PENN SQUALL SQL30VSW LEVER DRAG 2 SPEED CONVENTIONAL REEL

PENN Squall SQL30VSW Lever Drag 2-Speed Conventional Reel

Big fish. Big power. Built for the blue water battlefield.

The PENN Squall SQL30VSW Lever Drag 2-Speed Reel is a heavy-duty offshore reel engineered to tame the most powerful game fish in the ocean. Whether you’re targeting tuna, marlin, wahoo, or deep-dropping for swordfish, this reel delivers unmatched reliability and raw power. Built with a forged and machined aluminum frame, stainless steel main gears, and a smooth, high-capacity Dura-Drag™ system, the SQL30VSW is ready to handle long fights and brutal runs.


Switch effortlessly between two gear ratios (4.2:1 and 1.8:1) with the push of a button—retrieving line fast when needed, or digging in with max torque when the fight gets tough.
