They are intended for saltwater trolling and boat fishing. The supplier names nearshore trolling for mahi-mahi and kingfish, wreck fishing for conger, and fishing for cod, ling and halibut. Choose the model by line capacity, retrieve and maximum drag for your setup, rather than by size alone.
SQLII40NLDHS has a 7.1:1 ratio and retrieves 149.9 cm per turn, compared with 5.3:1 and 91 cm for SQLII40LD. Both weigh 563 g and have 9 kg maximum drag. The High Speed version suits rapid line recovery and fast lure work, and its separate capacity figures must be checked for your chosen line.
Both retrieve 102 cm per turn with a 4.8:1 ratio. The 50 weighs 683 g and has 12.2 kg maximum drag, while the 60 weighs 692 g and has 14.9 kg. The 60 lists capacities for thicker mono and heavier braid and is described for heavy sea fishing, so compare line requirements against the extra weight and drag.
No. All six models have the handle on the right and are supplied without line or a spare spool. You need a right-hand retrieve setup and must select and spool mono or braid according to the model's capacity before fishing.
The Pull-to-Turn preset knob must be pulled before it can be turned. This protects the preset from accidental changes during handling, while the lever operates the Dura-Drag system during fishing.

The PENN Squall II Lever Drag family comprises right-hand conventional reels for saltwater trolling and boat fishing. A lightweight, ergonomic graphite frame resists corrosion, while the Dura-Drag system provides drag control. The supplier specifies nearshore trolling for mahi-mahi and kingfish, plus wreck fishing for conger and fishing for cod, ling and halibut.
The one-piece graphite frame and palm-side plate keep weight down during handling. Stainless steel main and pinion gears transmit power, and the forged, machined aluminium spool holds mono or braid. Line Capacity Rings provide a visual reference for the amount of line on the spool. The Pull-to-Turn preset knob must be pulled before turning, preventing accidental changes to the drag setting. All versions have a lever drag with Dura Drag material and a Double Dog Ratchet anti-reverse mechanism.
The 25N, 30 and standard 40 models share a 5.3:1 ratio and 91 cm retrieve per turn. The 25N is the lightest at 535 g, with 13.6 kg maximum drag. The 30 weighs 553 g and has 5.8 kg maximum drag. Its supplier-supported uses include bottom fishing with natural bait from a boat around wrecks and deep edges. The standard 40 weighs 563 g and offers 9 kg maximum drag, with more capacity for thicker mono than the 30. The 30 and standard 40 are described for cod, ling and conger, with coalfish and tusk also named for the 40.
The 40N High Speed model, SQLII40NLDHS, retains the 563 g weight and 9 kg maximum drag but changes to 7.1:1 and 149.9 cm retrieve per turn. Choose it when fast lure presentation or rapid line recovery matters, including the supplier-described trolling and jigging applications for bonito, kingfish and large mackerel, as well as cod, coalfish, ling and tusk. Its line-capacity figures differ from the standard 40, so compare them separately.
The 50 and 60 use a 4.8:1 ratio and retrieve 102 cm per turn. The 50 weighs 683 g and has 12.2 kg maximum drag. The 60 weighs 692 g and raises maximum drag to 14.9 kg, with capacity figures for thicker mono and heavier braid. The supplier describes the 60 for heavy sea fishing for halibut, large cod and conger over deep ground, and also for freshwater catfish. The additional capacity and drag come with more weight than the smaller versions.

All versions are Black/Gold and have the handle on the right. They are supplied without line and without a spare spool, so line must be selected and loaded before use.
