Penn Squall II 40 9kg 563g 7.1:1

Penn Squall II 40 High Speed — Fast retrieve for active nearshore trolling

The Penn Squall II 40 High Speed delivers 149.9 cm of line per turn thanks to its 7.1:1 gear ratio, making it ideal for fast-paced nearshore trolling and quickly bringing in lures or reeling down to depth.

High-speed retrieve for efficient fishing

With a 7.1:1 gear ratio and 149.9 cm retrieve per turn, the Squall II 40 High Speed lets you cover water quickly when trolling for dolphinfish and kingfish, or rapidly recover line when you need to reset your spread. The stainless steel main and pinion gears deliver smooth, reliable power even under load.

Lightweight graphite construction with serious stopping power

The one-piece graphite frame and sideplate keep the reel at just 563 g, reducing fatigue during long days on the water. Despite its light weight, the Dura-Drag system delivers up to 9 kg of smooth, consistent drag pressure, while the forged aluminum spool handles the heat of hard-running fish. The Pull-to-Turn preset knob prevents accidental drag adjustments during the fight.
