PENN Warfare II 30 Star Drag
Product Details
Brand: Penn
The PENN Warfare II 30 Star Drag reel is a versatile and powerful conventional reel designed for anglers who demand reliability and a strong drag system for a variety of saltwater and heavy-duty freshwater applications. The “Star Drag” system gives the angler a familiar and easily adjustable way to control the drag pressure during a fight.
Key Design Features
- Star Drag System: The star drag is a traditional and highly popular drag system on conventional reels. It’s a simple, reliable, and powerful way to control the amount of pressure on a fish. The star-shaped wheel is located next to the reel handle and is easy to adjust, even in the heat of a battle.
- Forged and Machined Aluminum Spool: Unlike some reels in this class that use cast spools, the Warfare II features a forged and machined aluminum spool. This construction makes the spool lighter, stronger, and more resistant to corrosion. It also provides a better foundation for holding a large amount of braided line.
- Instant Anti-Reverse Bearing: This reel is equipped with an instant anti-reverse bearing. This feature prevents any backward movement of the handle, ensuring a solid hookset and eliminating any play when fighting a fish.
Reel Construction and Technology
- Frame and Sideplates: The Warfare II is built with a lightweight yet durable graphite frame and sideplates. This material is highly resistant to saltwater corrosion and provides a comfortable feel in the hand. The frame is reinforced with aluminum frame rings to add rigidity, which prevents frame flex under heavy loads and ensures the gears remain in perfect alignment.
- Drag System: This reel features PENN’s celebrated HT-100™ carbon fiber drag washers. This advanced drag system is a hallmark of PENN reels, known for providing smooth, consistent, and powerful stopping power. The carbon fiber material efficiently dissipates heat generated during a long run, preventing drag fade and ensuring you maintain control of the fish throughout the fight. The maximum drag for this model is a solid 15 lbs (6.8 kg), providing ample power for its size class.
- Gearing: The reel utilizes a robust gearing system consisting of a machined brass main gear and a machined brass pinion gear. This combination is designed for durability and a smooth, powerful retrieve.
- Bearings: The PENN Warfare II 30 Star Drag has 3 shielded stainless steel ball bearings. These bearings are strategically placed to ensure smooth operation under load and are highly resistant to the corrosive effects of saltwater, providing long-term reliability.
- Line Capacity Rings: The spool features PENN’s signature Line Capacity Rings. These are simple but effective visual markers that indicate when the spool is at 1/3, 2/3, and full capacity, making line management easy and intuitive.
