International 50VW Lever Drag Conventional Reel

The International® V-Series Lever Drag reel raises the standard for offshore anglers.

The International® V reels offer the most advanced and reliable fish-fighting performance from Penn. With an ergonomically designed, contoured, one-piece machined frame built from lightweight yet strong aircraft grade aluminum, this reel may just outlast your fishing days. A fully machined, stainless steel gear system and optimal Dura-Drag™ system offers unbelievable cranking power and smooth starts with no hesitation. This advanced silver reel embodies the high-quality features and excellence anglers expect from Penn reels.

Dura-Drag™

The Dura-Drag™ system dramatically improves the performance of Penn International® Reels, extending the life-span of an International® drag. No more hesitations or jerky drags thanks to the smooth performance and more consistent drag pressure. In laboratory testing, the new Dura-Drag™ sustained its original drag settings after 100-hours of drag “burn-time”. This powerful system endures high levels of heat generated during big game battles as it is based on the same materials used in the transmission of racing cars. Finally, the Dura-Drag™ system contains Phenolic bonding agents to prevent premature material breakdown and block water from entering.

Push-to-Turn

Designed to prevent unintentional changes to a Lever-Drag’s drag setting, Penn’s Push-to-Turn requires the drag pre-set knob to be intentionally pushed while rotating the pre-set to gain more (clockwise) or less drag (counter-clockwise).
