Penn International 30VISX Reel

Penn International VIS-series reels offer the performance you need to land big, powerful fish.

Since 1932, Penn Reels have cranked in over 1,400 IGFA world records. The reason for this outstanding success is that every Penn Reel embodies a tradition of quality and innovation that has made Penn Reels the go-to choice of anglers around the world.

Tournament anglers know that along with the right technique, persistence and yes, a bit of luck, landing that record-setting fish requires a reel they can trust—which is why so many pros choose reels from Penn’s International VIS series—like the International 30VISX, 2-Speed, Lever Drag reel pictured here. The “X” denotes an open frame, with no crosspiece. This comes in handy for thumbing the spool while free-lining bait. Like all the reels in the VIS series, construction features a rugged frame machined from high-strength, lightweight, aircraft-grade aluminum, brawny stainless steel gear train and smooth Dura-Drag system. Provided you’re up to the task, you can count on this reel to bring the big brutes to heel and maybe even set a record yourself.
