Penn Squall II Trolling Reels 30LW 604g 14.9kg 89cm

Penn Squall II 30LW — left-hand levelwind power for saltwater trolling

The Penn Squall II 30LW left-hand levelwind reel brings proven big-game performance to anglers who prefer left-hand retrieve, with a rugged graphite frame, HT-100 carbon fibre drag, and enough capacity to tame hard-pulling saltwater species.

Fast Gear Access for easy maintenance

Penn's proprietary Fast Gear Access sideplate lets you open the reel and reach the gears without hassle, making routine cleaning and lubrication quicker and simpler than ever. Combined with four shielded stainless steel ball bearings and Instant Anti-Reverse, the 30LW delivers smooth, reliable cranking power even under load.

HT-100 carbon fibre drag with 14.9 kg stopping power

The HT-100 carbon fibre drag washers deliver up to 14.9 kg of smooth, consistent braking force, surrounded by a lightweight graphite frame and sideplates. The forged and machined aluminium spool, high-strength marine-grade bronze main gear, and stainless steel pinion ensure durability season after season, while line capacity rings show your backing status at a glance.
