Penn Squall Lever Drag Reel – SQL50LD

Penn has designed the Squall Lever Drag reels with a focus on functionality and ergonomics. One notable feature is that the lever drag does not stick out above the frame of the reel. This eliminates the possibility of the fishing line getting caught on the lever.

The Squall Lever Drag reel features a lightweight graphite frame and sideplates, providing durability without adding excessive weight. The spool is made of forged and machined aluminum, ensuring strength and reliability. The main and pinion gear are constructed from high-strength marine grade bronze, further enhancing the reel's performance.

To enhance the smoothness of the drag system, the Squall Lever Drag reel utilizes Dura-Drag washers. These washers virtually eliminate hesitation, even when the drag setting is at its maximum. This feature ensures a seamless fishing experience, even in demanding conditions.

For the 50 and 60 sizes, the Squall Lever Drag reel includes switchblade harness lugs. These lugs facilitate the attachment of a harness, providing additional support when battling larger fish.

To prevent “drag creep” caused by hours of trolling and vibrations, the Squall Lever Drag reel incorporates a ratcheted drag lever. This feature ensures that the drag setting remains consistent and prevents any unintentional changes during use.

To aid in line management, the Squall Lever Drag reel includes line capacity rings. These rings provide a visual indicator of how much line is left on the spool, allowing anglers to make informed decisions during their fishing endeavors.

The Squall Lever Drag reel utilizes a 5+1 shielded stainless steel bearing system. This system ensures smooth operation and longevity, even in saltwater environments. Additionally, an instant anti-reverse bearing with a silent back-up ratchet eliminates any backward movement when setting the hook on a fish.
