The Penn 12SD Reel Star Drag Overhead Reel is well-suited for a variety of fishing applications in New Zealand. This is a high-quality overhead reel with a strong drag system (HT-100) and a 6.1:1 gear ratio, making it ideal for both slowjigging and live bait fishing.
The Reel:
The Penn® Squall II Star Drag is lightweight, quick on the retrieve, and extremely castable due to its revolutionary live spindle design. Now featuring penn's proprietary fast gear access sideplate, the squall ii is more angler friendly than ever. Available in 5 sizes from 12 to 40, the squall star drag has the reels to handle everything from surf to light duty offshore work.
It’s great for deep-sea fishing, targeting species like Snapper, Kingfish, and Tarakihi. The instant anti-reverse feature ensures smooth hookups, while the high gear ratio and recovery rate make it efficient for reeling in larger fish at depth. With a max drag of 20lb (9.0kg), it's suitable for catching medium to large fish in both offshore and inshore waters.
