Penn Vantage XT Longcast Bigpit Carp Reel

For those who want to measure their skills against the elusive and the huge, reliable gear is a must. In carp fishing, this means a great casting reel made from the strongest and lightest materials, with a smooth and powerful performance that allows you to maintain full control at all times. Meet the PENN® Vantage XT… PENN® has gone back to the drawing board with this superior reel, utilizing an impressively stiff but improbably light XRC carbon infused body and rotor, a durable CNC Gear machined from high-grade metals for long life, and a Quick Drag system that allows lightning-fast switching between freewheel and drag in the heat of battle. It’s the perfect package for the discerning carp angler, whether you choose the size 7000 or 8000. But the real showpiece of this powerhouse is its accurate and effortless long-range casting. PENN®’s innovative X-Slow Leveline technology means the reel can achieve more than 50 revolutions of line per single spool oscillation, resulting in near-perfect line alignment and extremely accurate and distant casts. There’s a reason PENN® calls it Rocket Spool Design. No less than 9+1 sealed ball bearings contribute to silky smooth operation when reeling in or playing a fish, while the sealed drag is virtually impervious to water or fire interference. Meanwhile, two included line reducers can be attached to the spool, so you never use more line than necessary. This is a reel that performs time after time – made for those who strive for perfection and improvement in their carp fishing.
