Choose by line diameter and required capacity. Size 15 holds 340 m of 0.35 mm mono, size 20 holds 435 m of 0.38 mm, and size 30 holds 415 m of 0.49 mm. Sizes 15 and 20 retrieve 73 cm per turn at 5.1:1, while size 30 retrieves 69 cm at 3.9:1. Size 30 accommodates more thick line but weighs more and retrieves slightly less line per turn.
The LWLH and LWLCLH model codes have a left-side handle. The LW and LWLC versions listed here have a right-side handle. Choose the side you want to wind with, because handle position is a specified variant difference.
At the same size and handle side, both have identical stated capacity, gear ratio, retrieve and 7 kg maximum drag. The LWLC-coded size 15 weighs 490 g rather than 471 g, size 20 weighs 510 g rather than 495 g, and the left-hand size 30 weighs 573 g rather than 553 g. Compare the exact model code and weight rather than assuming the code changes capacity.
The synchronized Level Wind distributes line across the spool, so the reel provides line lay rather than relying on manual distribution. Line Capacity Rings also help you judge the remaining spool fill during a fight, but they are not a stated metre-distance readout.
No. Every version is specified as not pre-spooled and supplied without a spare spool. Plan your main line separately and use the stated mono or braid capacity to choose how much to spool.
All versions use a star drag with HT-100 carbon fiber washers and a stated maximum drag of 7 kg. The washers provide smooth drag under heavy loads, while the Instant Anti-Reverse bearing prevents backward handle movement. Size 30 adds line capacity, not a higher stated maximum drag.

The PENN Warfare II Level Wind is a versatile conventional sea fishing reel with synchronized line lay and HT-100 carbon fiber drag washers. The line guide distributes line across the spool, while the washers provide smooth drag under heavy loads. All versions have a star drag with a stated maximum of 7 kg.
A lightweight graphite frame and sideplates keep weight down. Aluminum frame rings increase rigidity to limit frame flex during a fight. The forged and machined aluminum spool is driven by machined brass main and pinion gears. The 2+1 stainless steel bearing arrangement supports the mechanism, and the Instant Anti-Reverse bearing stops backward handle movement. A mechanical braking system is specified.
Line Capacity Rings on the spool help you judge how much line remains during a fish's run. They indicate remaining spool fill, rather than a stated distance in metres. Every version is Slate Blue/Black, supplied without line and without a spare spool, so select and spool your main line before fishing.
Sizes 15 and 20 share a 5.1:1 gear ratio and retrieve 73 cm per handle turn. Size 30 has a 3.9:1 ratio and retrieves 69 cm per turn, trading a little retrieve speed for greater capacity with thicker line. Size 15 is the lightest option. Choose by the capacity at your intended line diameter, not just the size number.
The complete selection is listed below. Right and Left identify the side of the handle. The LWLC model codes retain the same capacity and retrieve specifications as the corresponding LW size, but weigh more.
| Model code | Handle | Weight | Ratio | Retrieve per turn | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | WARII15LW | Right | 471 g | 5.1:1 | 73 cm | | WARII15LWLC | Right | 490 g | 5.1:1 | 73 cm | | WARII20LW | Right | 495 g | 5.1:1 | 73 cm | | WARII20LWLC | Right | 510 g | 5.1:1 | 73 cm | | WARII30LW | Right | 553 g | 3.9:1 | 69 cm | | WARII15LWLH | Left | 471 g | 5.1:1 | 73 cm | | WARII15LWLCLH | Left | 490 g | 5.1:1 | 73 cm | | WARII20LWLH | Left | 495 g | 5.1:1 | 73 cm | | WARII20LWLCLH | Left | 510 g | 5.1:1 | 73 cm | | WARII30LWLH | Left | 553 g | 3.9:1 | 69 cm | | WARII30LWLCLH | Left | 573 g | 3.9:1 | 69 cm |
Mono capacities are shared within each size, regardless of handle side or LW/LWLC code. Each pair below gives line length and diameter.
| Size | Mono capacity | | --- | --- | | 15 | 340 m at 0.35 mm, 290 m at 0.38 mm, 195 m at 0.46 mm | | 20 | 435 m at 0.38 mm, 290 m at 0.46 mm, 265 m at 0.49 mm | | 30 | 415 m at 0.49 mm, 340 m at 0.54 mm, 260 m at 0.61 mm |
Braid capacities are also supplied for every version in yards and pounds in the variant specifications. They are a separate capacity reference, not mono diameter equivalents.
The supplier describes a saltwater all-round reel. The supplementary applications for the 15LW include boat fishing for bottom and deep-water fish, with squid also named. The 15LWLC is listed for pirking and bottom fishing, including tuna. The 15LWLH is listed for trolling and natural-bait fishing, including haddock. The 15LWLCLH is listed for pirking, with swordfish also named.
The 20LW is listed for pirking, trolling and bottom fishing, including marlin. The 20LWLC is listed for natural-bait and artificial-lure fishing, including barracuda. The 20LWLH additionally names giant trevally, while the 20LWLCLH is listed for pirking and bottom fishing, including sea bass. The 30LW is listed for wreck, deep-water, drift and bottom fishing. The 30LWLH is listed for general sea fishing. These supplementary listings commonly name cod, halibut, coalfish, wolffish, ling, tusk and redfish. The 30LWLCLH has the same documented saltwater designation, without a more specific technique or species list. Compare the stated line capacities and 7 kg maximum drag with your intended setup when selecting a version.
