Penn Squall II Trolling Reels 20LW 502g 14.9kg 57cm

Penn Squall II 20LW — Workhorse Trolling Reel with Fast Maintenance

The Penn Squall II 20LW brings proven levelwind reliability to saltwater trolling with a side plate that opens in seconds for quick maintenance between trips.

Fast Gear Access for Hassle-Free Upkeep

Penn's Fast Gear Access side plate lets you reach the gears without tools, so you can rinse salt, apply grease, and get back on the water. The 4-bearing system (3+1 shielded stainless steel) runs smooth under load, while the HT-100 carbon fiber drag delivers 14.9 kg of stopping power through a star-drag layout that's easy to adjust mid-fight.

Lightweight Graphite Frame with Marine-Grade Internals

Graphite frame and side plates keep the 20LW at 502 g without sacrificing strength. Inside, a forged aluminum spool, high-strength marine bronze main gear, and stainless steel pinion handle the torque of trophy fish. Line capacity rings on the spool show your backing at a glance, and the integrated levelwind spreads mono or braid evenly.
