The Penn® International® VI series is designed and manufactured in the USA with 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.
