Penn Squall Lever Drag Reels
Penn designed the Squall Lever Drag reels with function and ergonomics at the top of the list. The lever drag does not protrude above the frame of the reel. This means there is no way for the line to loop over and hang up on the lever of the Squall Lever Drag.Lightweight graphite frame and sideplate...sForged and machined aluminum spoolHigh-strength marine grade bronze main and pinion gearDura-Drag washers virtually eliminate hesitation even underextreme drag settingsSwitchblade harness lugs (50 & 60 sizes only)Ratcheted drag lever prevents drag creep caused by hours of trolling and vibrationsLine Capacity Rings5+1 Shielded stainless steel bearing systemInstant anti-reverse bearing with silent back up ratchet

I bought this reel after going back and forth with TLD 25s. Has more drag and line capacity plus a little cheaper. Lets hope Penn's name holds up as good as Shimano's does.
Great reel

I've used this reel for bunker chunking for striped bass and blues. Great quality but the drag could be better. Also use it to troll mojo and bunker spoons.
Works great !!!!

I use this reel to bottom fish and it is the greatest bottom fishing reel ever. It takes large fish like a champ.

Just returned from a Fishing trip out of Pt. Aransas ,Texas.
Caught the limit of Four Red Snapper in the State Waters .
We have a 12 Month Season.
The four Snappers weighed 44 pounds..these are big ,big Snappers.
Reel pulled these big fish up from 150 feet.+The Lever Drag is so smooth..
You control the fish and not the other way around.
Set the drag…

This reel is very trustworthy; it helped me catch my first bluefin tuna exceeding 80lbs with no problem. This reel is half the price of other brand reels on the market.
Top notch

I'm looking at this for a reel to use for puget sound halibut and possibly ling cod. Sizwwise, would 40 work, or do I need to move up to a 50? Thank you

50 will give you edge over the 40 in line capacity, I would suggest that.

The Penn SQL30LD Squall would be a good option for a moderately priced reel for using trolley rigs. As far as rods go, I would take a look at the Shimano TLC70MHBBL Tallus Blue Water Conventional Rod, which is priced at $159.99 and would be a great option

where is this reel made ? Ever since Penn moved their manufacturing to China, the product has proven to be inferior.
