Penn Squall II 30LWLH — Easy-Access Maintenance for Serious Trolling

The Penn Squall II Level Wind 30LWLH combines proven trolling performance with the convenience of left-hand retrieve and tool-free sideplate access, making maintenance faster so you spend more time fishing.

Fast Gear Access Sideplate for Effortless Servicing

Penn's proprietary Fast Gear Access Sideplate lets you reach the gear train without tools, simplifying routine cleaning and lubrication. The lightweight graphite frame and sideplates keep overall weight at just 604 g while protecting the 4-bearing system (3+1 shielded stainless steel ball bearings) and marine-grade bronze main gear from saltwater environments.

HT-100 Carbon Fiber Drag for Consistent Pressure

The HT-100 carbon fiber drag washers deliver smooth, reliable stopping power up to 14.9 kg, handling hard-fighting pelagics without hesitation. The 4.9:1 gear ratio and 89 cm retrieve per turn strike a practical balance between cranking power and line recovery, while the integrated levelwind ensures even line lay across the forged aluminum spool.
