REEL INFO:
Function and ergonomics were at the top of the list when we designed the new Squall™ lever drag reel. A lightweight graphite design holds our top-of-the-line drag system, Dura-Drag™. There are even left hand models in the line. (PENN Squall Lever Drag TV Commercial )
This reel is a great all-around reel for trolling and dropping back to hungry sails and marlin, or battling big dorado, wahoo and tuna. It would also perform well as a kite reel for those anglers who fish the Florida sailfish events. It's high speed with a 6.1:1 Gear
Ratio, so it would also make a smart choice when fishing the bottom. With such versatility, it's safe to say the Squall Lever Drag is pretty much ready to tackle anything you throw at it. The reel comes in four sizes, two of which are offered in left-hand versions
(www.bdoutdoors.com 2011 Review)
HISTORY:
The Squall reel has it's roots in the 525Mag series. 2011 is also the year Penn started renumbering their conventional reels with 40 for 4/0, 50 for 5/0, etc., to make the model numbering more consistent.
Name/Series: Squall Lever Drag

11/30/2024 This is the spot if you fix Penn reels. What a awesome shop. Great website. Schematics of reels on hand with available parts list. Best shop around. Since you can't walk into Penn reels in Philly anymore, this is the next best thing. Thanks for your services!!!!! Even parts for vintage reels. Delivery is super quick as well.
10/23/2024 Easy to order parts and they shipped fast. Great seller! Hope to do business with them again! If you do not find what you are looking for do a Google search with Mystic Reel Parts in the search with your model. I have a Penn 285 and 9 and it took me to the exact page for both. Also have the reel schematics.

I luckily found MysticParts via a Google search. Their website is comprehensive and I was at a loss on what I needed. Fortunately the “contact us” option was user friendly. To my delight I got a personalized and VERY helpful response right away. She asked questions to fully understand my needs and then followed up with links to the right parts. We continued our email exchange regarding my second reel issue and, again, she was extremely knowledgeable and gave me both practical as well as professional solutions.
If you need reel parts and assistance with repair and maintenance, do not hesitate to work with them.
