The new PENN Fathom™ II Lever Drag Reels are some of the most advanced reels on the market today. Featuring an impressive lineup of sizes, these reels are perfect for anyone looking for a reliable and durable piece of gear that can handle any condition. With its rugged construction and propensity for quality performance, the PENN Fathom II Lever Drag Reel is ideal for both novice and experienced anglers.
PENN Dependability
The new Fathom ™ II Lever Drag reels are class-leading reels that have been improved in many ways. New models, sizing, features, and optimized billfish models give the angler more options, making it the perfect reel for any application. One of the best features of the Fathom™ II is the integrated palm side plate and frame.
This design allows the reel to be more compact and increases its strength. The Pull-to-Turn preset knobs are another great feature that allows the angler to set it once and forget it. The Fathom’s™ core comprises a stainless steel main, pinion gear, and a forged and machined aluminum spool that makes it one of the most durable reels on the market. Let’s examine some of this modern masterpiece’s best features and functions.
Drag
The Fathom II Lever Drag 2-Speed and Lever Drag reels are two of the best new fishing reels on the market. They both feature a one-piece frame and palm side plate, eliminating screws on the palm side of the reel for a more comfortable in-hand feel. They also have reduced frame weight and increased strength. On the cranking side of the reel, they have added some of the best features of the PENN International series.
The Fathom II Lever Drag 2-Speed has a new lever system with a Quick Shift II mechanism allowing an easy-to-use center shift button for low speed and a button on the side for high speed. The new system makes shifting more accessible, reduces corrosion, and improves user maintenance. The Fathom Lever Drag series also has a new pull-to-turn preset knob that, once adjusted, locks in place, which allows anglers to set it and forget it. These features make these reels some of the best on the market for the serious fisherman.
Various Sizes
The Fathom II series from Penn reels come in various sizes and styles to fit any fishing application. The single-speed models are available in 10-30 sizes, while the 2-speed models are available in 10-80 sizes, including the new 80. Two high-speed models (40 and 60) are also built for billfish tournament pros, and four left-handed models.
The high-speed models are designed to provide an ultra-high-speed retrieve of 60 inches per turn, allowing anglers to keep up with the boat’s speed while fishing. The drag is also optimized between 4-7 pounds at strike. Whether you’re a casual angler or a tournament pro, the Fathom II series has a reel that’s perfect for you.
Other Features
The PENN Fathom II Lever Drag series handle knobs are now entirely interchangeable, making it easy to find the perfect grip for your fishing needs. The single and high speeds models come with a football-style knob for quick grab-and-turn action, while the 2-speed models come with the banana handle made for torque and power when pulling on big fish.
The Fathom’s upgraded cosmetics bring eye appeal to these reels that will truly match any rod or boat. With features like a Full Metal Body and Sideplate, One Piece Frame and Palm Sideplate, Quick Shift II 2 Speed System, and Dura Drag Washers, the PENN Fathom II Lever Drag series is sure to give you the edge you need when out on the water.
