Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Power handle is huge and the clicker is probably louder than the abu. Works great, but didnt blow my mind.

Loaded with 50lb braid gives tons of yardage and with the smooth strong drag weights makes for an amazing enjouable figjt. All great reels.

Best size for catfishing is definitely the 20lw. Have one in 30 and 50 lw. Caught this 30+ lb halibut with this penn. Used for salmon trolling.



Cons

I am disappointed that a company that was once an american icon has succumbed to having their products made offshore. This is really poorly indicated in the description. Hope they refund or replace.

Squall 15lw is a left handed reel. When pull back the lever, the reel is in free spool.

    Took it two days back to back to break it in


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Particularly useful was the clicker making it obvious of a bite and giving you a decent idea on fish size depending on how quickly it was stripping line

    Requires specific fishing line matched to the game you are targeting
