The PENN Fathom™ II Lever Drag series is engineered for serious saltwater anglers who demand power, precision, and long-lasting durability. Built on a rigid one-piece machined aluminum frame with a forged and machined aluminum spool, the Fathom II delivers exceptional strength while keeping weight manageable.
Featuring PENN’s legendary Dura-Drag™ system, this reel offers smooth, consistent drag pressure—from hook-set to landing big fish offshore. The stainless steel main and pinion gears provide maximum cranking power and corrosion resistance in harsh saltwater environments. Select models include the Quick-Shift™ II 2-speed system, giving anglers instant access to high-speed line pickup or low-gear torque when battling hard-running gamefish.
Designed for trolling, jigging, bottom fishing, and live bait applications, the Fathom II Lever Drag is a proven performer for tuna, halibut, striped bass, sharks, and other hard-fighting species. With its Pull-to-Turn preset knob, accidental drag changes are minimized—offering reliability and control on every trip.
