Penn Squall II 30 5.8kg 553g 5.3:1

Penn Squall II 30 — Lightweight Power for Nearshore Trolling

The Penn Squall II 30 Lever Drag combines a lightweight graphite frame with serious stopping power, making it ideal for trolling dolphin and kingfish or dropping baits for cod and grouper.

Dura-Drag System Delivers Smooth, Reliable Pressure

The Dura-Drag system ensures consistent braking performance fish after fish, while the pull-to-turn preset knob prevents accidental drag changes during the fight. Stainless steel main and pinion gears handle sustained pressure without flex.

One-Piece Graphite Construction Cuts Fatigue

At just 553 g, the one-piece graphite frame and sideplate keep weight down without sacrificing rigidity. The forged and machined aluminum spool resists corrosion, and line capacity rings let you monitor remaining line at a glance. Five stainless steel bearings ensure smooth retrieval.
