PENN Rival Level Wind Inshore/Nearshore Fishing Reel — HT-100 Drag, 15 lb Max, Forged Aluminum Spool

All-Around Versatility for Inshore and Nearshore Anglers

The PENN Rival Level Wind is engineered as an affordable, all-purpose reel built to handle a variety of saltwater scenarios. Its ultralight graphite frame and sideplates are reinforced by forged and machined aluminum frame rings, delivering rigidity where it matters most during heated moments on the water. A forged and machined aluminum spool with line capacity rings gives you a quick read on line as you work a fish toward the boat, helping you stay in control from first bite to the final reel turn.

Designed to meet the demands of saltwater fishing, this reel balances weight with strength so you can cast confidently and fight with steady leverage. Its construction emphasizes durability and dependable performance so you can focus on the experience—whether you’re testing the edge of the inlet or probing nearshore structure.

Design Details That Matter on the Water

• Lightweight graphite frame and aluminum frame rings maintain rigidity without adding bulk.
• Forged and machined aluminum spool with line capacity rings helps you track remaining line during a fight.
• Auto-engaging gears with marine-grade bronze alloy main gear and machine-cut brass pinion gear enable crisp, efficient retrieves.
• Multi-stop shielded 2-ball bearing system provides smooth control when the bite heats up.

Powerful, Smooth Drag and Durable Gearing

• HT-100 drag washers deliver a smooth, predictable drag up to 15 lb (6.8 kg) under heavy loads.
• Drag performance is paired with a 29-inch (74 cm) recovery per crank and a 5.1:1 gear ratio for versatile pacing.
• Right-hand handle orientation optimizes setup for a wide range of anglers and conditions.

Line Capacity Rings and Everyday Reliability

Line capacity rings remove the guesswork of remaining line when the action is on, so you can make informed decisions and adjust tactics on the fly. Built for saltwater use, the Rival Level Wind carries PENN's legacy of durability, designed to stand up to the routine challenges of inshore and nearshore trips since 1932.
