A lever drag reel uses a mechanical lever to set and fine-tune the drag pressure, offering precise control during the fight. Lever drag reels are ideal for trolling and targeting large, powerful saltwater species that require exact drag settings to prevent line breakage and handle hard runs.
Size 25–30 suits smaller to medium species like sea trout and smaller cod. Sizes 40–50 are versatile for bass, mackerel, and mid-sized bottom fish. Size 60 handles heavyweight targets like large cod, halibut, and conger. Choose based on your typical line weight and target fish size.
The Dura-Drag system uses carbon fiber composite technology to deliver smooth, consistent drag pressure across the entire range, even under sustained stress. This prevents jerky behavior and line-snapping spikes when battling hard-fighting fish.
Yes, the Squall II 40 High Speed (7.1:1 gear ratio) offers a 150 cm line retrieve per turn, compared to the standard 40's 91 cm. The higher ratio suits techniques like trolling wide patterns or jigging situations requiring rapid line recovery.
These reels are primarily designed for saltwater use, with stainless steel gears and bearings that resist corrosion. While the Squall II 40 and other mid-sizes can handle freshwater catfish or pike, the heavier models (60) are optimized for offshore saltwater targets.
Smaller sizes (25–30) have 4 stainless steel bearings and max drag around 5.8–13.6 kg, suitable for light to medium applications. Larger sizes (40–60) maintain 4–5 bearings with drag ratings from 9 kg to 14.9 kg, supporting heavier rigs and larger species without sacrificing smoothness.

The Squall II Lever Drag reel combines power and reliability in a lightweight, ergonomic package designed for saltwater trolling and big-game fishing. Built with a graphite frame that resists corrosion, the reel features stainless steel main and pinion gears paired with Penn's proven Dura-Drag system for consistent braking under load.
The one-piece graphite frame and palm sideplate reduce weight without sacrificing strength. A forged and machined aluminum spool ensures smooth, even line lay across multiple sizes. The Pull-to-Turn preset knob prevents accidental drag changes during the fight.
Stainless steel bearings and gearing protect against corrosion in demanding saltwater conditions. Available in six sizes (25 to 60), including a high-speed 40N variant, there's a model suited to every angler targeting trophy fish offshore.
