Penn International VI Single Speed Reels The Penn International VI Single Speed Reels have quickly become the preferred choice of charter boat captains worldwide because of their ease of use and their dependability. Throw the lever into the strike position, set the hook, and crank like mad! Even the most novice of anglers and charters can handle that task of landing a trophy catch. Contrary to conventional wisdom, Penn International VI Single Speed Reels are not slower than their two-speed counterparts, and more often than not, feature a gear ratio identical to the higher gear ratio of the two-speed models. Season after season anglers leave the dock in search of large game fish such as marlin, tuna, and sharks. And season after season Penn International VI Single Speed Reels will be spooled up and expected to perform; and they will! These reels are constructed to the same standards as their two-speed siblings, just without the 2nd lower gear, and are just as capable. Why pay for a 2nd set of gearing if you never use it? The PENN International VI series is designed and manufactured in the USA of domestic and imported components. Precision machined from high-strength, lightweight, aircraft grade aluminum in our Philadelphia machining center. Our experienced crew has been designing and producing durable, high-quality reels in this facility since 1932. The VI consists of a large stainless steel gear train for strength and speed, and a Dura-Drag system which results in a smoother start up and virtually eliminates hesitation, even under extreme drag settings.
