn International Series to help you out:
• V Series - The Penn International V Series come in single speed and two speed versions. They are covered with lightweight, high-grade aluminum alloy with solid forgings to withstand the strain that braided lines put on the reels. The two speed version is an enhancement that provides a push button shifter for the higher drag capacity.
• VSX Series - This Penn International reel is built tough, after all, this is the extreme series. Its drag performance may be set high and still eliminate hesitation due to its Dura-Drag System. The comfortable handle not only makes it easy to shift but provides incredible cranking power to help land trophy fish.
• Baitcast (900) Series – Though better suited for smaller game fish like stripers and bluefish, these are tough little reels. They are light and compact which allows for a more comfortable experience and have the same qualities of the larger reels for a long lasting performance.
