Penn International 130VIS Big Game Giant Tuna Marlin 130 VIS Reel GOLD 2 SPEED

The Penn International 130VIS Big Game Reel is built for serious offshore anglers targeting the largest game fish, including giant tuna and marlin. This reel is a powerhouse designed to withstand the extreme pressure of big game fishing while delivering consistent and smooth performance. One of its key strengths is its ability to handle super-braid lines, which require reels to withstand high drag pressures. Unlike other reels that falter at high drag settings, the 130VIS offers a smooth, reliable drag curve throughout its range, ensuring that anglers can confidently battle large fish without fear of line breaks or pulled hooks.

The construction of the Penn International 130VIS is engineered for maximum durability and precision. Its full metal body, combined with one-piece machined aluminum frame and side-plates, ensures optimal gear alignment and rigidity. The reel’s Push-To-Turn preset knob and ratcheted lever design prevent drag creep, an essential feature when trolling for long hours in challenging ocean conditions. Penn’s Dura-Drag washers are designed to virtually eliminate hesitation, even under the most extreme drag settings, delivering smooth performance when it matters most. The reel is also braid-ready, built to handle the added strain of braided lines, making it a go-to choice for professional anglers.

This two-speed reel allows anglers to switch between a high-speed retrieve for when you need to quickly gain line and a low-speed setting for cranking power during intense battles. The high gear ratio of 2.2:1 retrieves 38 inches of line per crank, while the low gear ratio of 1.2:1 pulls in 21 inches of line, providing versatility depending on the situation. Whether you’re fighting a fast-running marlin or a stubborn, deep-diving tuna, the 130VIS delivers unmatched cranking power and control. Additionally, the reel is designed with six ball bearings, ensuring smooth operation in saltwater environments.

Made in the USA, the Penn International 130VIS is the pinnacle of big game fishing reels. With its rugged construction, advanced drag system, and versatile gear ratios, it provides all the tools necessary to land trophy-sized fish. Whether you’re trolling offshore or fighting fish from a chair, this reel offers unparalleled reliability and strength, making it an essential part of any serious angler’s arsenal. The Penn 130VIS truly showcases Penn’s commitment to engineering excellence in the world of big game fishing.
