Penn Squall II 25 13.6kg 535g 5.3:1

Penn Squall II 25 — Lightweight Power for Nearshore Trolling

The Penn Squall II 25 Lever Drag combines a lightweight graphite body with serious stopping power, making it the ideal choice for trolling nearshore waters for dolphin, kingfish, and other hard-fighting species.

Graphite Construction Meets Durability

The one-piece graphite frame and palm sideplate keep the reel weight down to just 535 g without sacrificing strength. Inside, stainless steel main and pinion gears deliver reliable power transmission, while the forged and machined aluminum spool handles braided and monofilament lines with ease. The Dura-Drag™ system provides smooth, consistent braking pressure up to 13.6 kg, giving you control when the fight matters most.

Precise Control with Pull-to-Turn Preset

The Pull-to-Turn preset knob eliminates accidental drag adjustments during the fight, letting you lock in your setting with confidence. Line capacity rings show exactly how much line remains on the spool, and the 5 bearings (4 stainless steel plus 1 roller bearing) ensure smooth operation. A double dog ratchet anti-reverse keeps the handle secure under load.
