PENN Vantage Xt 8000 Longcast

Anyone who takes on difficult-to-catch and big-ticket fishing needs equipment they can rely on. In carp fishing, that means a large pit-style reel made from the strongest and lightest materials, providing smooth and powerful performance to keep you in control at all times. Here comes the PENN Vantage XT...

PENN has gone back to the drawing board with this superior reel, featuring an impressively strong yet incredibly lightweight XRC carbon body and rotor, a durable CNC machined gearbox made from high quality metals for long life and a quick drag system , which enables lightning-fast changes between freewheel spool and brake in the heat of the fight. It's the perfect package for the discerning carp angler, whether you choose the 7000 or 8000 size.

The real highlight of this workhorse is the precise and effortless throwing over long distances. Thanks to PENN's innovative X-Slow Leveline technology, the reel achieves more than 50 line wraps per spool revolution, resulting in almost perfect line lay and extremely precise and long casts. It is not for nothing that PENN calls this technical innovation the rocket spool design. No less than 9+1 sealed ball bearings contribute to the silky smooth running when retrieving or fighting a fish, while the sealed brake is virtually insensitive to water and dirt.

Two included line reducers can be attached to the spool so you never use more line than you need.

This reel was designed to impress time and time again - for anyone who strives for perfection and improvement in carp fishing.
