Penn Fathom II Level Wind 15 — Built for Relentless Saltwater Fishing

The Penn Fathom II Level Wind 15 combines heavy-duty construction with precision engineering to handle demanding bottom-fishing and live-bait applications day after day.

Full Metal Body for Perfect Gear Alignment

The all-metal body and sideplates keep internal gears in precise alignment under heavy loads, while the Fast Gear Access sideplate lets you service the reel quickly when you need it. Line Capacity Rings on the aluminum spool show your remaining line at a glance.

HT-100 Carbon Fiber Drag Stops Hard-Fighting Fish

The powerful HT-100 drag system delivers up to 13.6 kg of stopping power through smooth carbon fiber washers. A 5.5:1 gear ratio retrieves 64 cm per turn, and the integrated levelwind ensures even line lay. The 4+1 stainless steel bearing system (with Instant Anti-Reverse) provides reliable, corrosion-resistant performance in saltwater.
