Squall Leverdrag REEL SPECS
REEL INFO:
Function and ergonomics were at the top of the list when we designed the new Squall™ lever drag reel. A lightweight graphite design holds our top-of-the-line drag system, Dura-Drag™. There are even left hand models in the line. (PENN Squall Lever Drag TV Commercial )
This reel is a great all-around reel for trolling and dropping back to hungry sails and marlin, or battling big dorado, wahoo and tuna. It would also perform well as a kite reel for those anglers who fish the Florida sailfish events. It's high speed with a 6.1:1 Gear
Ratio, so it would also make a smart choice when fishing the bottom. With such versatility, it's safe to say the Squall Lever Drag is pretty much ready to tackle anything you throw at it. The reel comes in four sizes, two of which are offered in left-hand versions

HISTORY:
The Squall reel has it's roots in the 525Mag series. 2011 is also the year Penn started renumbering their conventional reels with 40 for 4/0, 50 for 5/0, etc., to make the model numbering more consistent.
