Machined from stainless steel in Penn’s Philadelphia manufacturing centre and drilled out for weight reduction, the gears in the Penn International 16VISXS offer the perfect combination of strength and speed.
Penn redefines the big game lever drag market with their all new Penn International VI Series. This next (6th) generation in big game tackle from Penn Fishing Reels is built on the same tried and true legacy that the fishing world has loved and depended on for many years. The Penn International Series is now better than ever!
The Penn International VI Series Fishing Reels have a solid list of quality new features
Made in the USA to be the toughest with stainless steel gear train machined in Penn’s Original Philadelphia Manufacturing Facility. The gearing offers the perfect combination of strength, durability, power (gear ratio – speed/torque) and weight (drilled out to cut weight). Penn’s focused on precise machining for the ultimate in smooth no play/slop operation. Pick up the reel and you’ll feel its super solid build.
The Penn International 16VISXS’s new ultra-durable sealed Dura-Drag drag system provides increased drag pressure, smoother use and ensures dependable long lasting service. With regards to the drag operation, a great stand out feature is Penn’s exclusive Versa-Strike. It’s an all new adjustable strike stop. This awesome industry first feature allows customizing of the reel’s strike position to match angling preferences. This is changing the game!
Another major improvement is the new handle arm and grip which were resigned. The new handle now has a great ergonomic knob for comfortable fish fighting grip. The handle’s two speed shift (on 2-Speed Models) was also improved making shifting gears easy and quick.
