Penn Squall II Trolling Reels 20LWLC 530g 14.9kg 57cm

Penn Squall II 20LWLC — Line-counter precision for serious trolling

The Penn Squall II 20LWLC combines a proven level-wind design with integrated line counter, letting you track your spread with precision and repeat successful depths trip after trip.

Fast Gear Access keeps you fishing

Penn's Fast Gear Access sideplate lets you reach the gears for cleaning and maintenance without tools or disassembly hassle. The 4 shielded stainless steel ball bearings (3+1 system) and HT-100 carbon fiber drag washers deliver smooth, reliable performance in saltwater conditions.

Built tough, stays light

The lightweight graphite frame and sideplates house a forged and machined aluminum spool, high-strength marine-grade bronze alloy main gear, and stainless steel pinion gear. Line capacity rings on the spool let you judge backing at a glance. Despite its robust construction, the reel weighs just 530 g.
