Penn Fathom II Level Wind 30 — Built to Withstand the Toughest Saltwater Conditions

The Penn Fathom II Level Wind 30 in left-hand retrieve is the go-to workhorse for demanding offshore and inshore saltwater fishing. Its heavy-duty construction and powerful gearing handle extreme daily use, whether you're bottom-fishing for grouper or casting live bait for stripers.

Full Metal Body for Precision Under Pressure

The all-metal body and sideplates maintain exact gear alignment even when big fish load the reel hard. This solid foundation ensures smooth power transfer and long-term reliability, while the Fast Gear Access sideplate lets you perform routine maintenance without tools—essential for reels exposed to saltwater day after day.

HT-100 Carbon Fiber Drag Stops Hard Runners

Penn's HT-100 drag system delivers 13.6 kg of stopping power with carbon fiber washers that stay consistent through long fights. Combined with 5 bearings (4+1 stainless steel system with Instant Anti-Reverse), the Fathom II 30 gives you smooth cranking and the backbone to turn powerful saltwater species away from structure.
