The Squall's are a brilliant surfcasting reel and will help a lot of anglers learn to master an overhead very easily :water:

did it on after cast 4 dropped about 35 yards and thought WTF happened there
took me 2 more casts to find what was going on so out with screw driver and a
rag to wipe the frame and spool down and was back in business .
