Title: Penn Warfare II 20N Reviews?
Post by: MACflyer on August 03, 2026, 09:39:33 PM
Been seeing a lot of these selling new in blister packs on Marketplace and eBay the past week or so for $50-$75. Close out maybe? Looks like a nice reel. Anyone here using one care to share your opinion? Thanks.

I picked up a new Warfare I 20N SD for cheap just to see what it looked like inside and was impressed at what I saw.  As of now It has never had line on it.   I'm not sure what changed on the Warfare II though.  MSRP for the Warfare II 20N is $150.00.  If they can really get close to 15# of drag they would make a good low budget 40# reel.

I have seen some used here for bottom fish....I would not recommend.... unless you fish very little or are really on a budget.


Cheers

They have double dogs and the gears look similar to the FTH SD reels.
