I wanted to see if any of you may be able to offer your opinion on a reel or have a better suggestion for me. I have a Shimano 4000S but want to get something a little bigger for some offshore fishing. I was looking at the Penn Squall lever drag. Is anyone familiar with this reel or have a better suggestion in the same price range? Thanks in advance.

I'm not familiar with the Squall. I found ebay has some good used reels.
Penn Senators 3/0 or 4/0 size are bullet proof
Shimano TLD 15 and 20 lever drags are good as well.
You should be able to get a great bottom reel for less than $50 if you are willing to buy used.

You aren't kidding. Those things are practically invincible:thumbsup:
