Penn International VSX models are constructed to achieve the extreme drag ranges expected by anglers fishing with super-braided line. But because of Penn's engineering, the drag stays smooth throughout the entire range of settings. Machine-cut, stainless steel components stand up to the rigors of hard-fighting fish. Gold anodized one-piece frame resists corrosion in all types of water conditions. The forged, machined spool and sideplates have tight tolerances. The four aircraft-grade shielded ball bearings deliver silky smooth performance on every turn of the crank. The stainless steel reel stand can easily handle the torque of fighting big fish. Loud, durable clicker alerts you to strikes.
