Penn Warfare Level Wind 30 3.9:1 641g 6.8kg

Penn Warfare Level Wind 30 — Versatile Power for Big Catches

The Penn Warfare 30 Level Wind delivers robust construction and smooth drag performance for saltwater fishing, combining a lightweight graphite frame with machined aluminum components at an accessible price point.

Lightweight Yet Rigid Construction

The graphite frame and sideplates are reinforced with aluminum frame rings to prevent flex under heavy loads. The forged and machined aluminum spool holds 415 m of 0.49 mm mono or 710 m of 50 lb braid, while line capacity rings let you monitor remaining line at a glance during the fight.

Proven Drag and Gearing

HT-100 carbon fiber drag washers provide consistent stopping power up to 6.8 kg, even when battling strong saltwater species. The machined brass main and pinion gear deliver a 3.9:1 gear ratio with 69 cm retrieve per turn, ideal for cranking power on bottom rigs or handling larger fish. Instant Anti-Reverse and 3 bearings ensure solid hooksets and reliable operation.
