The Apex Predator: Unrivaled Power for Grander Marlin and Giant Tuna
The PENN International® VI 130 VIS Conventional Reel is the pinnacle of big game fishing technology, designed and built to withstand the relentless pressures of targeting the largest fish in the ocean. Precision machined in the USA from a single billet of high-strength, lightweight, aircraft-grade aluminum, the 130 VIS is the ultimate reel for serious offshore anglers and tournament professionals who demand maximum line capacity, drag force, and mechanical reliability.
Finished in the classic, highly recognizable PENN Gold, this reel is not just a tool—it’s a statement of dedication to the sport. The “VIS” designation signifies the top-of-the-line International VI Series, renowned for incorporating the best materials and engineering for superior performance on the water.
| Feature | Description |
| Construction | Machined Aluminum Body & Sideplates: Crafted from aircraft-grade aluminum and heavily anodized for extreme corrosion resistance and lasting strength. The solid frame design ensures zero frame flex under maximal drag. |
| Gear System | Quick-Shift II™ 2-Speed System: Instantly shift between the high-speed retrieve (for clearing lines or fast jigging) and the low-speed power gear (for grinding out the toughest fish) with the push of a button. Features the largest fully machined stainless steel main and pinion gears in the industry. |
| Drag System | Sealed Dura-Drag™ System: This proprietary drag material is a PENN exclusive, utilizing a special phenolic bonding agent to eliminate premature breakdown and provide a super-smooth, virtually hesitation-free performance, even at its colossal maximum settings. |
| Anti-Reverse | Double-dog Ratchet Anti-Reverse: Provides a rock-solid, multi-stop anti-reverse system that eliminates handle back-play, ensuring instantaneous hooksets and unwavering gear integrity under extreme load. |
| Strike Customization | Versa-Strike Adjustable Strike Stop: Allows the angler to fine-tune the reel’s maximum strike drag setting to precise line-class specifications, offering unparalleled control and protecting light tackle systems. |
| Line Management | Line Capacity Rings: Clearly marked rings on the spool flange provide instant visibility of remaining line, indicating 1/3, 2/3, and full capacity. |
| Heritage | Made in the USA of domestic and imported components at PENN’s historic Philadelphia machining center. |
