Long considered the gold standard of big game fishing reels, Gold Label International V-Series Lever Drag Reels offer some of the most advanced and reliable fish-fighting performances worldwide. V-Series Reels feature full metal bodies with ergonomically designed and contoured one-piece, aluminum machined frames and oversized power handles for exceptional cranking power and strength. Capable of landing any fish in the deep, the V-Series Reels have been designed and constructed with real-life input and feedback from countless anglers, captains, and professional mates worldwide--leading to reels that feature state-of-the-art technologies for deep water fishing, and making them the some of the most reliable and angler-friendly reels on the market.

Key performance features on the Gold Label International V-Series 70VS Reel include a ratcheted lever drag system that eliminates "drag creep" caused by hours of trolling and diesel engine vibration.

The 2-speed reel features an easy to use Quick Shift system that engages automatically with a deliberate bump of the shift button for low-speed or a spin of the shift knob for high-speed and can be performed without letting go of the handle. A favorite among skippers, the Push-to-Turn preset drag system prevents "unknowing anglers" from accidentally adjusting the drag when backs are turned. Additional features that distinguish the 70VS from other reels in its size class include four stainless steel ball bearings, a loud ratchet alarm, and Braid Ready design that can handle the additional strain that braided lines can put on a reel.

The 70VS Reel has a mono capacity of 600 yards/80 pounds, a braid capacity of 1300 yards/150 pounds, and a topshot capacity of 50 yards/130 pounds. The reel's gear ratio is 3.1:1 on high and 1.4:1 on low and the line retrieve is 39 inches per crank on high and 18 inches per crank on low.
