The International® V-Series began on the drawing board of Penn's engineering department when challenged by the owners of the company to create and design the next generation of Lever Drag reels. After hitting the docks and tackle stores throughout the country to see what anglers wanted and expected from Penn's Big Game Reels, Penn engineers designed the most reliable and angler-friendly reel on the market. Penn continues to keep an ear to the ground to bring to market the finest performing reels found anywhere.

The International® V reels offer an ergonomically designed, contoured, one-piece machined frame, and unbelievable cranking power and strength. Distinctive pure gold color separates Penn from the impostors.
