Penn International 50VISWS – TackleDirect Platinum Hook Standup Combo

TackleDirect has made the process of pairing top reels with their brand new range of Platinum hook rods foolproof. This combo ensures outstanding performance and is the result of rigorous testing by accomplished sport fishermen.

The TDPS645080WTSIN Platinum Hook Standup Tuna rod is constructed with a durable E-glass blank, heavy-duty Fuji SIN guides, and a Winthrop roller tip. It is perfect for use with braid, monofilament, or braid backing with a mono topshot.

This rod, paired with a 50-pound-test reel, is ideal for heaviest stand-up trolling and chunking applications when fishing for giant tunas and other pelagic fish. It can also serve as a pitch rod for blue marlin and a high-speed trolling rod for wahoo.

The PENN International VI series is designed and developed in the USA, using both domestic and foreign components. It is built with precise machining of high-strength, lightweight, aircraft-grade aluminum at PENN's Philadelphia facility.

Since 1932, PENN has been known for their skilled workforce and high-quality reels. The completely machined gear train made of stainless steel is the largest in the industry. The Dura-Drag system ensures smooth start-ups and nearly eliminates hesitation, even at severe drag settings.
