Manufactured in Philadelphia, the lightweight Torque Lever Drag 2-Speed features an open top design with machined and anodized aluminum body and sideplates, along with a lightweight forged aluminum spool. Quick Shift 2-speed system easily shifts into high or low gear. Engineered to provide long lasting PENN durability, the sealed Dura-Drag washers virtually eliminate hesitation, even under extreme drag settings.
The Dura-Drag system results in smoother start ups and virtually eliminates hesitation, even under extreme drag settings. Unlike other products that advertise their high-potential drag settings but fail to inform you that these drag settings result in drag curves that are anything but angler friendly, and have a high potential to pop lines, pull hooks, and result in lost fish.The Quick-Shift 2-speed system shifts into high or low gear allowing you to easily adjust to any fishing situation on the fly.
Constructed with full metal body and side plates to keep precise gear alignment under heavy loads. This is just one of the reasons PENN reels are considered The Gold Standard in high quality, big game reels. We hold ourselves to a higher standard. So when building the most respected big game reels on the market, we take extra steps to ensure our reels perform better and last longer.

I use this as my 50# flyline outfit or yo-yo/coltsniper setup here in SOCAL for tuna and yellowtail. I rigged my 40NLD2 with 500 yards of 60# Seaguar threadlock and was able to get 50 yards of 50# Momoi Diamond mono on top. I have plenty of capacity for fish pushing 100 pounds and maybe even a little bigger. Most people here in San Diego use this as a 60 pound setup and pushing 80 pound work. I think the Torque series can handle all three classes with ease. Definitely worth the money!
Pros
- Sharp looking
- Narrow which makes it easy for winding on line
- Great casting ability
Cons
- none

Can you fish 100# or even 120#. Braid on this reel?Mainly gonna use for bluefin. Also,suggest Rod length?
1 Answer
You may be able to push the 100lb test but, not the 120. You would lose a lot of line capacity. In addition, due to the max drag 100lb line would not break on the reel. I suggest using 80lb braid. Other reels you may want to consider are the Talica 20 2 speed or Accurate BV2-800 Boss Valiant.

Hi great team,
I'm planning to buy a multipurpose compo and I haave 2 questions:
1- does it work for trolling and jigging? Is it good for both?
2- what is the perfect rod for it?
Thanks a lot
1 Answer
The Penn TRQ40NLD2 Torque Lever Drag 2 Speed Reel is a good reel for trolling and jigging. A good rod to pair with the Penn TRQ40NLD2 Torque Lever Drag 2 Speed Reel would be the Penn Carnage II Jigging Rods for jigging and the Penn Ally Boat Rods for trolling.
