Penn Squall Lever Drag 2 Speed Trolling Reel

This reel is an absolute beast and it should be able to manage any big uk species. The reel holds masses of line giving you the option of letting those big fish run for that little bit longer if needed. The drag force once set correctly, makes you have full confidence on the lever drag. The lever drag works incredibly well and you can go from minimal drag to max when needed in just a simple push. The 2 speed works great too, giving you the ability to switch between high and low retrieval ratio. A well spooled reel on high will gain ground on any fish after those big runs. The slower speed works well when you want to keep progress with the stubborn monsters. The rachet works good with a decent click. With the stainless guts of the international range, for the price well worth it.

Great product

I bought 2 of these and can't say enough about them. I use them strictly for halibut in southeast Alaska. I have them filled with 80lb Sufix 832 Braid over Sufix Superior 80lb mono backing. Love the loud clicker for the halibut on circle hooks. Set the drag light and they take the bait/hook and swim away... you can hear the clicker from anywhere in the boat, simply load up the lever drag and set the hook. The lever drag is knew to me and I love it... I'll never own another star drag... EVER. The two speed is a nice feature. When into a solid fish (largest I have handled on these reels was only 85lb), kicking it into low gear really allows you winch on the fish once you've played them out a little. I have them paired with Amundson Savvy Halibut Jigging Rods. Bought these in May of 2017. Used on 2 trips in 2017 and 1 in 2018. During the 2018 trip the gear button stuck in one one of the reels. Its stuck in low speed. Meant to look into warranty that fall but forgot. Just did the first trip this spring and although it work, the low gear sucks for bait checks and smaller fish. To be honest this reel likley had 10 halibut caught on it before the button jammed. Looked into warranty, and was surprised to see PENN reels only have a 1 year warranty. SHIMANO offers 2 year and OKHUMA offers 3. Could of had Visa cover it if i would have acted in the fall of 2018 but my own fault there. I'll be looking to fix it on my own with Mike's Reel Repair as a parts source. Bottom line, nice reel and they have come down substantially in price since 2017. Great bang for your buck. But ensure you use a credit card that offers additional extended warranty as the one year offered by PENN is about as weak as it gets.
