Penn Squall?

[The Great Wallsendo]

Anyone had a look at the Penn Squall Lever Drag reels?

Am thinking (hoping) the 30 size is comparable to a TLD 15?

New reel and rod for season required

Rod is already sorted

Unless this guy has MASSIVE hands I think I'm sold

I got the 40LD at the end of last year but haven't had a chance to use it. Looks the part and feels solid, looking forward to using it.

Looks good Tone, but not sure if I could "drag" (see how I done that ) myself away from the TLD ....... you get a bit fixed in your ways at my age

I thought the same Norm but got a Snowbee Deep Blue 10 to try this year, Bert got one last year and ain't broke it yet so they must be good

Been looking at these for aages but if I could afford one then I could also afford a PS4...which I can't

One on a certain auction site ends in about an hour

A bit on the smallish side, so I'll be taking a TLD for deeper waters.

Didn't go for it

Think I'll be going for the Penn...am drawn by the ratio as much as the slightly bling look

 

[KeithB]

Avet MXL 5.8.1 look canny as well

6:1 is the same as the 535 and 525 i use, and usually get told its too fast, go for it Tony....spoil yourself..

 

[The Great Wallsendo]

Given the increase in lure fishing in these waters I think the variation in speed is prob necessary...that's what I'm telling myself any road

Try the Fin Nor Marquessa two speed Tony. I have had two seasons without a glitch and some hard abuse thrown its way. Bomb proof quality reels.
Micky tried it and promptly bought one!

Got the SK3 today...just ordered the Penn

On payday I'll be ordering the Vass Bib and Brace

Eeeh it's like a non stop birthday

 

[BestNest]

Was in a certain tackle shop last month with a TLD & SQUALL in each hand, decided on the TLD because of everyone raving about them, hope I'm satisfied. The Squalls do look the Part...
Hope you enjoy it...

 

[The Great Wallsendo]

Got it today...looks the biz

 

[The Jester]

bling bling....

 

[The Great Wallsendo]

bling bling....

My one concern is perhaps the lastability of the gold trim...but otherwise totally happy

 

[The Jester]

Looks the dogs danglies Tony , does the gold rings round the spool signify depths...:question:
