Penn Squall II Star Drag 25N — Lightweight Power for Surf and Light Offshore

The Penn Squall II Star Drag 25N combines fast retrieval, precision casting, and reliable stopping power in a graphite frame that won't weigh you down during long sessions.

Revolutionary Live Spindle Design

The free-floating spool on a rotating spindle delivers smooth, effortless casts and eliminates line twist. Coupled with a 6.1:1 gear ratio and 102 cm retrieve per turn, you'll cover water quickly and efficiently—whether you're working the surf zone or targeting inshore gamefish.

Built for Saltwater Durability

A high-strength marine-grade bronze alloy main gear pairs with a stainless steel pinion to handle the corrosive offshore environment. The Versa-Drag system with HT-100 washers provides 11.3 kg of smooth, fade-free stopping power, while 7 shielded stainless steel ball bearings and instant anti-reverse keep you in control. The Fast Gear Access sideplate makes maintenance straightforward—just remove the plate to inspect and service the gears without disassembling the entire reel.
