Title: Newbie Penn question
Post by: MolBasser on April 05, 2026, 05:36:01 AM
Hi all,

I just bought a squall II 15SDCS for surf fishing, and was curious about new Penns.  The last few new reels I've bought have been cheap chinese reels (piscifun, kastking) and they require opening up and cleaning the crap factory lube and re greasing and oiling (at least they used to).  Will I need to do that with a Chinese built Penn?  Also, the squall does not have a backup dog system, what is the best way to maintain anti reverse bearings.

Thanks
