Penn Fathom II 15LD — Compact Power for Serious Saltwater Fishing

The Penn Fathom II Lever Drag 15LD combines a compact, strong one-piece machined aluminum frame with stainless steel internals and a smooth Dura-Drag system, delivering reliable performance for cod, halibut, and other demanding saltwater species.

Integrated Strength and Compact Design

The one-piece machined aluminum frame and sideplate create a rigid, compact profile that fits comfortably in your hand while providing exceptional gear support. Stainless steel main and pinion gears paired with a forged and machined aluminum spool ensure durability under heavy loads, while the 5 stainless steel bearing system keeps retrieves smooth at the 5.3:1 gear ratio.

Lock-In Drag Control

The Pull-to-Turn preset knob eliminates accidental drag changes during the fight. Pull the knob out to adjust your Dura-Drag setting up to 9 kg maximum, then push it back to lock it in place—your drag stays exactly where you set it, letting you focus on the fish.

Choose the Right Variant

The Fathom II Lever Drag lineup covers light-to-heavy saltwater applications:

• 10XN / 10XNLD (400 g, 350/8–220/12 yd/lb, 9 kg drag) — lighter lines for smaller pelagics and inshore work; available in left-hand retrieve

• 25N / 25NLD (524 g, 330/20–245/30 yd/lb, 14.9 kg drag) — heavier mono capacity and stronger drag for larger cod, halibut, and coalfish

• 30LD (527 g, 405/25–255/40 yd/lb, 14.9 kg drag) — maximum capacity at mid-size for extended deep-water sessions

• 40NLDHS (641 g, 715/16–410/30 yd/lb, 18.1 kg drag, 7.1:1 ratio) — high-speed retrieve and heavy drag for billfish and large pelagics
