The Hooker Electric Penn® International® 50 VISW 2 Speed Autostop is the one that does it all! Based on the most popular platform, the Hooker Electric 50, it shares all the great features you’ve come to need and expect. Additionally, this reel includes a number of new features that keep getting great reviews. Let’s first start with the all popular auto stop feature; connect your rig and set the length, once the reel is on retrieval function, it will automatically stop at a predetermined line length.
It also includes a level-wind and digital line counter. But what sets this reel apart from the rest is its Bluetooth connectivity. In place of the RF remote, you may control various functions of the reel through Bluetooth connectivity. The addition of Bluetooth connectivity means that now you can see your line counter, RPMs and control the speed from your iPhone or iPad. The function requires Hooker Electric’s “ReelTime” app available at the Apple App Store. Desktop requires iTunes to download the app.
With the Hooker Electric Penn® International® 50 VISW Autostop, you will get it all: 2-speed, lever drag, low-profile design with extra line capacity, the power to break the will of the most dominant fish, and state-of-the-art features. Provided you’re up to the task, you can count on this reel to bring the pelagic species and big game to heel and maybe even set a record yourself.
