Penn Squall II Level Wind Line Counter Reel

Description

The PENN Squall II 20LWLC Level Wind Line Counter is a precision trolling and boat reel built for anglers who need to place baits and lures at exact distances and depths. Combining the toughness of the Squall series with an integrated line counter and a level wind system, it lets you repeat successful drop-backs to the same spot where fish are feeding, whether you are trolling for salmon, targeting cod over a wreck, or downrigger fishing for sea trout. The level wind system lays line evenly across the spool automatically, which keeps operation hands-free and prevents line from digging into itself under heavy pressure, so the drag stays smooth and consistent during a fight. The reel is built on a lightweight graphite frame and sideplates that resist corrosion in saltwater, while the HT-100 carbon fibre drag and 3+1 shielded stainless steel bearing system deliver smooth, dependable performance. Key features: - Integrated Mechanical Line Counter: measures line out in feet for accurate depth and distance control, useful for repeating trolling patterns and placing baits precisely. - Automatic Level Wind System: ensures even line lay on the retrieve, preventing line-dig and maintaining performance when a big fish runs. - Lightweight Graphite Frame and Sideplates: strong and light, reducing fatigue over long sessions and resisting corrosion. - HT-100 Carbon Fiber Drag System: provides powerful, smooth and dependable drag to control strong fish without jerky start-ups. - 3+1 Shielded Stainless Steel Bearing System: smooth and reliable performance, with shielded bearings to protect against the elements. - Machined Aluminum Spool with Line Capacity Rings: durable, braid-ready spool with line capacity rings for a quick visual reference of remaining line. Ideal applications: - Trolling: the primary use, suited to trolling for salmon, sea trout, mackerel and bass where lure depth is critical, and also effective for freshwater trolling for pike and zander. - Downrigger Fishing: accurately measure the distance of your lure behind the downrigger ball for correct presentation. - Precision Bottom Fishing: drop baits to exact depths over wrecks, reefs and specific underwater features where fish hold. - Kayak Fishing: the level wind and line counter allow easy one-handed operation, useful when managing a paddle and the position of your kayak.
