Penn's Squall Level Wind Reel is a conventional sea multiplier for anglers who want a compact workhorse for boat, pier and general saltwater bait fishing. It follows the long-running GT-style level-wind idea, but with updated gearing and instant anti-reverse.
A lightweight graphite frame and sideplates help keep the reel manageable on a range of sea rods. The forged and machined aluminium spool includes line capacity rings, so the angler can judge how much line remains during a fight or when setting up backing.
The level-wind system lays line across the spool during retrieve. That is useful for repetitive boat fishing, charter-style use and anglers who prefer not to guide line manually under load. Penn lists a bronze main gear and stainless pinion gear, giving the drive train the materials expected from a saltwater reel. HT-100 drag washers provide controlled pressure, while two stainless steel bearings and instant anti-reverse keep the mechanics simple and durable.
Left-hand sizes are available in the 20 and 30 sizes, which is useful for anglers who prefer to wind with the opposite hand. The conventional level-wind layout is aimed at bait, boat and saltwater duties where tidy line lay, steady winding power and practical line capacity are priorities.
