Penn Rival II Level Wind Multiplier Reel

Description

The PENN Rival II 20 Level Wind Left Hand reel is a compact conventional multiplier built for anglers who want the simplicity and control of a left-hand retrieve without a line counter. It suits a range of light to medium-duty fishing in saltwater and heavy-duty freshwater environments. Left Hand Retrieve: the reel is designed for right-handed anglers who prefer to hold the rod with their dominant right hand, giving a natural, powerful reeling motion with better rod control and leverage. Level Wind System: the integrated level wind mechanism spools line evenly back and forth across the reel, preventing bunching and tangles and producing a smooth, uniform line lay that improves casting distance and overall performance. Frame and Sideplates: a lightweight but tough graphite frame with matching sideplates keeps the reel resistant to saltwater corrosion and comfortable to hold over long sessions. Aluminum rings reinforce the frame for extra rigidity, preventing flex and keeping the internal gears aligned under heavy load. Drag System: PENN HT-100 carbon fiber drag washers deliver smooth, consistent stopping power and dissipate heat generated during long runs, preventing drag fade. Maximum drag is 15 lbs (6.8 kg). Gearing: a marine-grade bronze alloy main gear paired with a machine-cut brass pinion gear provides durability and a smooth, powerful retrieve. The gears are auto-engaging, so a simple turn of the handle puts the reel back in gear after casting or letting line out. Bearings: 2 shielded stainless steel ball bearings are positioned for smooth operation under pressure and resistance to saltwater corrosion. Line Capacity Rings: the spool carries PENN Line Capacity Rings, giving clear visual indicators at 1/3, 2/3, and full capacity for managing line during a trip.
