Penn Fathom II Level Wind 20 5.5:1 621g

Penn Fathom II Level Wind 20 — Built to Outlast Your Toughest Days on the Water

The Penn Fathom II Level Wind 20 with line counter delivers workhorse reliability for bottom-fishing and live-bait presentations. Designed for day-in, day-out use on charter boats and serious offshore trips, this 5.5:1 ratio reel combines a full-metal body, instant anti-reverse, and HT-100 drag to handle hard-fighting saltwater species without compromise.

Full-Metal Construction for Precision Under Pressure

The all-aluminum body and sideplates keep the gears in perfect alignment even when big fish pull hard. Fast Gear Access Sideplate design means you can service bearings and lubricate the 5-bearing system (4 stainless steel + 1 instant anti-reverse) quickly between trips, minimizing downtime and maximizing seasons of reliable performance.

HT-100 Carbon Fiber Drag and Line Counter for Total Control

The HT-100 carbon fiber drag washers deliver up to 13.6 kg of smooth, consistent stopping power. The integrated line counter lets you return to productive depths with precision, while line capacity rings on the aluminum spool show your remaining mono or braid at a glance. With 64 cm retrieve per turn, you can work baits efficiently and recover line quickly when fish commit.
