PENN Squall II 25NSD Star Drag: The Specialist’s Choice for Casting & Uptiding
Engineered for precision and speed, the PENN® Squall® II 25NSD brings high-performance features to the modern sea angler who demands superior casting and line management. This isn’t just a smaller version of its siblings; the “N” for “Narrow” spool designates it as a specialist tool designed to excel in specific scenarios.
Perfect for the discerning boat and shore angler, the Squall II 25NSD combines PENN’s legendary durability with a lightweight, compact, and ergonomic design. The narrow spool profile is the star of the show, offering casting performance akin to a level-wind reel but with the simplicity and ruggedness of a traditional star drag. This design dramatically improves line lay on the retrieve and reduces the need to manually guide the line with your thumb, resulting in smoother, longer, and more accurate casts.
Like the rest of the acclaimed Squall II family, the 25NSD is built around a corrosion-proof graphite frame and sideplates, making it both incredibly strong and comfortably light for all-day use. When you hook into a hard-fighting fish, the trusted HT-100™ carbon fibre drag system engages smoothly and powerfully, giving you the control needed to win the battle.
Maintenance is a breeze thanks to the Fast Gear Access Sideplate, allowing you to keep your reel in prime condition with minimal downtime. For the angler casting baits uptide from the boat or launching rigs from the shore, the Squall II 25NSD is the ultimate high-speed, high-performance multiplier.
Key Features:
- Specialist Narrow Spool Design: Provides exceptional line lay without manual guidance, leading to better casting performance and fewer tangles. Its ergonomic profile is comfortable to hold and use.
- Lightweight Graphite Frame & Sideplates: Delivers a robust yet lightweight reel that is completely resistant to the corrosive effects of saltwater.

- Machined Aluminum Spool with Line Capacity Rings: The durable, braid-ready spool features PENN’s handy line capacity rings, so you always know how much line you have left (1/3, 2/3, and full capacity).
- 6+1 Shielded Stainless Steel Bearing System: Guarantees a smooth retrieve and reliable operation, with shielded bearings providing extra protection against the elements.
- High-Speed 6.1:1 Gear Ratio: Perfect for quickly retrieving rigs from a distance and keeping in direct contact with hard-running fish.
