Penn International VISW Trolling Reel 80 3.1:1 / 1.5:1 3203g 29.4kg

Penn International VISW 80 — Built for Big-Game Power

The Penn International VI 80 VISW is a USA-made lever-drag conventional reel engineered for serious offshore trolling and battling the ocean's largest predators.

Precision-Machined USA Construction

Crafted in Penn's Philadelphia facility from aircraft-grade aluminum since 1932, the International VI 80 features a machined and anodized body with stainless steel main and pinion gears. The Quick-Shift II™ 2-speed system (3.1:1 / 1.5:1) delivers 101.6 cm or 48.3 cm retrieve per crank, letting you switch between high-speed retrieval and low-gear cranking power mid-fight.

Dura-Drag™ System for Extreme Conditions

The Dura-Drag™ delivers smooth, consistent pressure up to 29.4 kg of max drag without hesitation, even under the most extreme settings. Combined with the Versa-Strike adjustable strike stop and double-dog ratchet anti-reverse, you gain precise control during long battles with marlin, tuna, and other big-game species.
