For those who choose to pit their wits against the elusive and the enormous, you must have equipment that you can depend on. In carp fishing, that means a big pit-style reel that’s made from durable and lightweight materials with smooth, long casting, and powerful performance designed to give you the upper hand. Enter the PENN® Vantage… PENN® has gone above and beyond to create a dependable carp fishing companion with this reel, utilizing an impressively rigid yet improbably lightweight XRC carbon infused body, durable main gear made from premium metals for a long lasting life, and a Quick Drag system that allows for lightning fast switches between free spool and drag in the heat of battle. It’s the perfect package for the discerning carp angler, whether you choose the 7000 or 8000 size. One of the key benefits is how effortless this reel makes it to launch huge, long distance casts with precision accuracy. The innovative Slow Leveline technology means the reel can achieve up to 50 wraps of line per single spool oscillation, resulting in speedy retrieves and faultless line lay, allowing line to fly freely from the spool with the next cast. Playing fish will become a pleasure with the Vantage thanks to 7+1 sealed ball bearings and a sealed drag that keeps water and dirt out, giving you complete control over the fight. The reel is supplied with two separate line reducers, which can be attached to the spool to help you use less line on each reel. Designed for reliable and faultless performance trip after trip, the Vantage is made for those who put their trust in only the best for the carp fishing.
