Penn Squall II Casting Rod 1.68m Moderate 540g

Penn Squall II — built to battle big saltwater gamefish

The Penn Squall II Casting Rod 1.68 m 540 g is a one-piece trolling workhorse engineered for offshore drift and trolling from the boat. With its tubular fibreglass construction, solid tip, and heavy-duty SeaGuide guides, this 20–50 lb class rod delivers the strength and control you need when targeting tuna, amberjack, and other hard-fighting species.

Unbreakable construction for serious offshore fishing

Built with a one-piece tubular fibreglass blank and a solid glass tip, the Squall II is designed to absorb heavy loads without snapping. The moderate action provides the flex needed to tire fish while keeping steady pressure on the line, even when a big bluefin tuna makes a powerful run.

SeaGuide guides and secure reel seat for flawless line management

The six three-legged stainless steel SeaGuide guides with aluminium oxide inserts are built to handle extreme line pressure and resist groove wear. The heavy-duty graphite DPS reel seat locks your reel firmly in place, while the triangular EVA foregrip prevents rod rotation when you're fighting a powerful fish. The slick butt protects the rod in the holder, and the aluminium gimbal provides a secure, stable connection to your harness during long battles.
