Title: PENN International 50VSW prototype

Thought you guys would be interested in seeing this, they are extremely rare and one just popped in for service.

One of the first 60 50vsw reels we ever made, the engraving on the frame told me immediately it was not a production reel.  In most cases we keep the reels after field-testing but in some cases we let the Angler keep it.  This reel was made 16 years ago.
