Penn Fathom II Level Wind 20 — Built for Day-In, Day-Out Abuse

The Penn Fathom II Level Wind 20 is a true workhorse designed to handle extreme conditions on every trip. With a full metal body, fast gear access, and the powerful HT-100 drag system, this reel delivers the reliability charter captains demand.

Full Metal Construction for Precise Performance

The full metal body and sideplates maintain precise gear alignment under heavy loads, ensuring smooth operation even when battling hard-fighting fish. The robust construction stands up to saltwater corrosion and the rigors of bottom-fishing or live-bait casting.

Easy Maintenance Meets Power

The Fast Gear Access Sideplate lets you service the gears quickly between trips, minimizing downtime. Inside, the HT-100 carbon fiber drag system delivers up to 13.6 kg of stopping power, giving you control when it matters most. Line Capacity Rings on the spool provide instant visual reference for line remaining.
