Penn Squall SQL60LD Lever Drag Reels Item ID: 870

The Penn Squall SQL60LD Lever Drag Reel is the big bad wolf of the Squall LD series. It will huff, and puff, and blow big fish right out of the water, whether you’re deep drop bottom fishing, or trolling mid-sized pelagics. Thanks to Penn’s DuraDrag lever drag system, the SQL60LD pumps out a burly 30# drag and won’t creep on you on the troll thanks to a ratcheted lever system. This reel is purposefully built for power; boasting a high-torque 4.3:1 gear ratio and an adjustable VersaHandle system that can change the shaft point when even more torque is needed. Capacity-wise, the SQL60LD holds 370 yards of 50# mono, or 775 yards of 100# braid – ideally, when deep drop fishing for large grouper, snapper, amberjack etc. you’ll be running 500 yards of 80-100# braid, with a large monofilament topshot to keep cost down and give you the much needed mono stretch. The Penn Squall SQL60LD is also a worthy trolling reel, and can be used to target world record class dorado and king mackerel, wahoo, sailfish, and smaller white and striped marlin.
