Penn Squall II Conventional Star Drag Reels
The PENN Squall II Conventional Star Drag Reels combine lightweight construction, smooth casting performance, and dependable cranking power for a variety of saltwater fishing applications. Built with a durable graphite frame and sideplates, these reels provide corrosion resistance while keeping overall weight low for comfortable handling during extended fishing sessions. PENN's Live Spindle design features a free-floating spool that reduces resistance during casting, allowing anglers to achieve greater distance and improved control. A high-strength marine-grade bronze alloy main gear and stainless steel pinion gear provide reliable power transmission, while the 6+1 shielded stainless steel bearing system supports smooth operation. Available in five sizes ranging from 12 to 40, the Squall II Star Drag Series is well suited for surfcasting, bottom fishing, and light offshore applications.
Equipped with PENN's Versa-Drag system and HT-100 carbon fiber washers, the Squall II delivers smooth, adjustable drag pressure to help control powerful fish during aggressive runs and prolonged fights. The Fast Gear Access Sideplate allows easier access to internal gearing for maintenance and servicing, making it convenient for anglers who regularly fish in demanding saltwater conditions. The specialized 15CS model features upgraded spool bearings and an adjustable magnetic braking system with a knob-style mag dial, providing additional casting control and helping reduce backlash. Combining efficient casting performance, durable gearing, and practical maintenance features, the PENN Squall II Star Drag Reels offer a versatile option for targeting striped bass, bluefish, and other inshore and nearshore gamefish.
