Penn Fathom II Lever Drag 2 Speed

Penn Fathom II Lever Drag 2 Speed 15 — Versatile Two-Speed Power for Inshore and Light Offshore

The Penn Fathom II 15LD2 delivers dual-gear flexibility in a compact lever-drag package, letting you switch from fast retrieval to high-torque cranking with a single shift.

Two-Speed Gearing for Tactical Control

The 6.2:1 high-speed gear recovers 81 cm of line per turn—ideal for quickly gaining on fast-moving pelagics or picking up slack. Drop into 2.8:1 low gear (36 cm per turn) when you need maximum leverage to muscle stubborn fish away from structure or turn a big head during a long fight.

Dura-Drag Lever System with 9 kg of Stopping Power

Penn's Dura-Drag washers deliver smooth, consistent pressure across the entire range, while the lever lets you adjust drag on the fly without losing your grip. The 5-bearing system and multi-stop anti-reverse keep everything locked and steady under load, and the machined aluminum spool ensures heat dissipation during sustained runs.
