PENN SQUALL SQL16VS LEVER DRAG 2 SPEED CONVENTIONAL REEL

PENN Squall SQL16VS Lever Drag 2-Speed Conventional Reel

Heavy-duty drag. Two-speed control. Offshore power in your hands.

The PENN Squall SQL16VS Lever Drag 2-Speed Conventional Reel is purpose-built for serious offshore anglers targeting big game species like tuna, sailfish, wahoo, and grouper. Featuring a powerful 2-speed gear system, precision lever drag control, and a lightweight yet ultra-strong forged aluminum frame, this reel delivers unmatched strength and versatility in demanding saltwater conditions.


With the ability to instantly switch between high-speed (4.5:1) and low-speed (2.1:1) gear ratios, anglers get full control over fast retrieves and heavy cranking under load. The Dura-Drag™ system ensures buttery-smooth performance under heavy pressure, while stainless steel main and pinion gears guarantee long-lasting durability—even after countless runs from hard-fighting fish.


  Key Features:

• Model: PENN Squall SQL16VS

• Reel Type: Lever drag, 2-speed conventional reel

• Gear Ratios: 4.5:1 (high), 2.1:1 (low) – fast retrieve or power cranking on demand

• Frame: Forged and machined aluminum frame and side plates

• Spool: Machined aluminum spool with line capacity rings

• Bearings: 4 shielded stainless steel ball bearings

• Drag System: Dura-Drag™ with large drag washers for smooth, consistent pressure

• Max Drag: Approx. 28–30 lbs

• Line Capacity (Mono): 30 lb / 590 yd

• Line Capacity (Braid): 50 lb / 1335 yd

• Weight: Approx. 44 oz

• Handle: Oversized power handle with aluminum knob for extra torque

• Anti-Reverse: Double-dog ratchet system for rock-solid hooksets

• Designed For: Offshore trolling, bottom fishing, and live baiting


How to Use the PENN Squall SQL16VS Effectively:

1. Use High Speed for Trolling:

Engage the 4.5:1 ratio to cover water quickly and retrieve lures efficiently while trolling for pelagic species like mahi, kingfish, or wahoo.

2. Switch to Low Speed for Big Battles:

Drop into 2.1:1 low gear for maximum cranking power when fighting deep-diving species like grouper, amberjack, or stubborn tuna.

3. Ideal for Live Bait & Bottom Rigs:

The precise lever drag allows for subtle adjustments when fishing live bait or bottom rigs over wrecks and reefs.

4. Pair with a Heavy Conventional Rod:

Match with a PENN Carnage or equivalent heavy-action rod and 50–80 lb braid to handle large fish in offshore conditions.

5. Maintain for Long-Term Use:

The anodized aluminum frame and stainless steel internals make this reel highly corrosion-resistant, but regular rinsing and light oiling will keep it tournament-ready season after season.


Why Anglers Choose the PENN Squall SQL16VS 2-Speed Reel:

Trusted by offshore anglers around the world, the Squall 16VS offers the perfect combination of brute strength, smooth drag control, and two-speed versatility—without the premium price tag of high-end big game reels. Whether you’re trolling, deep dropping, or live baiting, it’s built to perform under pressure.
