Description

Since Otto Henze founded the PENN Fishing Tackle Company in 1932, we ve been at the forefront of modern reel design and production. We pride ourselves on the fact that millions of experienced anglers around the world put their faith in PENN products every day. That s what inspires us to continue our founder s dream of manufacturing the world s highest quality fishing tackle.Long considered the gold standard of big game fishing reels, Gold Label International V-Series Lever Drag Reels offer some of the most advanced and reliable fish-fighting performances worldwide. V-Series Reels feature full metal bodies with ergonomically designed and contoured one-piece, aluminum machined frames and oversized power handles for exceptional cranking power and strength. Capable of landing any fish in the deep, the V-Series Reels have been designed and constructed with real-life input and feedback from countless anglers, captains, and professional mates worldwide--leading to reels that feature state-of-the-art technologies for deep water fishing, and making them the some of the most reliable and angler-friendly reels on the market.

Key performance features on the Gold Label International V-Series 70VS Reel include a ratcheted lever drag system that eliminates "drag creep" caused by hours of trolling and diesel engine vibration. The ratcheted lever ensures that the amount of drag being used when a fish is hooked is consistent with the amount that you have preset. In addition, the reel is equipped with Dura-Drag, one of the most reliable and durable drags available that make snapped lines, jerky drags, pulled hooks, and hesitations a distant memory. The 2-speed reel features an easy to use Quick Shift system that engages automatically with a deliberate bump of the shift button for low-speed or a spin of the shift knob for high-speed and can be performed without letting go of the handle. A favorite among skippers, the Push-to-Turn preset drag system prevents "unknowing anglers" from accidentally adjusting the drag when backs are turned. Additional features that distinguish the 70VS from other reels in its size class include four stainless steel ball bearings, a loud ratchet alarm, and Braid Ready design that can handle the additional strain that braided lines can put on a reel.

The 70VS Reel has a mono capacity of 600 yards/80 pounds, a braid capacity of 1300 yards/150 pounds, and a topshot capacity of 50 yards/130 pounds. The reel s gear ratio is 3.1:1 on high and 1.4:1 on low and the line retrieve is 39 inches per crank on high and 18 inches per crank on low. Weighing in a 100 ounces, the 70VS is one of the brawniest in the lineup of Gold Label International V-Series reels from Penn. Backed by a 1-year warranty, the 70VS is a reel that is worth its weight in gold, delivering reliability, durability, and performance you can count on for years of trolling.
