Penn's Squall II Levelwind Reels are meticulously designed for bottom fishing and wreck fishing. They've been revamped from the previous generation, offering a lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and powerful series. The HT-100 drag system delivers up to 33 lbs of drag, paired with a bronze main gear, stainless steel pinion, and a low 4.0:1-4.9:1 gear ratio, enabling these reels to handle substantial loads. Ideal for deep-water bottom fishing, these reels feature Penn's Fast Gear Access side plate for easy servicing, an additional shielded stainless steel ball bearing for a total of four, and a comfortable elongated rubberized football power knob. The clutch requires manual engagement, and the levelwind system operates even in freespool. The Squall II also boasts a loud clicker and a reduced reel foot size to fit most modern fishing rods. For those seeking an affordable conventional reel for bottom fishing, the Penn Squall II Levelwind Reel offers excellent value.
