Penn Squall II Lever Drag Conventional Rod & Reel Combos
The PENN Squall II Lever Drag Conventional Rod & Reel Combos combine lightweight construction, dependable gearing, and powerful drag performance for demanding offshore fishing applications. Each combo features a Squall II Lever Drag reel built with a one-piece graphite frame and palm sideplate, providing a rigid, corrosion-resistant housing while keeping overall weight manageable. Stainless steel main and pinion gears deliver reliable power transmission when retrieving heavy tackle or battling hard-fighting gamefish, while five stainless steel bearings support smooth operation.

A PENN Slick Butt allows the rod to move smoothly in compatible rod holders, while an aluminum gimbal with a protective cover provides secure positioning and added leverage when fighting larger fish. Available in multiple rod and reel size combinations, the Squall II Series accommodates a variety of offshore fishing techniques and target species. Select configurations include the 40NLDHS high-speed model, which offers a practical setup for billfishing applications.
