Penn Fathom II Level Wind 30 4.3:1 740g

Penn Fathom II Level Wind 30 — Built to handle extreme saltwater abuse

The Penn Fathom II Level Wind 30 combines heavy-duty construction with powerful gearing for anglers who fish hard day after day. Whether you're bottom-fishing or casting live bait, this workhorse reel delivers reliable performance in the toughest saltwater conditions.

Precision and durability you can depend on

The Full Metal Body and sideplates keep the gears in perfect alignment under heavy loads, ensuring smooth operation even when fighting powerful fish. The Fast Gear Access Sideplate lets you maintain the reel quickly between trips—just remove a single screw to access the drivetrain for cleaning and lubrication.

Stopping power for hard-fighting species

The HT-100 carbon fiber drag system delivers up to 13.6 kg of smooth, consistent stopping power. Combined with the 4.3:1 gear ratio and 68 cm retrieve per turn, you get the low-end torque needed to pull stubborn fish off structure while maintaining control throughout the fight. Five stainless steel bearings (4+1 with Instant Anti-Reverse) ensure fluid performance under pressure.
