Penn Fathom II FTHII30LD2 — Built for Big Game Power

The Penn Fathom II FTHII30LD2 lever drag reel delivers the muscle and precision needed for serious offshore fishing, with dual-speed retrieve and proven Dura Drag stopping power.

Dual-Speed Versatility for Every Fight

The 2-speed transmission lets you switch between a 5.5:1 high gear (38 in per turn) for fast retrieves and a 2.8:1 low gear (19 in per turn) for maximum cranking power when battling trophy fish. This flexibility helps you control the fight from first hook-up to the gaff.

Dura Drag System with 14.9 kg of Stopping Force

Penn's smooth Dura Drag washers deliver up to 14.9 kg (33 lb) of consistent braking pressure, while the lever drag design gives you instant, precise adjustments mid-fight. Five bearings plus multi-stop anti-reverse ensure smooth operation and solid hooksets.
