With its impressive diamond wrap, the International® V IGFA Rods feature the highest-quality components, like full AFTCO® Guides and detachable machined aluminum butts and gimbals. Available as an option on the 80# and 130# Class Rods is a Bent Butt, which lowers the reel for greater angler comfort, increasing the fulcrum lever to the anglers advantage. The Bent Butt version of the 80# and 130# Rods is perfect for anglers targeting world-class gamefish on heavy tackle. Standard on all of the International Rod Series is the progressive taper of Penn’s P450 Glass tubular blanks. Penn IGFA Rods feature a parabolic taper, ideal for fighting fish from the chair, applying maximum pressure to the fish with a mechanical advantage in favor of the angler. Between ideal tapers and quality craftsmanship, International® V IGFA Rods are the finest rods on the market.  These rods match up perfectly with Penn's International Series Big Game Offshore Reels.
