Penn Squall II Reel

Penn Squall II Reel – Trusted Power for Outer Banks Fishing

The Penn Squall II Reel is engineered for saltwater anglers who demand strength, reliability, and performance. On the Outer Banks, where red drum, cobia, and bluefish test your gear daily, the Squall III has become a trusted choice. At Frank & Fran’s, we carry the full Penn lineup, and the Squall III stands out as a reel perfectly suited for OBX surf and offshore fishing alike.

Why Choose the Penn Squall II?

Penn has long been a leader in saltwater reels, and the Squall II continues that tradition. With a lightweight graphite frame, powerful drag system, and corrosion-resistant components, this reel handles the toughest conditions. The Squall III offers anglers the confidence to fish longer, cast farther, and battle harder without worrying about equipment failure.  The Squall III is a great entry level reel for those anglers who are new to fishing with a conventional reel.

Surf and Offshore Versatility

The Penn Squall III is versatile enough to handle both surf and boat applications. Surf anglers love its ability to cast heavy rigs past the breakers, while offshore anglers rely on its power when chasing pelagics. Few reels offer this balance of versatility and raw strength.
