Penn Fathom II Lever Drag 2 Speed 15XN 530g 14.9kg 5.5:1 / 2.8:1

Penn Fathom II Lever Drag 2 Speed 15XN — Two-Speed Power for Saltwater Versatility

The Penn Fathom II Lever Drag 2 Speed delivers legendary lever drag control with the advantage of dual gear ratios, letting you switch between high-speed retrieval and low-gear cranking power in seconds.

Dual-Speed Flexibility for Changing Conditions

The 2-speed system combines a 5.5:1 high gear (96.5 cm per turn) for rapid line recovery with a 2.8:1 low gear (48.3 cm per turn) for fighting deep-running fish or working heavy jigs. Shift seamlessly between speeds to match the situation—crank fast when targeting pelagics or drop into low gear when a trophy fish sounds.

Dura Drag Lever System and Machined Aluminum Spool

Penn's Dura Drag washers provide smooth, consistent pressure up to 14.9 kg, even under extreme heat and saltwater exposure. The machined aluminum spool ensures reliable line lay, while the multi-stop anti-reverse and 5 stainless bearings deliver precision control during every phase of the fight.
