PENN Rival™ II Level Wind 20L jigging reel

PENN® Rival™ II Level Wind 20L: Your Versatile Jigging Powerhouse

Unleash the full potential of your vertical jigging game with the PENN® Rival™ II Level Wind 20L, a masterfully engineered fishing reel designed to be the ultimate all-around workhorse. Built upon the legendary PENN reputation for durability and performance, the Rival II is crafted for anglers who demand reliability and strength without compromise. Whether you´re dropping jigs to deep-water structures, targeting powerful bottom dwellers, or exploring nearshore reefs, this reel provides the heavy-duty fish-fighting power needed to conquer your next trophy catch.

Experience unparalleled control and precision with every drop and retrieve. The Rival II’s lightweight yet incredibly strong construction ensures you can fish all day without fatigue, while its robust internal components are built to withstand the harsh demands of saltwater environments and the strain of battling aggressive fish. The heart of this reel is its powerful gear train, featuring a high-strength main gear and a precision-machined pinion gear. This combination delivers exceptional cranking power and torque, allowing you to confidently winch stubborn fish up from the depths. The auto-engaging gears ensure instant power transfer the moment you turn the handle, eliminating any delay when a fish strikes.

The true star of the show is the signature HT-100™ drag system. This proven system provides smooth, consistent, and powerful drag pressure from the beginning of the fight to the end. Say goodbye to the jerky, inconsistent drag that leads to pulled hooks and lost fish. The HT-100™ washers give you the lockdown power to stop a running fish in its tracks and the finesse to protect lighter lines, offering a max drag of 15 lbs to handle a wide variety of species.

Functionality is at the forefront of the Rival II’s design. The integrated Level Wind system lays your line evenly across the spool, eliminating the need for manual line management and drastically reducing the risk of tangles and backlashes. This is especially critical for jigging, where a clean line lay ensures a smooth, natural-looking lure presentation on the drop. Furthermore, the convenient Line Capacity Rings let you know exactly how much line you have left with just a glance—1/3, 2/3, or a full spool—giving you the confidence to fish at precise depths and manage your line during a long fight.
