    • Excellent Reel and Feel good in your hand.
Size: SQLII15SDCS Style: Squall Ii Star Drag
Flawless Reel that you will Love Casting. Handles any size Fish without any issues. Take some time and adjust the braking system to your liking and then just Practice before you head out. I can cast this baby almost 200-300 Yards and Love it for Surf Fishing. Smooth Retrieve and Excellent braking. You will burn your thumb if you're not careful but that's part of using a Conventional reel.. Practice with it will result in less burns. Very Durable design. The Gears are so Quiet when you Retrieve. ... show more

    • nice reel
Size: 15 Style: Squall Ii Star Drag
well made. haven't try it yet but will soon. Update, I've had this reel for a year now and it's well worth the price. This little gem paired with the right rod is a beast. Casting is smooth, I get casts over 100yrds so easy, the mag works, I think people have to understand mags and need to change adjustments when using different weights, also line size also affects speed. I use 30lb 4 strand braid and caught 47 pound tarpon no issues. Great reel. Looking to buy a second. ... show more

    • Higher capacity, longer casting, light weight reel
Size: SQLII15SDCS Style: Squall Ii Star Drag
I paired this reel up to my Penn Carnage iii 10’ surf rod and the reel seat fit. It’s imperative that you turn the reel retaining screws in the correct position so they fit over the reel seat. The black plastic reel clamp had to be slightly filed to ease the retaining bolts onto the screws. The reel continuously receives great reviews so checkout the numerous “YouTube” reviews to see if this model will fit your requirements. The combination of the lighter reel and rod will allow for a full days fishing for most Angers. This reel was the Squall ii star drag Casting Special. ... show more

    • Great reel for a good price
This reel is my first conventional surf casting reel. I have used bait casters in fresh water for decades and have been using spinning reels in the surf since childhood. But I have not used them for long distance casting in the surf. Foolish on my part! The Penn Squall SQL15 was a great first reel to cut my teeth on. The magnetic brake was great for helping me spend more time casting and less time unknotting backlashes as I learn to surf cast with a conventional reel. I started with it at a 10 setting and after a weekend of casts I have it down to a 5 setting. I can now cast further that I was ever able to with spinning reels, in fact I’m getting almost the entire 190 yards of 20 lb. test off the reel. I have caught only one fish large enough to feel the reel was challenged, a large sting ray, and it handled that fine. Only time will tell if it can handle the stress of heavier challenges. I will update if my opinion changes. Update 04/14/2016: I have become proficient enough casting conventional equipment that I needed to upgrade the reel on my surf rod to a larger one. This reel now resides on a Penn Battalion Inshore Conventional rod (BATIN1220C70). The reel fits the rod great and casting is just as good as on the surf rod it was one. I'm still very pleased with this reel. ... show more

    • Works great, after some preliminary maintenance
Size: SQLII15SDCS Style: Squall Ii Star Drag
I bought this to replace a reel that my father used for years. He passed away some time ago and I found his Penn 309 reel sitting on a rod that was literally falling apart. The reel itself has to be 30+ years old and spent about half of that sitting outside on the side of his house. I cleaned it out and it works fine but the retrieve was too slow for me. Seeing as how long that reel held up I decided to buy my own upgrade. this Squall II casting special is great. Not too long but holds a good amount of line for the type of fishing I do. I gave it 4 stars because the bait alert would get stuck and just didn't work so well out of the box. I opened it up and greased the mechanism and now it works great. I absolutely love this real. I can only hope that in 30+ years I can hand it over to one of my kids or maybe even one of theirs. Lol ... show more

    • Love it!

Casts very smooth. Will take some practice to cast the distance that I want. I’m going to use it on a 12 ft carbon fiber Ugly Stik. I’m eager to try it out!
