Hooker Electric Penn International 30VISW Autostop Reels

The Penn® International® series is widely regarded as one of the best big game conventional reels on the market. This is nothing new either, as the International Series has been regarded as the premier casting reel since the original series debuted more than 50 years ago. The release of the Penn® International® VI has certainly got anglers excited, as the latest International comes with some awesome improvements over the already outstanding V series, not to mention a few new features that are a first for the series.

Despite the strength of these reels, the Penn® International® VI series features a very lightweight design. This is credited to a retooling of the body by Penn so that the drag elements are repositioned from the left to the right side of the reel, allowing for a reduction in the metal used – and significant weight savings.

Penn® International® 30 VISW Standard Combo includes a level-wind and digital line counter. But what sets this reel apart from the rest is it’s Bluetooth connectivity. In place of the RF remote, you may control various functions of the reel through Bluetooth connectivity. The addition of Bluetooth connectivity means that now you can see your line counter, RPMs and control the speed from your iPhone or iPad. Function requires Hooker Electric’s “ReelTime” https://apps.apple.com/us/app/reeltime-hooker-electric/id901541588 app available at the Apple App Store. Desktop requires iTunes to download app.
