When Bigger Really Is Better
Serious offshore anglers across the UAE, GCC, and Indian coasts know that big game fishing demands specialized fishing gear. From powerful yellowfin tuna to hard-charging giant trevally (GT), the key to success is a reel that can hold massive amounts of heavy line while delivering uncompromising drag performance.
Enter the PENN International VISW 2-Speed Wide Conventional Reel—a legend among deep-lure enthusiasts who target the ocean’s toughest predators.
1. The Wide-Spool Advantage
Deep-lure and trolling techniques often require hundreds of yards of heavy braid or mono. The VISW’s extra-wide spool gives you:
-
Greater Line Capacity: Essential when fish dive deep or run far.
-
Improved Heat Dissipation: Reduces friction and drag fade during long battles.
-
Balanced Retrieval: Keeps the line lay smooth even under heavy drag pressures.
When a 100-kg tuna makes a blistering run, you’ll appreciate every extra meter of line.
2. Built for Rugged Saltwater Battles
Crafted from machined and anodized aluminum, the VISW shrugs off corrosion from harsh Gulf saltwater.
-
Stainless-steel main and pinion gears provide strength and precision.
-
Sealed Dura-Drag system maintains silky drag pressure while blocking salt intrusion.
-
Push-button 2-speed shifting lets you drop from high-speed retrieval to low-gear cranking instantly—perfect for exhausting a deep-diving marlin or GT.
This fishing reel is a workhorse designed to last decades with proper care.
3. Perfect Pairing for Deep-Lure Techniques
The VISW shines for:
-
High-speed jigging over offshore wrecks and reefs.
-
Deep-drop bait fishing for grouper and amberjack.
-
Heavy trolling when chasing marlin or sailfish across open Gulf waters.
Match it with a PENN International V or Carnage rod for a balanced, indestructible combo.
4. Real-World Performance
Captains from Dubai to Oman praise the VISW for its ability to:
-
Maintain 30–40 lbs of drag pressure without overheating.
-
Retrieve heavy jigs from 100-meter depths with minimal fatigue.
-
Land multiple trophy fish in a single day without mechanical issues.
Whether you’re chartering from Fujairah or exploring the Musandam, this reel keeps pace with the region’s most demanding fisheries.
5. Maintenance Tips for Long Life
Even a reel this tough deserves care:
-
Rinse with fresh water after every trip, avoiding high-pressure spray.
-
Lightly oil moving parts with a salt-resistant lubricant.
-
Service annually or after any heavy tournament season.
