PENN Squall Two-Speed Lever Drag Reel
PENN's® Squall™ Two-Speed Lever Drag Reels are lightweight, compact, and unbelievably strong—and it's a good all-around choice for multiple offshore species. The Quick Shift two-speed system allows you to instantly transition between high retrieval speed and low crankin' speed. Other benefits include graphite frame and side plate; stainless steel main and pinion gears; Dura-Drag system; double dog anti-reverse system; 4 stainless steel ball bearings (shielded ball bearings); forged aluminum spool with line capacity rings.

Stopped everything thrown at themAbout four years ago, the offshore bug bit me and I've been running offshore every chance I get since then. But, I was having to rely on friends to take me with them. Of course I would help out $ and help clean up etc. But I wanted my own boat. In the meantime I was buying squall 30vsw's(4) and 50vsw(2). Well , finally saved up enough, purchased my own boat and haven't looked back since. These Squalls are 'The Right Stuff'. I fish out of Port Canaveral and Ponce Inlet and retired from NASA a few years ago. There is zero torqueing under heavy drag, none, line lay is the same every time, the drag stays strong under heavy demand and does not weaken when heated up by a big fish pulling drag. I fish alot. I have 2 generations of numbers from my family who used to fish commercial offshore, trolling and bottom. I use fathams on the bottom and slammer III's casting at weed mats, birds dive bombing, etc. keep these reels mainly, rinse them afrer every use and there is no reason why they won't last a lifetime.
Fish on!

Great reels but quality is questionablePurchased five of these reels (3) 30’s and (2) 50’s. I use them trolling for Mahi and other pelagics. Two of the reels are skipping in the high gear after 1 1/ Years of use. The others are holding up well so far.

Just as good as internationalsI had 2 50s last year and they both performed as well as their equivalent internationals. Durable with smooth drags and for half the price. Would get anything else unless I was a charter boat. Perfect for the recreational boat that can get offshore a handful of times a year. Bought 2 more 30s this season and handled big eyes well.

perfect for deep dropsExchanged out an old Squall for this model. Other guys at the rail were half dead pulling up haddock and cod from the deep.I went all day with my Squall hooked up to my back vest.The graphite reel is light fast and powerful. In combo with a Mariner II rod, it does the job.

Overkill for catfishing flatheads
Tgis reel it overkill for flathead catfish in sizes 50vsw?
Asked by: Newcatfisherman
Fishing reels for catfish vary from person to person. Heavier saltwater reels are a good fit in many ways as they’re larger, made to handle heavier weight fishing line and often have good drag systems and heavier features for light saltwater fishing.
Bait cast reels are without question the best choice for catfish reels, having the features you need, capability of landing larger fish and using a variety of techniques.
This reel would be a good option. Thank you!

This its a good option for shark fishing?
Asked by: Newcatfisherman
Thank you for your inquiry. Yes, but I would advise model #: SQL50VSW for the highest test pound possible depending on what type of shark you're going to be fishing for.
That model offers a Mono Line Capacity of: 50 / 890
And a Braid Capacity of: 80 / 2145
