  • 4.0 out of 5 stars Works well / cheap bearings / holds less line than advertised
Style: Squall Ii Star Drag Size: SQLII15SD
Comparing this reel (15 SD) to the squall 15 SDCS (casting special), the CS has somewhat better spool bearings and a wider spool. Free spool time is about the same but the CS is noticably smoother . A bearing upgrade to the 15SD should bring it up to the refinement level of the CS or maybe even too fast (haven't tried). My big peeve with all these reels is the undersized reel clamp and foot . I can deal with this on the squall 15SD but on the 15SDCS with a high line capacity and meant to work with big powerful surf rods .... SMH ... someone at Penn needs to be fired . My second peeve is that the line capacity is misleading . I added a pic with 300 yards of 20 lb braid wound on tight and it's pretty much at the 100 % line . The theoretical line capacity is 510 yards of 20 lb braid so the discrepancy is not MINOR. I had intended to add 100+ yards of mono top shot over the braid but will have to re-evaluate now. The magnet does seem to affect the reel as predicted and that's one of the main reasons to own this or the CS reel. I'll update my review after testing the reel out if needed. The Squalls are often described as Fathoms with graphite bodies .On inspecting the internals , I discovered that the squalls don't have a safety anti reverse (dogleg).. while the Fathoms do. Another piece of cost engineering / product handicapping by the marketing / beancounting departments . Overall, the issues I pointed out with these reels might not affect everyone but they are real issues and folks need to know about them (did I mention something about someone at Penn needing to be fired ?).

  • 5.0 out of 5 stars Great Value, Long Casts
Style: Squall Ii Star Drag Size: SQLII12SDLH
I got a 15CS and I'm very happy with it. Mine is set up with 20 lb Daiwa J-Braid X8 on a 10 ft Penn Prevail II casting rod, and I can consistently hit 120 yards with a 4 oz weight and no wind. I decided I didn't want to spend more on an Avet and have not regretted it.

Es un reel economico de Surfcasting, los materiales exteriores y algunos internos difieren del Fathom II. igualmente es una excelente maquina por su valor. Es el segundo que tengo y para la pesca de playa y cuando es necesario lanzar lejos es de muy adecuado . Siempre tirar con mas de 130 gramos en el plomo de salida ... show more

  • 5.0 out of 5 stars Great reel!
Style: Squall Ii Star Drag Size: SQLII15SDCS
This is a great reel for my purposes, I'll be using it for catfishing and also swapping it onto my 12ft surf rod for trips to the gulf. It's lightweight and casts like a dream after you get the hang of it. Hopefully it lasts me a long time.

  • 5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing reel for the $$
Style: Squall Ii Star Drag Size: SQLII25NSD
This is my 4th one. I have two 30's one 25, just got this one and am waiting for the 15 to be delivered. AMAZING piece of equipment for the money. I hate lever drag reels - they're heavy, they break, you can't fix them so you're forced to spend a crazy amount of money for another piece of junk. FABULOuS reel - get one and you'll end up replacing all the fancy-schmancy stuff. ... show more

  • 3.0 out of 5 stars Horrible packaging
Style: Squall Ii Star Drag Size: SQLII15SDCS
Product game in original box, which isn’t ideal for a higher end product. Package had been opened, reel had been opened and small parts were not in bag…. Reel seems to be ok don’t know if I’m missing anything or not…

  • 5.0 out of 5 stars PENN SQL Open Reel with Cast Control that Works!
Update: I've owned this reel for over a year now and use it for off shore in Southern California using 25lb floracarbon and 30lb braid tied using the FG knot. My fishing buddy just ordered one after using mine this past weekend. I put 15 on board before he landed using his old rig. These were big Bonita and put up great fights. I have no fear of hooking up a big yellowtail with this little guy. I also have two other Penn Squalls including the 25N which I also love. The Squall 15 is a great caster using live bait and no weights. The magnetic cast control is wonderful. The 25N is good when throwing iron and takes a little while to get the hang of without the cast control. I highly recommend these reels for boat fishing and so do my buddies who have used mine. After getting spanked, they've ordered Penn Squall as well! Very nice light reel. The cast controls insure that backlash is a thing of the past. I loaded the reel with braid and boat cast with live bait looking for yellowtail in Southern California. I recommend the SQL15 to my friends and am a happy user. In fact, I like the Squall series so much that I now own 3 Penn SQL reels, the 15, 25n and the 30! Great value too! ... show more
