The PENN International VISW 2-Speed Wide Conventional Reel is built for anglers pursuing the world's toughest offshore game fish. Precision-machined and assembled in the USA from domestic and imported components, the International VISW combines legendary PENN craftsmanship with heavy-duty engineering to deliver exceptional strength, smooth drag performance, and long-lasting reliability.

Constructed from machined and anodized aircraft-grade aluminum, the VISW features oversized stainless steel main and pinion gears that provide smooth power and exceptional durability under heavy loads. The proven Quick-Shift II™ 2-Speed System allows anglers to instantly shift between high-speed line retrieval and powerful low-gear cranking, while the Dura-Drag™ system delivers smooth, consistent drag pressure with virtually no startup hesitation—even at extreme drag settings.

Additional features such as the Versa-Strike Adjustable Strike Stop, Double-Dog Ratchet Anti-Reverse, and Line Capacity Rings make the VISW a trusted choice for trolling, deep dropping, and targeting trophy offshore species.

Designed for serious offshore anglers, the PENN International VISW continues a legacy of American-made performance that has been trusted for generations.
