Penn Fathom II Level Wind 20 — Left-Hand Saltwater Multiplier Built for Hard Work

The Penn Fathom II Level Wind (LW) is a full-metal saltwater multiplier reel engineered for anglers who demand reliability under pressure. This size 20 model is configured for left-hand retrieve, making it a natural choice for right-handed rod holders who prefer winding with the dominant hand.

HT-100 Carbon Drag for Confident Fish Control

At the heart of the Fathom II is Penn's HT-100 carbon fibre drag system, delivering a smooth and consistent maximum drag of 13.6 kg. Whether you're stopping a hard-running cod deep down or handling a powerful pollack on the drift, the star drag gives you precise, fingertip control over every fish that bites.

Full Metal Construction with Easy Maintenance

The all-aluminium body and sideplates keep gear alignment precise even under heavy load, protecting the 5.5:1 gear ratio and the 5-bearing system through seasons of demanding saltwater use. The fast gear access sideplate means routine cleaning and lubrication take minutes rather than hours — a practical advantage when fishing day after day from a charter or private boat. Line capacity rings on the aluminium spool let you monitor fill level at a glance.
