PENN Squall II 20LW Level Wind: Effortless Performance for Every Angler
Meet the ultimate all-purpose boat reel. The PENN® Squall® II 20LW is built for anglers who demand reliability, durability, and trouble-free performance. By combining a rugged construction with an automatic level wind system, this reel solves the biggest challenges of multiplier fishing, making it a favourite for both seasoned anglers and those new to boat fishing.
The star of the 20LW is its robust level wind system. This feature automatically guides your line evenly onto the spool during the retrieve, eliminating the need to “thumb” the line. The result is perfect, compact line lay every time, which prevents tangles, reduces bird’s nests, and ensures the drag performs flawlessly when a hard-fighting fish makes a run. It’s the perfect choice for fishing in the tide-rich waters of Morecambe Bay and beyond, where clean line management is key.
Built on a lightweight yet incredibly strong graphite frame and sideplates, the Squall II 20LW is engineered to withstand the harsh saltwater environment without the risk of corrosion. At its heart, the legendary HT-100™ carbon fibre drag system provides smooth and powerful pressure to control everything from hard-diving pollack to dogged rays.
For dependable, tangle-free fishing day in and day out, the Squall II 20LW is the trusted choice for the UK boat angler. It’s a true workhorse that simply gets the job done.
