Penn Fathom II Lever Drag 2 Speed 40N 683g 18.1kg 6.0:1 / 1.9:1

Penn Fathom II 40N — Two-Speed Power for Big-Game Fishing

The Penn Fathom II 40NLD2 left-hand lever-drag reel delivers dual-speed versatility and robust stopping power for targeting large saltwater predators. Its bent T-handle and ergonomic design keep you in control during extended battles.

Two-Speed Precision for Every Phase of the Fight

Switch seamlessly between 6.0:1 high speed (50 inches per turn) and 1.9:1 low speed (16 inches per turn) to match the fish's behavior. Crank fast to gain line when the fish tires, then drop into low gear to apply maximum pressure and lift heavy gamefish from depth.

Dura-Drag System and Multi-Stop Anti-Reverse

The Dura-Drag washers provide smooth, consistent pressure up to 18.1 kg (40 lb) without fade, even under sustained heat. Five bearings and a multi-stop anti-reverse ensure instant hooksets and zero back-play when you need leverage most.
