A deadly combination

The PENN Squall 40 Ugly Stik Bluewater Overhead Jigging Combo is lightweight, durable, and offers great value for your money. It’s loaded with great features that you’re sure to love. The perfect combination of the reel’s rugged construction and the rod’s strength and sensitivity makes this combo a deadly weapon for any fish that will strike your bait.

The Reel
Are you into bottom fishing or trolling? Are you looking for power or speed? The PENN Squall 40 Star Drag Overhead Reel is constructed with a lightweight graphite frame and is outfitted with a free-floating spool due to the Live Spindle design for exceptional casting performance. It offers a lightweight setup whether you are jigging or making quick, extended casts to Tuna in a feeding frenzy.

Live Spindle Design
The revolutionary Live Spindle design ensures exceptional casting performance. The improved configuration allows the spool to spin independently of the spindle and pinion gear, which significantly reduces friction experienced from the extreme acceleration of the spool when casting. Other reels using a fixed spindle design slow the rotation of the spool and reduce casting distance. Additionally, the Live Spindle improves the retrieve of the reel because the spindle and pinion do not need to turn relative to each other during heavy loads, unlike a fixed spindle reels that result in a difficult retrieve and erratic drag.

Versa-Drag
By rearranging the sequence of the keyed metal washers and eared HT-100 washers the reel can be set up for fishing a wide range of drag settings without additional parts.

Line Capacity Rings
Eliminate the question of how much line you have left when fighting
a fish. The three lines on the spool flange let you know when you
have 1/3rd, 2/3rd, or a full spool of line. Also if you respool
often these lines give you a benchmark for backing your superlines
with monofilament which will help eliminate wasted time and
line.

Versa-Handle
Are you into bottom fishing or trolling? Are you looking for power or speed? The Squall Lever Drags Versa-Handle system allows you to choose how long the handle should be in less than a minute (tools are included with each reel). Assemble the reel in the long position for more power or assemble in the short position for more speed.

The Rod
Rated at 37kg, the Ugly Stik Bluewater Overhead Jig Rod is made using the Howald Process, with longitudinal graphite fibres and a triple weave construction to provide the foundation of strength that the Bluewater series is built on. This overhead rod features blank-through-handle construction for added strength and sensitivity, Fuji guides and components and under-wrapped guides for durability and longevity. Plus it’s fully coated with epoxy for extra protection against UV rays. This rod is perfect if you want to take on Kingfish and Snapper.
